vivipary - Dictionary of botany
vivipary - Dictionary of botany: "vivipary
1. The differentiation of young plants or bulbils at the floral axils, instead of flowers. This is seen, for instance, in viviparous fescue (Festuca vivipara) and in the spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum).
2. The premature germination of seeds or spores in situ on the maternal plant before they have been released. This occurs in the mangroves where seeds may develop into sizeable seedlings before they are shed from the parent tree."

How to use Henna leaf
Henna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The dry powder is mixed with lemon juice, strong tea, or other mildly acidic liquids to make a preparation with toothpaste-like consistency, which can be used to make finely detailed body art. The henna mix must rest for 6 to 24 hours before use, to release the lawsone from the leaf matter. Essential oils with high levels of monoterpene alcohols such as tea tree[disambiguation needed

Ocimum tenuiflorum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Recent studies suggest tulsi may be a COX-2 inhibitor, like many modern painkillers, due to its high concentration of eugenol (1-hydroxy-2-methoxy-4-allylbenzene).[5][6] One study showed it to be an effective treatment for diabetes by reducing blood glucose levels.[7] The same study showed significant reduction in total cholesterol levels with tulsi. Another study showed its beneficial effect on blood glucose levels is due to its antioxidantproperties.[8] Tulsi also shows some promise for protection from radiation poisoning[9] and cataracts.[10] The fixed oil has demonstrated antihyperlipidemic and cardioprotective effects in rats fed a high fat diet[11] Experimental studies have shown an alcoholic extract of tulsi modulates immunity, thus promoting immune system function.[12]Some of the main chemical constituents of tulsi are: oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, rosmarinic acid, eugenol,carvacrol, linalool, β-caryophyllene,[13] β-elemene (c.11.0%), β-caryophyllene (about 8%), and germacrene D (aboutv2%).[14] β-Elemene has been studied for its potential anticancer properties,[15] but human clinical trials have yet to confirm its effectiveness.[16]
