Celastrus paniculatus is a woody liana commonly known as black oil plant, climbing staff tree, and intellect tree. The plant grows throughout India at elevations up to 1800 m. Oil from the seeds is used as a traditional medicine in Indian Unani and Ayurvedic medicine.
Celastrus paniculata is a treasured medicinal herb that is revered for its effects on the brain and has been used for centuries in Ayurveda for sharpening the memory, increasing intellect, and improving concentration. The seed oil is used for massage with great benefit, especially in vata diseases like sciatica, lumbago, paralysis, arthritis and facial palsy. The seed oil is useful to hasten the healing in non healing wounds and ulcers. The seed oil is extremely beneficial as a sirovirecana cleansing nasal therapy, wherein the drops instilled into nostrils, ward off mucous secretions in colds and cough. A study of rats suggested the aqueous extract of Celastrus paniculatus seed has dose-dependent cholinergic activity, thereby improving memory performance.
