This journal emphasizes studies that explore science education and research from different perspectives. The journal publishes articles that emphasize understanding of the science underlying modern technology and provides the most rapid turn-around time possible for reviewing and publishing and to disseminate the articles freely for research, teaching, and reference purposes. IJIHDallows free unlimited access to abstracts and full-text. Indigenous herbs and drugs refer to all kinds of research performed on plants that are specific to a particular geographic location or locality. We define Open Access-journals as journals that use a funding model that does not charge readers. The journal publishes Research articles, Review articles, Case studies, and Short communication from broad areas like medicine like (any branches of) Ayurveda, Siddha, Homeopathy, Unani, Tibbi, Chinese, Folk medicine, Ethno-medicine, and all other existing classical systems worldwide and Pharmaceutical Sciences(Any branch).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Why Publish with IJIHD</strong></p> <ul> <li class="show">Author retains copyright</li> <li class="show">Prompt Email Notification</li> <li class="show">Originality and Innovation</li> <li class="show">Effective Editorial Standards</li> <li class="show">Excellent Peer Review Process</li> <li class="show">Check manuscript status online</li> <li class="show">International Quality and Standards</li> <li class="show">Fast and efficient online submission</li> <li class="show">Indexed in many International and national databases</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Article Submission:</strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">&nbsp;Authors can</span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">&nbsp;</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Register and submit their documents by clicking online submission in the topmost menu bar.

Nowadays, interactions with urban green infrastructure largely define people’s encounters with nature within cities.Black-eyed Susan (<em>Rudbeckia hirta</em>&nbsp;L.), a flowering plant with various traditional medicinal uses, has recently garnered interest for its therapeutic properties. However, little is known about the potential therapeutic activities of the plant species.<em>Rudbeckia</em>, a genus within the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/asteraceae">Asteraceae</a>&nbsp;family, is native to North America.&nbsp;This review aims to examine the literature on the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/ethnobotany">ethnobotany</a>, chemical composition, and bioactivity to date on this genus to provide a basis for future exploration into its medicinal potential<em>.</em>The species has several chemical constituents that are thought to contribute to its potential bioactive properties. These include flavonoids with anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial activities, such as quercetin and its glycosides, kaempferol and quercetagetin derivatives, patuletin and eupatolin. Several polyphenolic acids, such as caffeic and chlorogenic acids, are also known to be present in the plant. Other chemical constituents of <em>R. hirta</em> include terpenes, which are thought to be responsible for the plant’s distinctive taste and smell and its antibacterial properties. Further studies on this plant must be carried out to explore some other important, necessary, and unknown benefits.</p> Akshaya Reddy Narra Naresh Sabavath Narender Boggula Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2026-02-10 2026-02-10 1 6 10.46956/ijihd.v11i1.804
