Ongoing efforts to incorporate traditional or herbal medicine practice into the main stream healthcare delivery system of Ghana has led to increased research to isolate, identify, and characterize the active ingredients in these herbal products.

Essential oils from different parts of Xylopia aethiopica, a plant of Africa, showed various degrees of anti bacterial activity. The activity has been attributed to the presence of Xylopic acid the major diterpene component of the fruit oil extract. This

Abstract:
This thesis seeks to analyze the Homeric allusions in the Aethiopica with an inclusive definition to explore Heliodorus’ authorial motives. To approach this project, I use textual analysis to avoid arguments rooted in assumptions of the historical context of the novel, about which we know almost nothing. I explore how links to Homer’s Odyssey are visible within the structural organization of the text and the content of the text. I also explore how the content of the novel reproduces actions and compatible settings of Odyssean characters, which therefore qualifies Heliodorus’ characters in a me

This thesis consists of four individual studies, divided into two sections; "Narrative Structure" and "Narrative Texture". The first chapter ("Heliodoros and the Conventions of Romance") addresses the issue of the essence of romance; it attempts to get behind the narrative of the Aithiopika in such a way as to reveal how Heliodoros works within the boundaries and received practice of the genre ancient romance, and how he adapts and deviates from them. The second chapter ("Hearing Voices: Incorporated Genres in the Aithiopika") deals with genre, but in a different context. This study takes a co
