The present study was conducted in Ranthambhore National Park, located in the eastern region of Rajasthan, in District Sawai Madhopur. To record the ethnomedicinal knowledge of the local Mogiya tribe, a field survey was conducted. The Mogiya tribes that live in and around Ranthambhore National Park use 106 plant species from 48 families to treat a variety of illnesses. A thorough list of these plants, along with their botanical names, regional names, portions used and therapeutic uses, is provided in this publication. Several of the plants identified in this study have substantial therapeutic promise, particularly with regard to sports-related injuries. Following close examination and comparison with earlier research, we were able to pinpoint particular plants that show promise in treating common sports-related ailments like sprains, strains, inflammation and muscle soreness. These plants may offer natural options for the treatment of sports injuries because they contain active chemicals that have analgesic, anti-inflammatory and tissue regenerative qualities. The results demonstrate how additional clinical research and drug development based on Mogiya traditional knowledge could advance contemporary sports medicine.

Martynia annua L. is a roadside weed commonly known as Tiger’s claw, Cat’s claw, and Devil’s claw have been used as a medicinal plant from ancient times. This review aimed to collect and compile information on Martynia annua L., covering its botanical characteristics, phytochemical composition, ethnomedicinal uses, pharmacological properties, and toxicological aspects. Traditional treatments often utilize various parts and compounds of this plants to address diverse ailments. M. annua L. stands out as an exceptionally versatile medicinal plant due to its rich array of bioactive compounds. M. annua L. possess pharmacological activities such as Antibacterial, Antifertility, Antifungal, Anti-anthelmintic, Antioxidant, Antidiabetic, Anti-inflammatory, Anticancer, Anticonvulsant, Anti-Muscular, Gastroprotective, Hepatoprotective, Immunomodulatory, and Wound healing activity. The phytoconstituents, including carbohydrates, phenols, tannins, glycosides, anthocyanins and flavonoids have been integral in traditional practices for treating various diseases such as epilepsy, tuberculosis, sore throats and inflammatory disorders. Plants remain a vital source of medicine for a large part of the global population, particularly in rural areas where access to effective and affordable treatments remains challenging. Future investigations into other bioactive compounds derived from M. annua L. may unveil its distinct therapeutic potential.

Nephrogenic Diabetes insipidus (NDI) is an issue coming about because of lacking against diuretic hormone (ADH) activity and is described by the entry of extensive measures of exceptionally dilute urine. This problem must be separated from other polyuric states, for example, essential polydipsia, osmotic diuresis and diabetes mellitus. Diabetes insipidus is a condition when a person is passing urine with excess of water, this condition arise due to improper re-absorption of water during urine formation. Aquaporins (AQPs) play a important role in absorption of water. AQP2 is quite dominant than other isoforms. This article provides nutshell information about Diabetes Insipidus and role of Aquaporin-2 gene in its physiology.

Background: Plant-based nutraceuticals and therapeutics have emerged as promising natural interventions to enhance athletic performance, support recovery, and promote long-term health benefits. Compounds from herbs, vegetables, fruits, seeds, legumes, and other plant parts are rich in antioxidants such as polyphenols, flavonoids, and carotenoids, as well as essential micronutrients that collectively modulate oxidative stress, inflammation, immune response, and metabolic functions during physical exertion and injury. Objectives: This review evaluates findings from clinical research involving athletes, along with traditional knowledge from indigenous communities that utilise plant-based remedies to manage sports injuries, muscle fatigue, and recovery. Methods: A literature search was performed using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for studies published between 1999 and 2025, with a focus on the last 10 years, using keywords related to plant-based nutraceuticals, Sports, Athletic performance, Sports injury, Sports supplements and Adaptogens. Only English language human studies publications involving athletes or physically active individuals were included. Results: Various human studies have widely documented their roles in reducing exercise-induced / sports-induced muscle damage, accelerating tissue repair and improving endurance capacity. Plant-derived compounds such as Curcumin, Quercetin, Catechins, Resveratrol and Allicin exhibit the capacity to improve muscle strength, reduce fatigue and enhance recovery. Additionally, various adaptogens help in the regulation of stress hormones and improve physical resilience under high training loads. Traditional and indigenous knowledge supports these findings, particularly for managing sports injuries and recovery. Conclusion: Plant-based nutraceuticals offer effective, safe, and multifunctional support for athletic performance and recovery. Their integration into sports nutrition holds strong potential to improve performance and injury management after standardized clinical investigations.
