Zanthoxylum rhetsa (Syn: Z. budrunga, Z. limonella), family Rutaceae, also called as Indian prickly ash is found in India, Bangladesh, Burma, and Himalayan region. In India, it is commonly found in the northeastern states and in Eastern and Western Ghats of peninsular India (3). The plant is routinely used in food and medicine. The shoots are consumed as food by indigenous people of northeast India and in many cuisines, fruits are used as spice. Traditionally, the plant is employed for treatment of intestinal worms, urinary infection, heart troubles, toothache, asthma, bronchitis, and rheumatism. The Naga tribes in the northeastern region of India employ the leaf decoction in the treatment of intestinal worm infections and as insecticide (4).
