A Report On Clinical Trails

Although the use of sea buckthorn has no established interactions as a food form, suppository, or with topical application, it is possible that unknown interactions exist. When taken internally as an oil or oil capsule, interactions with sea buckthorn have been noted. These interactions have been observed with certain herbs and dietary supplements, drugs, and some diseases or conditions.

Aromatherapy is used as an alternative medicine which consists of essential oils extracted from a wide variety of components such as: trees, shrubs, grasses, herbs and flowers. Each component is stored in a specialised oil and on average an essential oil contains one hundred components including alcohols, ketones and aldehydes (Worwood, 1991). Essences are also used in general medicine they are used as flavouring agents and therapeutic ingredients, they are used in a number of medication including antiseptic creams and ointments. Aromatherapy aims to improve an individual’s health or mood through non-invasive and non-toxic treatment/therapies. The evaporation of essences from the components surface is known to be a defence mechanism against infection by bacteria and fungi which contribute towards stimulating the body’s own natural healing mechanisms. There are a combination of aromas which include: massage, aromatic baths and other treatments that all work to regulate, balance and heal (Tisserand, 1977).

According to a Nightingale Community Hospital document, Mrs. Jane Doe, a 67 year old female, was admitted on 10/15/2012 for a laparoscopic hysterectomy. The hysterectomy was converted to an open procedure due to excessive bleeding approximately five weeks prior to hospitalization. Due to complications from the surgery, Mrs. Doe was readmitted for a possible post-operative infection. Five days ago, Mrs. Doe underwent surgery to treat an abscess formed from her previous surgery and for the insertion of a central line for long-term antibiotics (Tracer Summary, n.d.).

Traditionally, the root of A. racemosus has been widely used to increase fertility and libido, cures inflammation of sexual organs, enhances ovulation, prepares the womb for conception and prevents miscarriages (Kalia et al., 2003; Naik, 1988; Dwivedi & Tewari, 1991). Although, A. racemosus roots also known to possess estrogenic property (Tewari et al., 1968), but it has also been documented that at higher doses of A. racemosus, it maintains the balance between the endogenous female sex hormones (Sharma and Bhatnagar, 2011). Moreover, the ethno medical use of A. racemosus root as an anticonvulsant has been experimentally validated in our laboratory (unpublished data) as well as by other researchers too (references). The available literature reveals that the plant has not been explored with respect to its therapeutic potential as an anticonvulsant in catamenial epilepsy. But nowadays the virtual screening of the phytochemicals is believed to be a major tool for drug discovery beyond their ethnic use. Hence, an effort has been made to explore the pharmacological activities of Asparagus racemosus root using Prediction of Activity Spectra for Substances (PASS) and Pharmaexpert. In line with in our current study, a PASS based analysis (Table 1 & 2) revealed the presence of different bioactive phytoconstituents which might be responsible as an anticonvulsant with the most significant possibility of getting effective in the management of catamenial

According to world health organization, medicinal plants would be the best source to develop a variety of medications. Lots of medicinal plants with antidiarrheal properties have been widely used by the traditional healers; however, the effectiveness of many of these anti-diarrheal traditional medicines has not been scientifically evaluate. About 80% of individuals from developed countries receive traditional medicines including compounds derived from medicinal plants (11, 12).

Unfortunately very little science has gone behind the modern day claims about medicinal benefits of this herb. It seems like today's opportunistic marketers do not care about thorough research but start drumming up their campaigns at slightest hints of what may be remotely effective.

25 plant species were used in traditional medicine to treat skin disease and to treat antimicrobial (viral, bacterial or protozoan) infections. This experiment was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of traditional Ghanaian medicines with special interest in anti-methicillin-resistant/react-text Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) activity. Chloroform, ethanol and aqueous extracts of these plants were arranged and agar-well diffusion tests, MIC's and MBC's were used to examine antimicrobial action. The extracts of 13 plant species showed the growth of one or more of the resulting bacteria, MRSA, methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus vulgaris. Extracts from 11 of these 13 plant species also inhibited the growth of three or more of 14 additional clinical isolates of MRSA. Aqueous extracts of Alchornea cordifolia were active against all 21 bacterial strains tested and showed the highest levels of antibacterial activity overall with MIC's against MRSA in the range of 1.6–3.1 mg ml and MBC's in the range of 6.3–12.5. The presence of antibacterial activity in extracts of Elaeophorbia drupifera, Rauwolfia vomitoria and the leaves of Solanum verbascifolium, plants traditionally used to treat skin infections, are reported for the first time. Extracts from Alchornea cordifolia, also used to treat wounds, had the widest spectrum of antibacterial

Using essential oils may not get rid of all cancers, and in a matter of life and death, chemotherapy and synthetic treatment is the best option. However, studies on cancer cells show that after the aggressive use of the oils, Sandalwood and Frankincense, cancer cells in the breast, colon, skin and mouth died and the disease became weaker. This can happen because when essential oils are applied, the plant substances enter the cells and help them know how to die before any more damage occurs, therefore stopping the spread of cancer. This is more commonly known as the process of apoptosis. Mikhail Dozmorov, a scientist and writer for the US National Library of Medicine, observed that “both frankincense and sandalwood essential oils suppressed the viability of human bladder cancer J82 cells”. This means that the oils stopped the cancer cells from multiplying in the bladder. Frankincense utilized heat shock proteins and histone proteins to demolish the cells, while Sandalwood activated the regulation of protein kinase activity and G protein-coupled receptors to kill them. Frankincense is very effective in destroying cancer cells. One study shows how the “frankincense essential oil possesses potent anti-tumor activity” (Xiao Ni et al, “Frankincense Oil Prepared”). This oil helps to shrink pancreatic tumors. OnGuard, a protective citrus blend, “has been studied for its strong abilities to kill

There are many use of tracers and they can show the areas of damaged tissue in the heart by detecting areas of decreased blood flow. Tracers can reveal coronary artery disease and damaged or dead heart muscle caused by heart attacks. It can also show blood flow in the brain and this will help when it comes to researching and treating neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. Tracers can also identify active cancer tumours by showing metabolic activity and cancers take up more tracer.

As a biological model for the preliminary selection of components from a natural source, brine shrimp is lethality test. Clove essential oil obtained by hydro distillation and essential oil of Eucalyptus were purchased. Acquire from aerial parts, extracts and essential oil of D. furfurada did not show activity, but the essential oil from underground was functioning. (Brandao, et.al, 2013)

Natural medicine doctors have been admonished for years by proclaiming that "nature has a cure", yet the body of evidence continues to grow with the many studies showing the anti-tumorial action of oils like Frankincense and Lemongrass. These plants have been used for centuries for healing -- now, the essential oils offer us very concentrated medicine that happens to be very compatible with our physiology. Essential oils easily penetrate our cell membranes, travel safely through our bloodstreams, and can play a dual role of eradicating tumors while enhancing the ability of our immune system to do its job (other studies are showing essential oils actually "tune" the electrical state of our white blood cells such that they do a better job of removing unwanted microbes from our

Recently, the medical record for patient 453355 was reviewed in order to trace their care through departments and services at the hospital. This patient was recently admitted to the hospital with a post-op wound infection and

Accreditation requirements must be interwoven in natural flow within the context of the assessment and become more meaningful components to the assessment:

The mechanisms of toxic action of essential oils have not been fully elucidated to date. Studies on the mode of action of essential oil treatments are of
