Abstract

Five species of Epipactis, two Eria and eight Asian species of Eulophia are employed in herbal medicine. Epipactis is used as a tonic in China whereas in India extract of E. papillosa is administered to the insane. Lectins in E. helleborine possess antiviral activity against cytomegalovirus (CMV), influenza A and respiratory syncytial viruses. Medicinal usage of Eulophia is varied. Eulophia spectabilis which enjoys a wide distribution is used to treat worms, boils, abscesses, chest infections, snake bites, anorexia, pain and bleeding from trauma in various countries. In India, it is also an aphrodisiac. Phenanthrenes, alkaloids, saponins, cardiac glycosides, sterols and flavoids are present in the species. Several medicinal species of Eria are now assigned to Calliostylis, Conchidium, Mycaranthes and Pinalia. Some species have been examined for the presence of phytochemicals.. Phenanthrenes and stilbenoids are present in Eria and related genera. Nicobar islanders employ Eria bractescens to treat fever, malaria, body ache and chest pain.
