Benefits Of Marjoram

Its primary use was for its antimalarial benefits, which throughout the 1600s to 1800s was the primary treatment for malaria. It is also used to kill parasites, reduce fever, regulate the heartbeat, stimulate digestions, antibacterials, antifungals, reduce muscle spasms, relieve pain, and calm nerves.

An example of those are carnosic acid, rosmarinic acid and caffeic acid, possessing strong antioxidant, radical-scavenging, and antibacterial activities. The majority of the phenolic acids in Sage species are derivatives of caffeic acid which is the building block of a variety of plant metabolites. Caffeic acid plays a central role in the biochemistry of the Lamiaceae plants, and occurs mainly in a dimer form as rosmarinic acid. Carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid, which are present at high concentrations in the extract of Sage plants, have shown strong antioxidant properties. Ursolic acid, also a component of sage, has strong anti-inflammatory properties, and in sage preparations, it is considered as a quality control measurement for the anti-inflammatory effects of different

Natural products used to treat many diseases for a long time. Natural products derived from many sources such as fungus like Piptoporus betulinus, which is used as an antiseptic and disinfectant and plants like Alhagi maurorum, which is used to treat anorexia, constipation, dermatosis, epistaxis, fever, leprosy, and obesity. (1) In this research, we will focus on one natural product derived from a plant called Serenoa repens. Serenoa repens also called Saw palmetto, is a plant grows up to 1m in width and 3m in height. Each part of it has different uses, for example, its leaves are used to make thatching, baskets, fans, brushes, brooms, rope, fire kindling, fish traps and dolls and its berries are used as food and as medicine.

One of the best uses for lemongrass is for first aid. This essential oil is an anti-inflammatory and is also has anti-microbial properties. You can even use this essential oil for aromatherapy when applied with a diffuser product in your home.

MM has been proven to have many founded beneficial medical applications. Some proven MM uses are as follows: "Anti-nauseant and appetite stimulant • Anti-spasmodic and anti-convulsant Analgesic (pain reliever) • Anti-inflammatory and immune system modulator • Anxiolytic (anxiety reliever) and anti-depressant for mood disorders • Harm reduction substitute for alcohol, opiates and other dangerous drugs • Miscellaneous applications like glaucoma and asthma" (Gieringer, Dale and Rosenthal 40). Countless other uses that are commonly known but not proven include: headaches, epileptic disorders, cancer treatment. The list of possible medical applications go on and on. MM is has been proven to be not physically addictive unlike many pharmaceutical drugs. It also can be used in many different forms such as tinctures, oils, in food products, vaporized and smoked. The medical benefits of MM are possibly endless if they could be studied appropriately and applied as a first treatment choice for physicians when treating certain

The three essential oils used in the trials were ginger, spearmint, and peppermint. All of the oils were extracted using steam distillation. In this meta-analysis, the results were inconclusive. Several studies found that there was no reliable evidence for the use of peppermint oil for the treatment of nausea. Conversely, there were studies that supported the efficacy of peppermint for reducing post-operative nausea. One randomized control trial ascertained that a blend of ginger, mints, and cardamom were effective in reducing nausea. Mint was found to reduce colonic spasms and slow peristalsis. Regarding the safety of essential oils, the possibility for reaction due to high concentration and lack of standardization resulting in the presence of differing substances poses potential risk for drug interaction or allergic response. In their review of available data, they found that there were 71 reported cases of adverse effects to aromatherapy, including one death. Topical application had the most adverse response with dermatitis being the primary reaction. With this in mind, it is important to spot test prior to liberal administration of topical essential

vulgare shown to have significant antibacterial activity in vitro as compared to some standard antibiotics[53]. Butanol and aqueous fractions of F. vulgare fruit showed intermediate free radical scavenging activity in vitro[54]. A group of rat pretreated with aqueous extract of F. vul-gare shown to have suppressed ethanol-induced gastric lesions. Also, this extract significantly reduced lipid peroxidation and increased antioxidant activity[70]. Administration of methanolic extract of F. vulgare fruit orally to mice has been shown to suppress Type 4 allergic reactions as well as acute and subacute inflammatory responses and also shown moderate centeral analgesic effect. In addition, it significantly enhance plasma antioxidant status while suppressing lipid peroxidation chain

It has a similarity with valerian; it also treats spasms, fatigue, nervous tension and insomnia. It is used as sedatives and prolongs your sleeping time. This has been used by people for a very long time already since the ancient time. Now, because it is indeed effective and safe, people up to now are still using this herb.

In vitro enzyme-inhibitory assay-guided fractionation of Polygonum hyrcanicum extract resulted in the purification of 13 phenolic compounds as the active constituents. Based on NMR data, the purified compounds of Polygonum hyrcanicum were identified as quercetin (1) [17], myricetin (2) [17], N-trans-caffeoyl-tyramine (3) [18], quercetin 3-O-α-L-(3",5"-diacetyl-arabinofuranoside) (4) [19], quercetin 3-O-α-L-(3"-acetyl-arabinofuranoside) (5) [20], myricetin 3-O-α-L-(3",5"-diacetyl-arabinofuranoside) (6) [21], (+) catechin (7) [22], (-) gallocatechin (8) [22], myricetin 3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (9) [23], myricetin 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (myricitrin) (10) [23], quercetin 3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (11) [24], myricetin 3-O-α-L-arabinofuranoside

The leaves of the plant and its dried fruit can be used in anxiety homeopathy to reduce arterial pressure and ease respiration, resulting in a calming effect. Similarly, St. John's Wort has been shown to have a calming effect and has often been used to treat hysteria and nervousness.

The dried powdered stems of E. calophrys (3 kg, 230-270 mesh) were macerated with methanol (MeOH, 3 x 7.5 L, 24 h each time) at room temperature and yielded a dried methanol extract as dark green gum (150 g). This extract was further fractionated using a silica gel VLC (10 x 5 cm, 150 g), eluted with n-hexane–ethyl acetate (from 8:2 to 0:10) followed by pure MeOH, and gave 5 main fractions (F1-F5) with weight of 1.1, 5.0, 10.3, 10.2, and 58.4 g, respectively. Main fraction F2 was re-fractionated using a silica gel VLC (5 x 5 cm, 50 g) and gradiently eluted with n-hexane–ethyl acetate (from 7:3 to 0:10) and MeOH as mobile phases, to yield subfractions F21 (0.2 g), F22 (1.0 g), F23 (0.8 g), and F24 (1.2 g). Subfraction F23 was chromatographed using a silica gel RC with chloroform–MeOH (95:5) and pure MeOH as mobile phases, to produce pure compound 1 (0.2 g). Furthermore, the main fraction F3 was subjected to a

It is a very good anesthetic and can disinfect wounds by its antiseptic! In addition, it is effective against digestive spasms and liver problems.

Two methods of extractions were employed for the extraction of phytochemicals from the leaves of O.mauritiana. The percentage yield of the methanolic extract was then recorded and compared.

An ancient papyrus believed to have originated in the 16th century BCE before common era), lists over 800 recipes which refer to 700 plus herbs used medicinally, including wormwood, peppermint, myrrh, aloe, henbane and castor oil. The papyrus also notes the used of moldy bread on sores and wounds to prevent infection.

Herbal medicines are great alternative for commercially manufactured medicines available in the market. The major reason why herbal medicine differ from modern medicine is because they are produced with 100% natural content. Therefore the plant extract has all the medicinal values that are as effective as modern medicine. Commercially prepared drugs show results quickly but have numerous side effects. However herbal medicines don’t show any side
