Acaricidal effects of herb essential oils against Dermatophagoides farinae and D. pteronyssinus (Acari: Pyroglyphidae) and qualitative analysis of a herb Mentha pulegium(pennyroyal). (1/2)
This experiment was undertaken to screen the acaricidal effects of herb essential oils (pennyroyal, ylang ylang, citronella, lemon grass, tea tree, and rosemary) at different doses (0.1, 0.05, 0.025, 0.0125, and 0.00625 microliter/cm(2)) and exposure times (5, 10, 20, 20, 30 and 60 min) on house dust mites Dermatophgoides farinae and D. pteronyssinus. The most effective acaricidal components of pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium) were analyzed using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS). Of these essential oils, the most effective was pennyroyal, which is composed essentially of pulegone (> 99%), at a dose of 0.025 microliter/cm(2), which at an exposure time of 5 min killed more than 98% of house dust mites. In the pennyroyal fumigation test, the closed method was more effective than the open method and maximum acaricidal effect was 100% at 0.025 microliter/cm(2), 60 min. The results show that herb essential oils, in particular, pennyroyal was proved to have potent acaricidal activity. (+info)Spasmolytic effect of Mentha pulegium L. involves ionic flux regulation in rat ileum strips. (2/2)
Mentha pulegium is common known as "poleo" and used for the treatment of diarrhea, headache and cough in Mexican traditional medicine. Organic extracts from aerial parts were evaluated to determine their spasmolytic action on rat isolated ileum test. Hexanic (HEMp), dichloromethanic (DEMp) and methanolic (MEMp) extracts induced a concentration-dependent (0.97 to 1000 microg/mL) antispasmodic effect on spontaneous contractions. DEMp was the most active extract; therefore, spasmolytic mechanism was investigated. This extract (200 microg/mL) induced a significant depression on cumulative concentration-response curve for carbachol and serotonin (P<0.05). Besides, extract decreased and shifted to the right KCl- and CaCl2-induced contraction curves. Moreover, pre-incubation with chlorpromazine (0.001 mM) shifted to the left the relaxant curve. Pre-treatment with L-NAME (1 mM), papaverine (0.01 mM), teophylline (0.01 mM), TEA (1 mM) and glybenclamide (0.1 mM) did not produced any changed of the relaxant curves of DEMp. Findings indicate that dichloromethanic extract of M. pulegium induced its spasmolytic effect through Ca2+-influx blockade, which may explain its traditional use against diarrhea. (+info)"Mentha pulegium" is the scientific name for an herb commonly known as pennyroyal. It belongs to the mint family (Lamiaceae) and is native to Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia. Pennyroyal has been used traditionally in folk medicine for various purposes such as treating digestive issues, relieving menstrual cramps, and repelling insects. However, it's essential to note that pennyroyal can be toxic if ingested in large amounts or overused, especially in pregnant women, due to its active compound pulegone. Always consult a healthcare professional before using any herbal remedies for medicinal purposes.
"Mentha" is a genus name in botanical taxonomy, which includes various species of mint plants. While it's not a medical term per se, some mentha species have been used in traditional medicine and may be referenced in medical literature or natural health practices. The essential oils derived from these plants, such as peppermint (Mentha piperita) and spearmint (Mentha spicata), are often used in aromatherapy, topical applications, and as flavorings in oral care products and medications. They have been studied for potential benefits related to digestion, pain relief, and mental clarity, although more research is needed to confirm these effects and establish appropriate dosages and safety guidelines.
"Mentha piperita" is the scientific name for peppermint, which is a hybrid plant that's a cross between watermint and spearmint. It is a commonly used herb in medicine, particularly in the form of peppermint oil. The oil has been found to have several medicinal properties including antimicrobial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antispasmodic effects. It is often used to treat gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), nausea, and vomiting. Additionally, it has been found to be effective in providing relief from headaches and muscle pain.
"Mentha spicata" is the scientific name for an herb that is more commonly known as spearmint. According to medical definitions, spearmint is a type of plant that belongs to the mint family (Lamiaceae). It is native to Europe and Asia but is now widely cultivated throughout the world. The leaves of the spearmint plant are used for various purposes, including culinary, medicinal, and cosmetic uses.
Spearmint contains several compounds with potential medicinal properties, such as carvone, limonene, and rosmarinic acid. Some studies suggest that spearmint may have antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. It is also used traditionally to treat digestive complaints, such as nausea, vomiting, and indigestion. However, more research is needed to confirm these benefits and establish safe and effective dosages.
It's worth noting that spearmint should not be confused with peppermint (Mentha x piperita), which is a related but distinct species of mint. While both spearmint and peppermint have similar uses and benefits, they contain different concentrations of active compounds and may have slightly different effects on the body.
A "cookbook" in the medical context is a type of educational resource that provides instructions and recipes for preparing specialized meals, often tailored to meet the dietary needs or restrictions of individuals with specific medical conditions. These cookbooks are commonly created by healthcare professionals, nutritionists, or culinary experts in collaboration, and they aim to help patients adhere to their prescribed diets while still enjoying tasty and nutritious meals.
Examples of medical cookbooks include those designed for people with diabetes, celiac disease, food allergies, kidney disease, or other chronic conditions requiring dietary modifications. These resources typically include detailed information about the specific dietary restrictions, ingredients to avoid, and alternative options to maintain flavor and nutritional value in meals.
Medical cookbooks can be an essential tool for patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers alike, as they promote better adherence to dietary plans, enhance knowledge of appropriate food choices, and encourage overall healthier eating habits.
"Hedeoma is a genus of aromatic plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae. It includes about 60 species of annual and perennial herbs and shrrubs, native to North America and Central America. The most common species is Hedeoma pulegioides, also known as American pennyroyal or squawmint, which has a long history of use in traditional medicine for its carminative, diaphoretic, and emmenagogue properties. However, it should be noted that the essential oil of this plant can be toxic if ingested in large amounts. Other species of Hedeoma have also been used in traditional medicine, but their safety and efficacy have not been well-studied."
I am not aware of a medical definition for the term "cookbooks." The term "cookbook" in general refers to a book containing recipes and instructions for cooking or preparing food. If you are looking for medical or scientific terminology, you might be thinking of "protocols," which are step-by-step procedures or sets of instructions followed in specific scientific or medical experiments or treatments.
An abortifacient agent is a substance or drug that causes abortion by inducing the uterus to contract and expel a fetus. These agents can be chemical or herbal substances, and they work by interfering with the implantation of the fertilized egg in the uterine lining or by stimulating uterine contractions to expel the developing embryo or fetus.
Examples of abortifacient agents include misoprostol, mifepristone, and certain herbs such as pennyroyal, tansy, and black cohosh. It is important to note that the use of abortifacient agents can have serious health consequences, including infection, bleeding, and damage to the reproductive system. Therefore, it is essential to consult with a healthcare provider before using any abortifacient agent.
