WIKIPEDIA:
Celastrus paniculatus is a woody liana commonly known as black oil plant, climbing staff tree, and intellect tree (Sanskrit: jyotishmati ज्योतीष्मती, Hindi: Mal-kangani माल-कांगनी, Chinese: deng you teng 灯油藤). The plant grows throughout India at elevations up to 1800 m. Oil from the seeds is used as a traditional medicine in Indian Unani and Ayurvedic medicine.
C. paniculatus is a deciduous vine with stems up to 10 centimeters in diameter and 6 meters long with rough, pale brown exfoliating bark covered densely with small, elongated lenticles. The leaves are simple, broad, and oval, obovate or elliptic in shape, with toothed margins.
C. paniculatus is a climbing shrub found throughout India.
Potential pharmacology
The seeds contain fatty acids and alkaloids, and have sedative and antidepressant actions.[medical citation needed] In Ayurvedic medicine, the seeds are used to sharpen the memory and the seed oil is used as a tonic for memory loss.[citation needed] These activities may be due to its neuroprotective actions.[6][full citation needed] A study in rats suggested that the aqueous extract of C. paniculatus seed has dose-dependent cholinergic activity, thereby improving rodent memory performance.
US Relative
