Abstract
To study phytochemical screening, Antioxidant property, and wound healing and hair growth of Olives tree (wild and cultivars) and Juniperus excelsa are the most important natural sources used to treat many diseases around the sultanate of Oman. Preliminary phytochemical analysis and DPPH method of antioxidant assay was carried out invitro. The experimental plant materials were also used to test their effect on hair growth and wound healing on Swiss albino mice(n = 3). Results of phytochemical study showed that tannins, alkaloid, saponin, terpenes, phenolic were found at high concentration (+++), while the rest of the constituents were found at moderate (++) to low concentrations (+). DPPH free radical scavenging potential of water extract of juniperus excelsa was (50 µg/ml = 83.30 %) found to be more effective, at 200 µg/ml concentration be 64.62 % free radical scavenging percentage was noticed. In the wound healing study, it was observed that juniperus extract showed significant result on the recovery of linear wound. Against the hair growth study, it was observed that the wild and cultivar olive water extracts have the best effect on hair growth. From these findings it is clear that these traditional medicinal plant parts can be effectively used for pharmacological preparations.
