Researchers studied the role of inflammation in PCOS development. Inflammation may contribute to symptoms, offering new treatment possibilities. Important for understanding and treating this common condition.
MPR, a traditional Persian herbal formula, improves anxiety and depression in IBS-C patients. Supports potential natural treatment for mental health symptoms in IBS sufferers.
Aniseed powder may help improve abdominal pain, anorexia, and diarrhea in COVID-19 patients. It has multiple beneficial properties, including inhibiting SARS-CoV-2. Larger trials are needed to confirm these findings.
This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of five herbs used to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Saudi Arabia. The herbs showed good activity against E. coli and S. aureus, suggesting their potential as natural remedies for IBD.
The study investigated the toxic effect and chemoprotective potential of Pimpinella anisum L. seeds (PAS) against colon cancer. Results suggest that PAS at 400 mg/kg can inhibit aberrant crypto foci incidence and decrease oxidative stress, making it a potential additive for colorectal cancer pharmaceuticals.
This study looked at extracts from Pimpinella anisum and found that it has potential antimicrobial properties against oral pathogens. The presence of antioxidants, antimicrobials, and cytotoxicity was determined using chromatographic testing methods. The results suggest that P. anisum could be a novel agent to combat various bacteria and oral pathogens.
Anise essential oil contains compounds with antimicrobial properties. It has high activity against both bacteria and fungi, making it a potential natural remedy.
This study investigated the effects of Anise in treating testicular torsion. Anise was found to have protective effects against ischemia and reperfusion injury in rat testicles.
This study investigated the antioxidant and anti-amnesic activities of L. plant. Aqueous extract of dried seeds was fractionated and the active fraction (P.aAF) was analyzed. Behavioral and biochemical studies on mice showed significant results, including an increase in inflexion ratio and reduction in MDA and AChE levels, as well as promotion of CAT, SOD, and GSH levels in the brain. The LD for P.aAF was calculated as 95 mg/Kg/p.o. The findings suggest that the plant's oxadiazole compounds contribute to its beneficial effects.
Scientists synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles using olive and black seed essential oils and investigated 27 bioactive compounds, including ZnO, as potential inhibitors for the SARS-CoV-2 main protease. The study optimized dithymoquinone, δ-hederin, oleuropein, and ZnO, which showed promising results in molecular docking studies and molecular dynamics simulations. Further experimental validation of these compounds is required before considering them for clinical trials as a potent inhibitor of COVID-19.
The current self-management recommendations for COVID-19 involve rest, hydration, and the use of NSAIDs for high fever. Many patients may also use herbal medicines.
