Content on supposed Indian medicine edit

@Zefr, please explain why you keep reverting my edits. I would like to know why you don't believe a scientific publication is an appropriate resource when what it claims is that the plant is used for a purpose. That's a fairly easy claim to support, no? Here is the reference you keep removing:

Known as "Guletura" in India, the leaves, flower, bark, and sees of C. pulcherrima are used in Indian medicine. The bark and leaves have traditionally both used as abortifacients, while other parts of the plant are considered tonics and stimulants.[1]

To remove this information is to remove meaning from Wikipedia, which I don't believe is in keeping with the practices or ethos of this project. Emjackson42 (talk) 19:11, 26 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

The Indian Journal of Pharmacology is not a reliable source, having a very low impact factor. Information in the Sharma article is preliminary and not reliable. For medical content, Wikipedia requires high-quality reviews, as discussed in WP:MEDRS. --Zefr (talk) 19:57, 26 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
