Yes.\n\nAmong the natural compounds screened from diverse edible plants in Thailand and other countries in south-eastern Asia for antitumor properties, 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA), obtained from rhizomes of the commonly used ethno-medicinal plant Languas galanga (Zingiberaceae), potently inhibits tumor promoter-induced Epstein–Barr virus activation (1). It inhibits xanthine oxidase (2), the enzyme that catalyses the hydroxylation of purine species to yield superoxide ions, and occurs in large amounts in certain brain tumors. . . . . These mechanisms may contribute, at least in part, to its potential use as an anticancer drug. \n\nThe polyamines (putrescine, spermidine and spermine) are indispensable for proliferation and differentiation of cells. . . . . These biochemical and physiological modifications can eventually control vital cell events such as apoptosis (18–23). Polyamines may be involved in the onset of DNA degradation, as spermidine and spermine stabilize chromatin- and polyamine-depleted cells in which chromatin and DNA structural changes occur (23,24). \n\n[20] Dypbukt,J.M., Ankarcrona,M., Sjoholm,A., Strom,K., Orrenius,S. and Nicotera,P.

Pongal - The four day harvest festival of Tamil Nadu\n\nPongal is the first festival beginning off each new year in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. As the dates for this festival are calculated by the solar calander (ie. Western), the dates of January 13-16 never change. Each day of this festival has a special significance, however, it is celebrated more grandly in the villages, while the city folk mainly celebrate on the second day only.\n\n The first day of the festival is called Bhogi. On Bhogi all people clean out their homes from top to bottom, and collect all unwanted goods. In the evening, people will light bonfires and burn what can be burnt. In the village where I celebrated Pongal, the people lived in mud huts with thatched roves. The porches of these homes was fully covered by the thatch material, but somewhat elevated from the ground. This part of the home was taken apart and reconstructed on this day along with the front section of the walkway in front of their home (pictured to the left). Both the porch and ground in front of their home was solid mud which had dried. So, to undo this, they put in water to soften it, and dug it out and rebuilt it. After rebuilding it, they took cow dung and added water to make a paste and spread this mixture evenly over the new fixtures to coat and sanitize them. This mixture was also spread on the floor of the hut, on which we slept at night. As they don't have beds, we slept on the floor of the mud hut with a mat between our bodies and the floor. Although, the mixture had been spread on the floor, it did not at all smell fowl in any way. In addition, the family I stayed with installed a new ceiling fan for Pongal.\n\n\nPutting Kolum\n \n\nPreparing the stove for cooking. \nThe second day of the festival, Surya Pongal, is the day on which the celebrations actually begins, is the first day of the Tamil month Thai. On this day, Surya, the sun God is worshipped and women will wake early on this day to create elaborate kolum on the grounds in front of their doorway or home. Kolums are created with colored rice flour placed on the ground carefully by using one's hand. The picture shown to the right shows the beginnings of this. The women in the picture took several hours to finish that kolum. All people will wear their new dresses and use the new utensils or household items which replace the ones discarded the previous day. On this day the new rice is collected and cooked in pots until they over flow. It is this overflowing which means Pongal. This overflowing of rice is a joyous occasion, and the children and adults as well will shout out 'Pongal-o Pongal!' Children will dance and make music to the tune of these words. As far as I know, the words have no real meaning but an expression of happiness that the new harvest is here and we should enjoy it! The rice is cooked and prepared as a dish called Pongal, which is rice with dhal and sugar. This Pongal variety is called venpongal, ven meaning white. Another variety is also prepared with dhal and jaggery (sweet), called chakra1pongal, chakrai meaning sweet. To accompany the venpongal, people eat brinjal (eggplant) sambar (stew), vadai, idli, and spicy accompaniments. This is one of my favorite meals!! \n\n\nChildren wearing new clothes.\n \n\nView from top of temple steps.\n \nThe third day is called Maatu Pongal, maatu meaning cattle. This day is devoted to paying homage to cattle. Cows and Bulls are decorated with paint and bells and people pray to them. In fact, in my Pongal experience, the cattle were decorated with bells on their neck, and kum kum placed on their head, and we (My friend, her family and I.) paid respect to them by bending down, like praying in temple, and touching their feet and foreheads, followed by an aarthi (showing fire to the object of praise) and offering the cattle prasadam (food offering, in this case, pongal).. In some villages in south India, there are bull fights of varying types. These

I'm not sure I understand your question.  Are you looking for the native plants which are the source of synthesized pharmaceuticals?  Are you looking for natural remedies, as opposed to pharmaceuticals?\n\nMaybe you want to know if certain plants are effective as medication?  Or perhaps you want to know where to get tinctures or other natural plant remedies.
