I shot this barefeet and this shot I took from the 42 seat jumbo bus and you can see the 5 people with hooks in the back including Shanmugham and Sundar .. they pull the bus from Worli Seaface to Madraswadi Worli.
It was very dark past 7 pm when the piercings inserting of the hooks in the back started at Worli Seaface .
I was very tired almost fainted once so I did not follow the procession till the Madraswadi Marriammen Temple where the hooks from the back and the rods from the mouth are removed.
I am also grateful to Shanmugham and Sundar for putting my picture on their feast banner .. photography by Firoze Shakir ,, I was deeply touched by their gesture , all these bus pulling pictures I shot on my Motorola G mobile phone ,,

"Geranium robertianum, commonly known as herb-Robert,[1] or (in North America) Roberts geranium, is a common species of cranesbill native to Europe and parts of Asia, North Africa, and parts of North America.[2] The plant has many vernacular names, including red robin, death come quickly, fox geranium, stinking Bob, squinter-pip (Shropshire) and crow's foot.
Description
It grows as a procumbent (prostrate or trailing) to erect annual or biennial plant, up to fifty centimetres high, producing small, pink, five-petalled flowers (8–14 mm in diameter)[3] from April until the autumn. The leaves are deeply dissected, ternate to palmate,[3][4]: 174 the stems reddish and prominently hairy; where it grows in sunny sites, the leaves also turn crimson red at the end of the flowering season.[5]
Distribution and habitat
Its main areas of distribution are Europe from the north Mediterranean coast to the Baltic, from the British Isles in the west to the Caucasus in the east, and eastern North America.[6] It is not native to western North America, where it has escaped from cultivation and is regarded as an invasive species.[7] Geranium robertianum is common throughout Great Britain and Ireland in woodland, hedgerows, scree and maritime shingle.[3] It grows at altitudes from sea level to 710 metres (2,329 ft) in Teesdale, England and above 2,100 metres (6,890 ft) in parts of mainland Europe on calcareous alpine screes.[8]
Uses
Herb Robert has been used in the folk medicine of several countries, including as a treatment for diarrhea, to improve functioning of the liver and gallbladder,[9] for toothache and nosebleeds,[10] and as a vulnerary (used for or useful in healing wounds).[11] Its common name has several possible sources: the Latin word for red, ruber; Shakespearean character Robin Goodfellow, the mischievous hobgoblin in A Midsummer Night's Dream; an early duke of Normandy named Robert who is rumored to have commissioned the Regimen sanitatis Salernitanum; or abbot and herbalist Robert of Molesme.[12][13] Freshly picked leaves have an odor resembling burning tires when crushed, and if they are rubbed on the body the smell is said to repel mosquitoes.[11]
Chemical constituents include tannins, a bitter compound called geraniin, and essential oils.[14]"

One of the few wild flowers around at this time of year.
Red Clover is a perennial herb, origin believed to be Britain where it is abundant, now a world wide escape, naturalised in nearly every country, even the Arctic Circle and high up into mountains. The long root is rhizome, and sends out runners, producing several stems 1 to 2 feet high, slightly hairy; leaves ternate, leaflets ovate, slightly toothed, ending in long point often lighter coloured V shape in centre, flowers red to purple, fragrant, in dense terminal ovoid or round heads.
In folk magic Red Clover is used in a ritual bath to attract money and prosperity to the bather and is also used as a floor wash to chase out evil and unwanted ghosts. The four-leaf clover is believed to protect from evil spirits, witches, disease and the evil eye. This familiar childhood rhyme for a four-leaf clover actually originates from the Middle Ages:
One leaf for fame, one leaf for wealth,
One for a faithful lover,
And one leaf to bring glorious health,
Are all in a four-leaf clover
The four-leaf clover was said to enable its wearer to ward off evil and witches, to see fairies and various spirits, to heal illnesses, to have good fortune, and to escape military service. The five-leaf clover was said to be unlucky and the two-leaf clover was to enable a maid to see her future lover. With its three leaves, Clover is a very shamanic plant allowing one to see into and interact with the Other World. It is a good talisman for protection and power for travelling out of body and walking between worlds.
The flowers were a popular anti-cancer remedy as late as the 1930's especially for cancer of the breasts and ovaries and this is a cancer cure from the hills of Tennessee: "Place two to three teaspoons of red clover blossom in one cup of boiling water, steep mixture until a tea is formed. Drink one cup a day."
Considered also an excellent remedy for children with skin problems, it was also thought to be of particular benefit for children with eczema and asthma. It is also held to be of value in other chronic skin conditions such as psoriasis.
The expectorant and antispasmodic actions of Red Clover made it a traditional treatment of coughs and bronchitis and particularly in whooping cough, while a syrup made from the infusion of Red Clover was used to relieve stubborn, dry coughs.
The fresh, crushed flowers can be applied to bites and stings. According to the Doctrine of Signatures, the white crescent markings on the leaflets of red clover were seen as a sign that the plant could be of benefit in the treatment of cataracts while a tincture of Red Clover in water may be used as an eyewash for conjunctivitis.
Clovers are rich in nutrients and vitamins and the leaves and flowers can be added to salads or used as garnish. Use the new green leaves when eating them raw, but you can also add the tougher older leaves to sautéed or steamed greens like spinach and kale. You can even add the leaves into stir fries, soups, and pasta sauces, but add them last and just cook until wilted to retain the nutrients. Even the roots can be eaten when cooked. You can batter and fry Clover flowers just like Elder flowers. The flowers of both types of clover can be used to make homemade wines. Red Clover flowers are steeped to make a popular tea which, although drunk for pleasure, can be used to treat liver and gallbladder issues, stomach and digestive issues, as well as for women’s menstrual and fertility issues. A popular jelly was made from the red blooms.
The whole plant is used as a medicinal herb internally and externally.
External Uses
The fresh juice of Dandelion is applied externally to fight bacteria and help heal wounds. The plant has an antibacterial action, inhibiting the growth of Staphococcus aureus, pneumococci, meningococci, Bacillus dysenteriae, B. typhi, C. diphtheriae, proteus. The latex contained in the plant sap can be used to remove corns and warts.
Internal Uses
Dandelion is also used for the treatment of the gall bladder, kidney and urinary disorders, gallstones, jaundice, cirrhosis, hypoglycemia, dyspepsia with constipation, edema associated with high blood pressure and heart weakness, chronic joint and skin complaints, gout, eczema and acne. As a tonic, Dandelion strengthens the kidneys. An infusion of the root encourages the steady elimination of toxins from the body. Dandelion is a powerful diuretic but does not deplete the body of potassium.
Research is revealing that the many constituents of Dandelion including Taraxacin, Taraxacoside, Inulin, Phenolic acids, Sesquiterpene lactones, Triterpenes, Coumarins, Catortenoids and Minerals, mainly Potassium and calcium, are very valuable in curing a number of disorders and illnesses. Dandelion is traditionally used as a tonic and blood purifier, for constipation, inflammatory skin conditions, joint pain, eczema and liver dysfunction, including liver conditions such as hepatitis and jaundice.
Other Uses
Dandelions can be beneficial to a garden ecosystem as well as to human health.
When placed in a paper bag with unripe fruit, the flowers and leaves of Dandelion release ethylene gas ripening the fruit quickly. A liquid plant food is made from the root and leaves. A dark red dye is obtained from Dandelion root. A cosmetic skin lotion made from the appendages at the base of the leaf blades distilled in water, is used to clear the skin and is effective in fading freckles.
Dandelion Habitat and Description
Dandelion is a perennial herb thought to be introduced from Europe and Asia. It is now naturalized throughout the Northern Hemisphere. No one is sure exactly how the dandelion has spread so widely, and there is some debate on the origin of the plant.
Dandelion is found growing in pastures, lawns, waste ground, sand, rocks, even cracks in concrete. From a thick, long, tap root, dark brown outside, white and milky white inside, grow long jaggedly toothed leaves, shiny, dark to light green and growing in the shape of a rosette close to the ground. A purplish flower-stalks rise straight from the center, it is leafless, smooth, hollow and bears a single bright golden yellow, furry looking flower which blooms almost anytime of the year. When mature the seed in the flowers heads are round and fuzzy, carried by the wind to be germinated where ever they land.
How to Grow Dandelion
Dandelion is a very easily grown plant, it succeeds in most soils. It becomes quite large when cultivation, the leaves reaching a foot or more in length. Dandelion is often cultivated as an edible salad crop and as a medicinal herb plant.
History and Folklore
In Derbyshire, the juice of the Dandelion stalk is applied to remove warts.
Harvest and Use Information
Gather edible leaves and flowers anytime, roots in spring. Dry for later medicinal herb use.
Dandelion Recipes
Used as medicinal and edible, the Dandelion is very nutritious, having more vitamins and minerals than most vegetables, it has a long history of use as a food in many countries. The young leaves are less bitter, and flowers are eaten raw in salads, all leaves also cooked or boiled as a pot herb, flowers are often dipped in batter and fried, dried roots are used as a coffee substitute. Herbal Wine is made from fermented flowers said by some to be very flavorful and medicinal.
Dandelion Herbal Tea: 2 oz. of the dried herb or root in 1 quart of water, boiled for 30 min. take in ½ cup doses every 3 hours for stomach, kidney, gallbladder, and liver problems. Used as spring tonic.

Tylopilus felleus, formerly Boletus felleus, is a fungus of the bolete family, found in Northern Europe and North America. Although it is not poisonous, it is not considered edible, due to its bitterness.
Der Gallenröhrling (Tylopilus felleus) ist ein ungenießbarer Pilz aus der Familie der Röhrlinge (Boletaceae), der aufgrund seines extrem bitteren Geschmacks auch Bitterling genannt wird.
Der Gallenröhrling ist ungenießbar, allgemein aber stets ungiftig. Bei Empfindlichkeit sind Magen- und Darmbeschwerden jedoch nicht auszuschließen. Schon ein einziger Pilz kann wegen seiner Bitterkeit eine komplette Mahlzeit völlig verderben. Es wird aber vermehrt von milden und eßbaren Sorten des Gallenröhrlings berichtet.
This gallbladder stone is a type of foreign body formed in the gallbladder lumen in which layers of substances produced by the liver and stored and concentrated in the gallbladder are gradually deposited, first forming a nucleus of bilirubin (black color), then cholesterol crystals (yellow color) and later a cover of calcium carbonate (gray color). The stone has been hemisected to visualize its interior.
This was a fine, gauze-like material, separate from the gallbladder specimen, but received in the same container.
Oxidized regenerated cellulose (Surgicel®, Surgicel Absorbable Hemostat®, Spofax®, Stop Bleed® & others) is a hemostatic agent used in surgical procedures. Derived from plant material that undergoes oxidization. It's available in a variety of forms, including mesh, gauze, fibrillar tufts, powder, and sponges; all are absorbable. Foreign body reactions can occur if significant amounts are left in the wound.

This is a gallbladder from a patient who had trans-arterial radioembolization of a liver neoplasm. Some of the radioactive yttrium beads got into the gallbladder and resulted in infarction.
Radioembolization is currently used to treat primary liver cancer (HCC) and liver metastases of colorectal carcinoma. The treatment involves injecting tiny microspheres with low levels of radioactive material into the arteries that supply the tumor.
Millions of 30-micron beads are infused through a catheter into the hepatic artery and become embedded in the liver. The beads are bonded with yttrium-90 (Y-90). Y-90 is a beta-emitting radionuclide that acts locally at the tumor site. The beta particles travel 11 mm, at most, due to their relatively low energy. This allows the beads to embed into and irradiate the tumor while healthy liver tissue is spared.

This species of tree is important not only for wildlife habitat but its parts such as, the nectar of its flowers, are also for insect consumption as well as other parts are for medicinal purposes. Tilia americana is a species of Tilia, native to eastern North America, from southeast Manitoba east to New Brunswick, southwest to northeast Texas, and southeast to South Carolina, and west along the Niobrara River to Cherry County, Nebraska. Common names include Basswood (also applied to other species of Tilia in the timber trade) and American Linden or the Lime-Tree.
It is a medium-sized to large deciduous tree reaching a height of 60 to 120 ft (exceptionally 129 ft) with a trunk diameter of 3-4 ft at maturity. The crown is domed, the branches spreading, often pendulous. The bark is gray to light brown, with narrow, well defined fissures. The roots are large, deep, and spreading. The twigs are smooth, reddish-green, becoming light gray in their second year, finally dark brown or brownish gray, marked with dark wart-like excrescences. The winter buds are stout, ovate-acute, smooth, deep red, with two bud scales visible. The leaves are simple, alternately arranged, ovate to cordate, inequalateral at the base (the side nearest the branch the largest), 10-15 cm (can grow up to 25 cm) long and broad, with a long, slender petiole, a coarsely serrated margin and an acuminate apex. They open from the bud conduplicate, pale green, downy; when full grown are dark green, smooth, shining above, paler beneath, with tufts of rusty brown hairs in the axils of the primary veins; the small stipules fall soon after leaf opening. The fall color is yellow-green to yellow. Both the twigs and leaves contain mucilaginous sap. The flowers are small, fragrant, yellowish-white, 10–14 mm diameter, arranged in drooping, cymose clusters of 6–20 with a whitish-green leaf-like bract attached for half its length at the base of the cyme; they are perfect, regular, with five sepals and petals, numerous stamens, and a five-celled superior ovary. Flowering is in early to mid summer; pollination is by bees. The fruit is a small, globose, downy, hard and dry cream-colored nutlet with a diameter of 8-10 mm.
This species is dominant in the Acer saccharum - Tilia americana association, most common in western Wisconsin and central Minnesota, but occurs as far east as New England and southern Quebec where the soils are mesic with relatively high pH. It also has minor occurrence in many other forest cover types.
Its flowers provide abundant nectar for insects. The seeds are eaten by chipmunks, mice and squirrels. Rabbits and voles eat the bark, sometimes girdling young trees. This species is particularly susceptible to adult Japanese beetles (an invasive species in the species' range) feeding on its leaves. In addition, the leaves serve as food for caterpillars of various Lepidoptera (see Lepidoptera which feed on Tilia). The ribbed cocoon maker species Bucculatrix improvisa has not been found on other plants.
It is recommended as an ornamental tree when the mass of foliage or a deep shade is desired; no native tree surpasses it in this respect. It is often planted on the windward side of an orchard as a protection to young and delicate trees. It is cultivated at least as far north as Juneau, Alaska.
The foliage and flowers are both edible, though many prefer only to eat the tender young leaves. It is a beneficial species for attracting pollinators as well.
Cultivars include 'Nova', 'Duros' (with an upright crown), and the conic-crowned 'Redmond'.
Although Tilia cordata is believed to be stronger, T. americana is also used medicinally. The dried flowers are mildly sweet and sticky, and the fruit is somewhat sweet and mucilaginous. Linden tea has a pleasing taste, due to the aromatic volatile oil found in the flowers. The flowers, leaves, wood, and charcoal (obtained from the wood) are used for medicinal purposes. Active ingredients in the linden flowers include flavonoids (which act as antioxidants), volatile oils, and mucilaginous constituents (which soothe and reduce inflammation). The plant also contains tannins that can act as an astringent.
Linden flowers are used in colds, cough, fever, infections, inflammation, high blood pressure, headache (particularly migraine), as a diuretic (increases urine production), antispasmodic (reduces smooth muscle spasm along the digestive tract), and sedative. The flowers were added to baths to quell hysteria, and steeped as a tea to relieve anxiety-related indigestion, irregular heartbeat, and vomiting. The leaves are used to promote sweating to reduce fevers. The wood is used for liver and gallbladder disorders and cellulitis (inflammation of the skin and surrounding soft tissue). That wood burned to charcoal is ingested to treat intestinal disorders and used topically to treat edema or infection, such as cellulitis or ulcers of the lower leg.

Paroi de la vésicule biliaire du gardon. L’histologie de cette paroi consiste généralement en un épithélium prismatique simple (1) soutenu par une lamina propria ou chorion (2) fibrovasculaire. Chez ce Cyprinidé apprécié des pêcheurs, les cellules épithéliales sont particulièrement hautes et étroites, et possèdent des noyaux (noirs) allongés localisés dans la moitié basale du cytoplasme. Dans les portions apicales, on peut discerner de discrètes vésicules de mucus (brun rouge - cercles verts). Ces cellules épithéliales permettent de concentrer la bile provenant du foie, grâce à la réabsorption d’eau depuis la lumière de la vésicule vers les capillaires sanguins (3) du tissu conjonctif.

Gall bladder of the roach. The histology of the gall bladder wall consists of a simple columnar epithelium (1) supported by an underlying fibrovascular lamina propria (2). In this species very appreciated by fishermen, the epithelial cells are very tall and narrow, and possess elongated nuclei (black) usually basally located. One can also see many mucous vesicles (red brown - green circles) that are secreted and aggregate in the apical cytoplasm. These lining cells concentrate bile, water of the lumen being passed into the blood capillaries (3) of the connective tissue.

by Andy Warhol
Acrylic paint and screenprint on canvas
Faith, death and desire come together in Warhol’s Sixty Last Suppers. This large-scale work forms part of a series commissioned in 1986 based on Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper. This famous mural depicts Jesus the night before his crucifixion with the twelve disciples. A copy of the mural had hung in the Warhola family kitchen.
Da Vinci’s depiction has been damaged and repaired many times over the centuries. Warhol purposely used a cheap reproduction based on a 19th-century copy for his work. Choosing to copy a copy of the original, Warhol evokes the re-enactment of the Last Supper that takes place during every Mass. It also plays on the authenticity of da Vinci’s Last Supper, with Warhol stating: ‘It’s a good picture... It’s something you see all the time. You don’t think about it.’
Unlike most of his paintings, Warhol’s Last Supper series focuses on a group scene. The repetition of an image showing collective activity between men adds to the work’s symbolism. It was created soon after the death of Warhol’s former partner Jon Gould from an AIDS-related illness, and at a time when the private lives of gay men were facing the glare of the media. While Warhol was not a queer activist, Sixty Last Suppers could be seen as a moving portrayal of endless loss, reminiscent of ‘columbarium’, the wall graves found in many cemeteries.
Sixty Last Suppers would turn out to be one of Warhol’s final works. After the first exhibition of the series in Milan, he returned to New York where he reluctantly checked in to hospital for gallbladder surgery. While the operation was a success, his long-term ill health led to his heart failing, and Warhol died on 22 February 1987, aged 58.

Andy Warhol
(March – November 2020)
A new look at the extraordinary life and work of the pop art superstar
Andy Warhol was the son of immigrants who became an American icon. A shy gay man who became the hub of New York’s social scene. An artist who embraced consumerism, celebrity and the counter culture – and changed modern art in the process.
He was born in 1928 as Andrew Warhola to working-class parents from present day Slovakia. In 1949 he moved from Pittsburgh to New York. Initially working as a commercial illustrator, his skill at transforming the imagery of American culture soon found its realisation in his ground-breaking pop art.
This major retrospective is the first Warhol exhibition at Tate Modern for almost 20 years. As well as his iconic pop images of Marilyn Monroe, Coca-Cola and Campbell’s soup cans, it includes works never seen before in the UK. Twenty-five works from his Ladies and Gentlemen series – portraits of black and Latinx drag queens and trans women – are shown for the first time in 30 years.
Popularly radical and radically popular, Warhol was an artist who reimagined what art could be in an age of immense social, political and technological change.
[Tate Modern]
Chelidonium majus, commonly known as the greater celandine is the only species in the genus Chelidonium, family Papaveraceae. Greater celandine has an erect habit, and may reach 30 to 120 cm high. The leaves are deeply divided, 30-cm long, and crenate. The sap is bright opaque yellow. The flowers comprise four yellow petals, each about 1 cm long, with two sepals. The flowers appear from May to July. The seeds are small and black, and possess an elaiosome, which attracts ants to disperse the seeds (myrmecochory).
The whole plant is toxic in moderate doses as it contains a range of isoquinoline alkaloids but there are numerous therapeutic uses when used at the correct dosage.[1] The main alkaloid present in the herb and root is coptisine. Other alkaloids present include berberine, chelidonine, sanguinarine and chelerythrine. Sanguinarine is particularly toxic with a lethal dose of only 18 mg per kg body weight. Despite this acute toxicity, sanguinarine is present in such small quantities that the LD50 dose would require >50g of raw herb to be ingested. Caffeic acid derivatives are also present.
The effect of the fresh herb is of a mild analgesic, cholagogic, antimicrobial, oncostatic and central nervous system sedative. In animal tests, celandine is shown to be cytostatic. An immune stimulating effect has also been noted. Some studies show that the alkaloid extraction can have the same effects. The alkaloids are known to cause immobilization in mice after been taken orally or injected. The alkaloids cause limpness and tone reduction of smooth muscle in rabbits. The alkaloids are also noted to stimulate the heart and lungs of frogs, cats and dogs, raising the blood pressure and widening the arteries.
The latex could be employed as a caustic for healing small open wounds. Early studies of celandine showed that it causes contact dermatitis and eye irritation, particularly from contact with the red to yellow latex. This effect has not been observed in animal studies; the latex can leave a non-permanent stain. Stains on skin of the fingers are sometimes reported to cause eye irritation after rubbing the eyes or handling contact lenses. When any part of the plant causes eye irritation, wash it out with clear water and when needed seek medical help. The latex is also known to stain clothes. The stem contains a bright orange sap,which is poisonous.
The aerial parts and roots of greater celandine are used in herbalism. The above-ground parts are gathered during the flowering season and dried at high temperatures. The root is harvested in autumn between August and October and dried. The fresh rhizome is also used. Celandine has a hot and bitter taste. The latex has a narcotic fragrance.
Preparations are made from alcoholic and hot aqueous extractions (tea). The average daily dosage is 2 to 4 g, equivalent to 12 to 13 mg total alkaloids. For fluid extracts, the daily dosage is 1 to 2 ml of 1:1 25% alcoholic extraction, up to 3 times per day. For hot tea infusions, 1.5 dessert spoonsful left in boiling water for 10 minutes can be taken 3 times a day.
It was formerly used by gypsies as a foot refresher; modern herbalists use its purgative properties. In Russia and in other countries it is used as an herbal aid in removing warts, papillomas and other skin malformations. It is also used in the mole and wart remover Wart Mole Vanish. See also Bloodroot, which has similar chemical composition and therapeutic use as greater celandine, particularly in warts and moles treatment.
Greater celandine acts as a mild sedative which has been used historically to treat asthma, bronchitis, and whooping cough. The herb's antispasmodic effect improves bile flow in the gallbladder and has been reputed to treat gallstones and gallbladder pain. As far back as Pliny the Elder and Dioscorides (1st century CE) this herb has been recognized as a useful detoxifying agent. The root has been chewed to relieve toothache." wikipedia.org
Monday (10/19/09) I'm undergoing a Total Pancreatectomy with Islet Autocell Transplantation. It's still considered an experimental surgery. I have Chronic Pancreatitis. It's a horrible disease. This surgery is the best chance I have at a major improvement in my quality of life, especially as time goes on.
Monday I take a Huge leap of faith. And only time will tell how much it will help. Barring any major complications I should be in ICU for three days and the hospital for 3 weeks.
It'll be a little quiet around here for a while.

Edible Parts: Flowers, Fruit,
Edible Uses: Drink, Salad, Jelly
Fruit - raw or cooked. The fruit is almost as large as a black currant and is produced in large bunches so it is easy to harvest. It has an acid flavor, but it is rather nice raw and is especially good when added to a porridge or muesli. Unfortunately, there is relatively little flesh and a lot of seeds, though some plants have larger and juicier fruits. The cooked fruit tastes somewhat like black currants. The fruit can also be dried and stored for later use. Flowers - raw. They can also be used to make a lemonade-like drink.
CAUTION: Barberry, goldenseal, Oregon grape and other plants containing Berberine should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Avoid if over active thyroid gland. High doses cause vomiting, lowered blood pressure, reduced heart rate, lethargy, nose bleed, skin & eye irritation and kidney infection. Licorice as Glycyrrhiza species nullify berberine effects .
MEDICINAL USES: Alterative, Antibacterial, Antipsoriatic, Antiseborrheic, Antitumor, Blood tonic, Cholagogue, Diuretic,
Laxative, Ophthalmic, Tonic,
Oregon grape was often used by several native North American Indian tribes to treat loss of appetite and debility. Its current herbal use is mainly in the treatment of gastritis and general digestive weakness, to stimulate the kidney and gallbladder function and to reduce catarrhal problems. The root and root bark is alterative, blood tonic, cholagogue, diuretic, laxative and tonic. It improves the digestion and absorption and is taken internally in the treatment of psoriasis, syphilis, hemorrhages, stomach complaints and impure blood conditions. Externally, it has been used as a gargle for sore throats and as a wash for blurry or bloodshot eyes. The roots are harvested in late autumn or early spring and dried for later use. The fruit is an excellent gentle and safe laxative. Berberine, universally present in rhizomes of Mahonia species, has marked antibacterial effects and is used as a bitter tonic. Since it is not appreciably absorbed by the body, it is used orally in the treatment of various enteric infections, especially bacterial dysentery. It should not be used with Glycyrrhiza species (Licorice) because this nullifies the effects of the berberine. Berberine has also shown antitumour activity. The root and root bark are best harvested in the autumn.
OTHER USES: Dye, Yellow, Dark Green, Violet, Dark Bluish-purple, Hedge
A yellow dye is obtained from the inner bark of the stem and roots. It is green according to another report. Dark green, violet and dark blue-purple dyes are obtained from the fruit. A green dye is obtained from the leaves. This species can be grown as a low hedge and does not need trimming. Because of its suckering habit, it also makes a good dense ground cover plant though it can be slow to become established.

Eucalyptus can be found in almost every part of the Australia, and they are adapted to many different habitats.
