CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

  • Background of the Study

Phyllanthus amarus (P. amarus) is a broad spectrum mechanical plant that has received world-word recognition (Srividiya and pervalslaas).  In Nigeria, it is called “Oyomokeisoamankedem” in Efik, “Iyin Olobe” in Yoruba and “Ebebenizo” in Bini (Etta, 2008). P. amarus is generally employed to reduce pain, expel intestine gas, to stimulate and promote digestion, as anti-helminthes to expel intestinal worms and act as a mild laxative. P. amarus also has antiseptic, diaretic, antiral, anti-diabetic, hypertensive and anti pyretic properties, and is also used in the treatment  of jaundice, diarrhea, dysentery, wound, ulcers and urogenital disease (Calixto et al., 1998).

The plants of the genus Phyllanthus are widely distributed in most typical and subtropical countries and have long been used in traditional medicine to treat chronic liver disease (Liu et al., 2003). Phyllanthus amarus is an ethnobotanical plant that grows well in most, shady and sunny places. It is known by several other name as carry-me-seed, chanca piedra and quinine weed to mention but a few (Adedapo et al., 2005).

  • Aims and Objectives of the Study

The aims of this work is to determine the macro-element composition in Phyllantus amarus leaves. The objective of the study are;

  • To determine the calcium level of Phyllanthus amarus leaves
  • To determine the sodium level of Phyllanthus amarus leaves
  • To determine the potassium level of Phyllanthus amarus leaves
  • To determine the magnesium level of Phyllanthus amarus leaves

    HERE IS WHAT OUR HAPPY CLIENTS ARE SAYING

        

    I actually googled and saw about projectmaster.com.ng, copied the number and contacted them through WhatsApp to ask for the availability of the material and to my luck they have it. So there was a delay with the project due to the covid19 pandemic. I was really scared before making the payment cause I’ve been scammed twice, they attended so well to me and that made me trust the process and made the payment and provided them with proof, I got my material in less than 10minutes.

        

    I received excellent customer support, and quickly. Thank you so much!

        

    I love your service! I would recommend projectmaster.com.ng to anyone. What a great find!

        

    I am aware of online scam but because of the hectic nature of writing project, I decided to try sourcing for help online and to my surprise, projectmaster.com.ng gave complete project in less than 5 minutes. I could not believe it sincerely. Thank you so much guys.
