The medicinal potential of Meghalaya’s carnivorous pitcher plant, Nepenthes khasiana, which has the ability to trap insects, is examined in a paper that was published in the Intelligent Pharmacy Journal in 2024. According to the study, the plant has bioactive chemicals that can be utilized to cure illnesses and combat coronaviruses, including 22 in its unopened pitcher fluids.
Focusing on the fluid from its closed pitchers, a preferred resource of traditional healers, researchers from the University of Science and Technology of Meghalaya, Cotton University, and NIPER Guwahati have confirmed the therapeutic efficacy of Nepenthes khasiana, a traditional remedy used for centuries by the Khasi, Garo, and Jaintia tribes in Meghalaya.
