Traditional medicinal knowledge about Lyncestis amphix Cr. (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) feeding on Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) in Chhattisgarh, India. Updated Version.

Pankaj Oudhia

Introduction

Entomophagy and Entomotherapy are well known in Asia since generations. Unfortunately not much work has been done to document valuable Traditional Medicinal Knowledge about Insects. Pankaj Oudhia is documenting this knowledge since year 1990. The present note “Traditional medicinal knowledge about Lyncestis amphix Cr. (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) feeding on Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) in Chhattisgarh, India.”  is updated version of his previously published online research document available through pankajoudhia.com.

Keywords: Entomophagy; Entomotherapy; Medicinal Insects; Ayurveda; Chhattisgarh;

Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) is a well known sacred plant of the Indian, grown in houses, gardens and temples all over India. The oil from leaves has the property of destroying bacteria and insects. In reference literatures related to different systems of medicine in India, Tulsi holds a reputed position as medicinal herb. Its all parts are used as medicine both internally as well as externally. The natives and traditional healers of Chhattisgarh are well aware of this herb. It is an integral part of home garden. It is herb of religious and medicinal importance. Recently, its commercial cultivation has started in Chhattisgarh. The infestation of Lyncestis caterpillars is common in Chhattisgarh. The traditional healers consider this problematic pest as medicinal insect. Through the Ethno-entomological surveys conducted in different parts of Chhattisgarh in recent past, I have collected valuable information on this aspect. The full fed caterpillars are used both internally as well as externally. It is used internally after purification. The caterpillars are dipped in Neem leaf extract before using it as medicine. After dipping it upto two hours, the caterpillars are dried and converted into powder. This caterpillar powder is considered very useful in treatment of respiratory troubles. It is added in popular herbal combinations as main ingredient. According to the healers, without this powder most of the formulations are incomplete. Externally, in combination with Cow urine and Kali Mitti (Black soil), the caterpillar powder is used externally in treatment of Daad (Ring worm). It is applied on affected parts in form of aqueous paste. As other promising alternatives are available to manage the Daad effectively, the healers use this combination less commonly. From documentation point of view it is an important information. The healers are not aware of its other traditional medicinal uses.

The above mentioned traditional medicinal uses have yet not been reported in reference literatures. I am feeling fortunate to document this important traditional medicinal knowledge.

New comments added on May, 2014

Through recent surveys I have collected information about over 5000 Formulations in which Lyncestis is added as important ingredient. In Sphaeranthus based Formulations for Leucorrhea it is added as secondary ingredient. These Formulations are popular among the Traditional Healers of Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh. In Curculigo based Formulations for patients recovering from exhaustive diseases it is added as tertiary ingredient. These Formulations are used with much care. In Tectona based Formulations for Bone diseases Lyncestis is added as denary ingredient. According to the Healers Lyncestis plays key role in these Formulations. In Medicinal Rice Jhiya based Formulations of Bastar it is added as quinary ingredient. These Formulations are used for treatment of gynecological diseases. In treatment of Migraine the Healers of North Chhattisgarh use Xanthium and Chenopodium based Formulations. In these Formulations Lyncestis is added as nonary ingredient.  In Prem Phool based Formulations of Gandhamardan Hills it is added as secondary, tertiary and quinary ingredients. These Formulations are used in treatment of diseases of male genitalia. In Cypridium based Formulations of Jharkhand it is added as septenary ingredient. These Formulations are used in treatment of Piles. In Cypridium based Formulations of Bastar it is added as senary ingredient. These Formulations are used at early stages of Sickle Cell Anemia. In Nervilia based Formulations of West Bengal it is added as octonary ingredient. These Formulations are used in treatment of Rheumatism.
