Phytochemicals in Funaria Sp.: A Correlative Analysis for Therapeutic Potential

Since ancient times, bryophytes have been used in Indian traditional medicine to treat burns, bronchitis, tonsillitis, tympanitis, skin disorders, and cardiovascular problems. Funaria samples were collected from the Gautala Wildlife Sanctuary's Jalgaon region. This study examines the quantitative efficacy of phytochemicals. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to determine whether the data had a normal distribution. The significance level for all statistical tests was set at 5% (α = 0.05). Using Pearson correlation analysis, the concentrations of phytochemicals and their order are strongly positively correlated.
