  • Ipecacuanha (Psychotria ipecacuanha) of family Rubiaceae is a flowering plant, the root of which is most commonly used to make syrup of ipecac, a powerful emetic. Its name comes from the Tupi i-pe-kaa-guéne, translated as 'road-side sick-making plant'. It is native to Brazil. The plant had been assigned different names by various botanists; several scientific names including Cephaelis acuminata, Cephaelis ipecacuanha, Psychotria ipecacuanha, and Uragoga ipecacuanha were used.
  • Cephaelis Ipecacuanha is a small shrubby plant, with a slender root from four to six inches long, marked with annular rugae, simple or somewhat branched, descending obliquely into the ground, and here and there sending forth slender fibrils. The stem is two or three feet long, but, being partly under ground, and often procumbent at the base, usually rises less than a foot in height.
  • Ipecac syrup is commonly used as a remedy for poisoning, taken following ingestion of toxic but noncaustic substances. In most people, ingestion of adequate amounts leads to vomiting within 30 minutes. Ipecac’s major constituents are the alkaloids emetine and cephaline.
  • A recent study indicates that the herbal drug market continues to grow at the rate of 15% annually. As per the estimates of the World Health Organization (WHO), the global market of the medicinal herbs and herbal products is about 62 billion US$ and will hit the market by the year 2005 at the level of 5 trillion US$. India is exporting herbal materials and medicines to the tune of Rs. 550 crores. China besides meeting its domestic demands, is earning US$ 5 billion per year from herbal trade. India and China are two great producers of medicinal plants and has capabilities to earn by export of herbs and herbal products of Rs. 5000 crores.
  • Several hundred genera are used in herbal remedies and in traditional or folklore medicines throughout the world. As per one estimate 35-70,000 species have been used in some culture for medicinal purposes. They are used in the form of crude drugs which are dried parts of the medicinal plants (root, stem, wood, bark, leaves, flowers, fruits seeds and in some cases whole plants) or their extracts. The species used for isolation of active ingredients may be indigenous species growing wild or cultivated, or hybrids or other cultivated varieties that have been bred for a particular characteristic.
