This is the extraction method (part of the study)
Traditional plants, as shown in Table 1, were purchased from
local markets in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Since the plants were pur-
chased from local market as a fresh form, they were confirmed
by comparing with herbarium specimens at Faculty of Pharmacy,
Chiang Mai University, to ensure that the plants used in this exper-
iment were correct materials. Ethanol was used as an extraction
solvent due to the semipolar property of this solvent, which soluble
various phytochemical groups more than the use of polar solvents
like water or non-polar solvents. Moreover, using ethanolic extract
as an active ingredient in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products
provided more safety and compatibility than other organic sol-
vent. To extract the plants, they were separately dried at 45 ?C in a
hot-air oven. Next, they were ground by using an electric grinder
and extracted by maceration with 95% ethyl alcohol. The extracts
were then evaporated to dryness under controlled pressure and
temperature using a rotary evaporator (Eyela, Tokyo, Japan).
