Herbal tea refers to non-caffeinated drinks from a wide range of plant species which, in addition to having a good flavor, often has diverse medicinal properties. the purpose of this study is ethnobotanical investigate of the medicinal plants which used as herbal teas. in an interview with 32 local residents, medicinal plants that are used as herbal teas were identified. 46 species of medicinal plants belonging to 20 families are used as herbal teas by local people. the Asteraceae with 11 species and Lamiaceae with 6 species included the highest number of species. The shoot of plant was the most used part, which is reported in 28% of plants. Most of the medicinal uses were related to strengthening the digestive system and solving related problems. Achillea millefolium, Echium amoenum, Alcea transcaucasica, Cichorium intybus, Elaeagnus angustifolia, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Malva neglecta, Rosa canina, Stachys lavandulifolia, Mentha longifolia, Thymus kotschyanus, have the largest number of informants. the high diversity of medicinal plants in the area and the people's acceptance of herbal teas have led to many studies on identifying more species, studying their phytochemical compositions, managing the use of plants and creating employment in relation to planting and selling medicinal plants.

Although lots of great achievements have been gained in the battle against cancer during the past decades, cancer is still the leading cause of death in the world including in developing countries. oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) can originate in any location of the mucosa, but the sites most frequently affected are the tongue and floor of the mouth. It predominantly affects men between the fifth and sixth decades of life, being rare in patients under 40 years of age. However, its incidence in younger patients has increased in recent decades. herbal medicinal products are commonly prescribed for the prevention, treatment, and cure of diseases for thousands of years. Over the past decades, the exploration in the area of herbal psychopharmacology has received much attention. In this review, we aimed to introduce the mechanisms of Herbal medicine, as an option of individualized therapy, in treating oral SCC. Herbal medicine could be used as a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in human cancers. It could be applied in oral squamous cell carcinoma patients. In addition, it is a good method for alleviating the side effects of both radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Background: The relationship between the treatment of depression and plant-derived substances (e. g., flavonoids, coumarin, and Scopoletin) has been demonstrated through interference with the monoamine system. The present study was planned to evaluate the anti-depressant effects and active ingredients of Asperula odorata L. plant through behavioral tests in mice. Material and methods: In this experimental study, 35 male Syrian mice weighing 30-40 g were examined in five groups (n=7) as follow: received oral distilled water gavage (control), 10 mg/kg of fluoxetine solution gavage (reference standard), 10, 5, and 2. 5 mg/kg of A. odorata L. extract gavage (treatment groups). After one week, all behavioral tests, including tail suspension test (TST), forced swimming test (FST), open field test (OFT), elevated plus maze test (EPMT), and fractionation tests were performed each morning for 4-6 h within five days. Results: The hydroalcoholic extract of A. odorata contained phenolic and flavonoid substances (Shinoda test confirmed flavonoid family). Administration of extract (10 and 5 mg/kg doses) versus fluoxetine (10 mg/kg dose) reduced the immobility of animals in both FST and TST (P<0. 05). At the OFT, the administered extract increased the number of central square entries of animals with higher mobility (P<0. 05). At a 10 mg/kg dose, the active flavonoid ingredients increased the mice's incline to entre and spent more time within no wall parts of EPMT (P<0. 05). Conclusion: Our study suggests that the hydroalcoholic extract of A. odorata L. could have significant anti-depressant activity.

Inflammation is a severe, chronic health disorder. several theories are proposed to elucidate the mechanisms of inflammation, such as release of cytokines. anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin have been shown in previous studies. this review article aimed to investigate the effect of curcumin on inflammation disorder. the update knowledge of antiinflammatory, antioxidant and immunomodulatory effect of curcumin is provided in this review article. Pharmacological effects of curcumin inducing anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties, were searched using various databases and appropriate keywords. studies have shown anti-inflammatory effect of curcumin including decreased white blood cell, neutrophil, and eosinophil numbers, and its protective effects on serum level of inflammatory disorder. Curcumin decrease malondialdehyde and nitricoxide levels but increase thiol, superoxidase dismutase, and catalase level in oxydative stress conditions. in the immune system. studies have shown curcumin targets various inflammatory mediators such as cyclooxygenase-2, inducible nitricoxide synthase, and nucleare factoe κ B(NF-κ B) thereby attenuating the release of proinflammatory and profibrotic cytokines and suppressing chronic production of free radicals. Therefore evidence from studies suggesting the potentioal utility of curcumin for treating of inflammatory, oxidative and immune disorder.

Echinacea belongs to the Asteracea family and has 11 different species, all of which are perennial and herbaceous plants. This plant is native to the United States and has been used extensively in the past for its healing properties. So far, different extracts have been prepared from different parts of this plant. Echinacea contains important chemical compounds, the most important of which are Alkamides and Phenolic compounds (including Echinacoside, Chicoric acid, and other Caffeic acid derivatives), which have beneficial properties such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting effects. Nowadays, due to the abuse of antibiotics and resistance of bacteria to them, it is necessary to know the alternatives to antibiotics, which based on the antibacterial properties of Echinacea, can be used as an alternative to antibiotics.

Tea tree oil has antimicrobial activity and great potential in treating acne. Furthermore, the use of tea tree oil has many advantages over antibiotics as a result of theirs low effectiveness associated to bacterial resistance. The current study reviews articles related to the antibacterial and anti-acne activity of tea tree oil.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), is an extremely infectious disease. Since 2019, a terrible pandemic of this disease has swept the globe, and it hasn't stopped, with regular mutations transforming into aggressive and contagious versions. As the world struggles with coronavirus infection, patients are being treated with a variety of antiviral medications and symptomatic therapies, and clinical trials are in progress. In these circumstances, it is more important to consider all of the treatment options for COVID-19, including herbal medicine. People reckon that the COVID-19 patient would be relieved from symptoms and cured by using herbal immunomodulators. In many countries, herbal medication has already been used to manage corona such as China, Africa, Iran. On account of not having adequate preclinical and clinical studies regarding the effect of herbal medication on coronavirus, some herbal medicine plants could be effective to treat patients based on the previous experiments. Some herbal medicines, such as Curcuma longa, Garlic, Cinchona, Echinacea, Ginger, and Curcuma xanthorrhiza are discussed in this article as effective treatments for COVID-19 due to their antiviral effects. Although their effectiveness is still controversial and further research is needed, we also review some impacts of herbal and draw conclusions at the end of the session.

Medicinal plants play a major role in traditional remedies, prevention of diseases and managing the symptoms. When a health problem, like COVID-19 pandemic, rises global concerns, this role becomes more prominent. Respiratory system involvement is common in COVID-19 disease and Many patients with mild to moderate infection prefer to be treated at home with variety of herbal remedies that have been suggested for symptomatic treatment. Due to findings of previous studies on the immunomodulatory effects and antiviral activities of peppermint on coronaviruses, in this review study, an attempt was made to outline the potential and safe use of peppermint, its compounds and peppermint essential oil in prevention of SARSCoV-2 infection, also control and management of mild respiratory symptoms due to coronavirus based on scientific evidence. So a critical overview of scientific literatures was performed and clinical evidences were retrieved and summarized. Effects of this plant has been studied at cellular-molecular, individual and society consumption level. Based on available evidence, use of peppermint has been effective in prevention of infection as well as symptom treatment of COVID-19. However it’ s notable that complementary therapies can not replace standard therapies and patients must follow the instructions that are recommended by health care system.

Introduction: Different Scholars have mentioned a lot of benefits for Salvadora Persica(SP) compounds. The Present study was conducted aiming at evaluating the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of SP on second-degree burn healing in Mice. Materials and Methods: The present study population was 60 mature mice (BALB/c). The mice were divided into 5 equal groups. Groups 1 and 2 were treated by means of the application of 5% hydroalcoholic extract of SP and 10% extract of it, respectively; regarding group 3 revieved silver sulfadiazine ointment. Group 4 was treated using Vaseline. Group 5 received no treatment. Then, samples from the injured sites was gathered, and wound healing was evaluated histopathologically. Results: Inflammation and infilteration of nutrophils and lymphocytes in the treatment groups, i. e. the groups to which 5% and 10% SP extract was applied, demonstrated a significant decrease, compared to the vaseline and sham groups (P<0. 01). Moreover, the number of fibroblasts increased followed by collagen production, epithelialization and new hair follicles formation at the wound margins on the 10th and 14th day in the 5% and 10% SP extract groups significantly increased compared to vaseline and sham groups (P<0. 05). The number of fibroblasts and the density of collagen tissues in the group treated with 10% SP extract even showed a significant increase compared to the groups treated with 5% SP extract and silver sulfadiazine on the 14th day. Conclusion: It was found that hydroalcoholic salvadora Persica extract accelerated the healing of second-degree burn injuries in BALB/c mice.
