Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. leaves have been ethnomedicinally used by the people of Assam for getting rid of Pediculosis capitis (lice infestations) since time immemorial. Pediculosis capitis is a widely occurring and highly transferable condition affecting millions worldwide. Both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches are utilized to get rid of this condition, but with the advent of lice becoming resistant to most chemical anti-lice agents, researchers are turning towards herbal alternatives. This current study is devoted to establish the potential present in Brassica juncea against this parasite and to use it when currently prevalent pediculocides fails to combat the parasite. In addition to this, a laboratory-based shampoo is formulated to provide an aesthetic, reliable, safe and patient friendly medium to deliver the agent. Lastly both the extract and the medicated shampoo are tested on lice following a definite protocol and the results are compared to that of a marketed formulation.

含有芥菜 (L.) Czern 的草本抗虱子洗发水的设计和评价。

芥菜 (L.) Czern。自远古以来，阿萨姆邦的人们就将叶子用于民族医学，以消除头虱病（虱子感染）。头虱病是一种广泛发生且高度可转移的疾病，影响着全世界数百万人。药理学和非药理学方法都被用来消除这种情况，但随着虱子对大多数化学抗虱剂产生耐药性，研究人员正在转向草药替代品。目前的这项研究致力于确定芥菜中存在的针对这种寄生虫的潜力，并在目前流行的杀虱剂无法对抗这种寄生虫时使用它。除此之外，还配制了一种基于实验室的洗发水，以提供一种美观、可靠、安全且对患者友好的介质来输送药剂。
