Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 According to the reference literatures, Ankol (Alangium salvifolium) is a small tree with edible fruits. It is found throughout the country particularly in drier parts. The wood is used for making musical instruments, and an alkaloid from bark is said to lower blood pressure. In Chhattisgarh Ankol is well known tree of medicinal importance. Its all parts are used very commonly as traditional medicine. During the Ethno-entomological surveys conducted in different parts of Chhattisgarh, I have observed that the traditional healers of Ankol rich regions of Southern Chhattisgarh use Indoaleyrodes sp. feeding on this tree as medicinal insect. Both nymphs and adults are used but nymphs are used more commonly. I have mentioned in previous articles that the healers of Chhattisgarh use many herb and insect based formulations to nullify the harmful effects of rat-bite. The traditional healers of Southern Chhattisgarh prepare full fed nymph based herbal combinations for this purpose. Many healers mix the dry insect powder with cow urine and in form of an aqueous paste, apply it on affected part. According to the traditional healers both internal as well as external uses at a time cures the trouble effectively in very less time. In treatment of Diarrhoea, the traditional healers of Charama region mix the dry insect powder with Dahi (Curd) and give the combination to the patients, many times a day, till complete cure. It is considered as one of the promising treatments. In general, the healers do not inform the patients that they are using insect powder. Many healers consider it useful in treatment of bronchitis but as other promising alternatives are available it is used less commonly. The traditional healers of Narharpur region boil the full fed, freshly collected nymphs in base oil to prepare special oil. This special oil is used as cure for burning sensations in soles and palms. The special oil is massaged gently on affected parts. I have tried it successfully many times. The traditional healers of other regions of Chhattisgarh are not much aware of these uses. These traditional medicinal uses of Indoaleyrodes sp. feeding on Ankol have yet not been reported in reference literatures. It is a matter of appreciation that the traditional healers of Southern Chhattisgarh are not only aware of these uses but also they are practicing this traditional knowledge in their daily life. I am feeling fortunate to document this important traditional medicinal knowledge.
