| Abstract: | From time immemorial
the people of Manipur use Yu for
medicine, relaxant and offerings. It is a distilled product of the fermented
local rice. The technology of the preparation of Yu is a traditional one and the product is a source of income
generation to the poorer sections of people. The technology is amenable for
upgradation in a scientific way. Yu
is a strong solvent for many important active constituents of medicinal plants,
whose actions play a potent role in the traditional medicine. The paper deals
with the uses of 12 plant species belonging to 12 families, their mode of
action and applications collected from traditional healers. |
