Fennel Essential Oil and Extract, The Potent Anti Hypoglycemic Remedies, Scientists Reveal
Fennel may process a strong effect in preventing the abnormal rise of blood glucose in patients with diabetes, some scientists found.
In comparison to hyperglycemia with an excessive amount of glucose that circulates in the blood plasma, hypoglycemia is a condition of blood sugar, that falls below the levels of the normal range.
Patients with acute hypoglycemia may experience symptoms of clumsiness, trouble talking, confusion, loss of consciousness, seizures, or death.
Most cases of hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes are due to poor management. However, eating more carbohydrates than usual, less physical activity compared to a normal day being sick or high levels of stress in patients with diabetes also can cause blood glucose uptake.
Some researchers suggested that not getting the right dosage of insulin and glucose-lowering medication also causes increased blood glucose levels.
Long-term untreated hyperglycemia can elevate the onset of some serious complications including nerve damage, kidney damage and failure, heart disease, and eye disease, particularly in food and skin problems. or retinopathy foot problems caused by damaged nerves and poor blood flow skin problems, such as bacterial and fungal infections
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species belongings to the family Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), native to the Mediterranean
The plant has been used in traditional and herbal medicine as a warming, carminative, antispasmodic, and antidepression agent and to stimulate the appetite, ease indigestion, soothe coughing, reduce intestinal spasms, regulate the menstrual cycle and relieve PMS,...
In the examine the antihyperglycemic activity of fennel essential oil in an animal model, researchers launched an investigation to evaluate rats induced by bacterial streptozotocin.
At the concentrations of 30 mg/kg body weight, the essential oil of fennel demonstrated a correction of hyperglycemia in the doses from 162.5 mg/dL to 81.97 ± 1.97 mg/dL by increasing the serum of antioxidants activity of serum glutathione peroxidase from 59.72 U/g Hb to 99.60 U/g Hb produced by the host.
The application also improved the pathological changes noticed in their kidney and pancreas, compared to the control group.
After making the final adjustment, researchers suggested that the study not only reaffirms the use of the essential oil of fennel for the treatment of hyperglycemia in folk medicine but also raises the possibility of essential oil inclusion in the antidiabetic drug industry.
Further analysis of the ethanolic and aqueous extracts of selected Sudanese plants, including fennel that is traditionally used to treat diabetes, researchers at the Khartoum College of Medical Sciences, suggested that fennel extract reveals a significant antioxidant activity in DPPH free radical scavenging assay.
However, the injection of fennel extract exhibited the highest toxicity.
These findings indicated that although fennel extract processes a substantial and positive effect in reducing the spike of blood glucose intake and the use of the fennel extract can only be prescribed by herbalists and professionals in the related field.
Additionally, in the testing, the hypoglycemic effect of a single dose of Gluconorm-5 (150, 300, and 600 mg/kg body weight) made up of five plants namely Camellia sinensis, Punica granatum, Macrotyloma uniflorum, Foeniculum vulgare and Trigonella foenum-graecum in normal, glucose loaded normal and diabetes-induced rats, researchers found that
* Fifteen days of oral feeding of the Gluconorm-5 (300 and 600 mg/kg) to diabetic rats resulted in a significant (P < 0.01) reduction of blood glucose, lipid profile, liver weight, and marker enzymes as compared to those rats in whom STZ induced toxicity was untreated.
* The diabetic rats treated with the formula showed expanded islets compared to the untreated diabetic rats, which showed shrunken islets.
* Treated rats received 300 mg/kg of Gluconorm-5 showed pronounced antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic, and hepatoprotective effects.
This comprehensive differentiation showed that Gluconorm-5 processes potent antidiabetic antihyperlipidemic and hepatoprotective effect properties.
Taken altogether, fennel extract, and fennel essential oil used alone or combined with other herbal antidiabetic herbal medicine can be considered an adjuvant in the treatment of hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus.

#Herbal Ashwagandha Reduces the Risk of Memory Loss, Studies Find
Memory is one of the major functions of the brain that collects and stores data or information which is retrieved when needed.
In other words, memory is the retention of information over time that have a strong influence on future action.
Memory impairment is a condition of partial or complete loss of memory, depending on the quality of the neuron that has been affected.
Memory impairment other than the physical impact is a progressive disease that can lead to permanent loss of memory due to the gradual loss of neurons in the brain.
Memory impairment can be acute or chronic.
In acute impairment, memory is temporary loss in most cases associated with physical impact on the brain that causes injury of neurons.
Chronic memory impairment is the loss of memory that can get worse overtime found mostly in the elderly with neurodegenerative diseases, such as dementia.
In elderly or aging-induced memory loss is associated with the deterioration of a region of the brain involved in the formation and retrieval of memories, the hippocampus, and the reduced hormones and protein that protect and repair brain cells and stimulate neural growth.
The most common risk factors associated with memory loss in the general population are long-term use of certain medications, excessive alcohol drinking, smoking, drug abuse, depression, nutrient deficiency, stroke, and daily stress.
However, some researchers suggested the rise of memory impairment in the elderly probably is correlated to the promotion of the Western diet over the past few decades.
Dr. Scott E. Kanoski, the lead scientist in the review of the risk cognitive impairment in the Western diet consumption wrote, "Intake of saturated fats and simple carbohydrates, two of the primary components of a modern Western diet, is linked with the development of obesity and Alzheimer's Disease".
And, "Western diet intake is associated with cognitive impairment, with a specific emphasis on learning and memory functions that are dependent on the integrity of the hippocampus".
The results clearly stated if you are a Western diet follower, you are at a higher risk of memory impairment compared to healthy diet individuals.
Ashwagandha also is known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, Middle East, and the Mediterranean. The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered as anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.
On finding a potent compound for the treatment of brain health, researchers examined the efficacy and safety of ashwagandha (Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal) on memory and cognitive functioning in adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
The prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study included 50 adults assigned to the treatment of either ashwagandha-root extract (300 mg twice daily) or placebo for eight weeks.
According to the analysis of Wechsler Memory Scale III subtest scores for logical memory, at week 8, the ashwagandha treatment group exerted significant improvements in both immediate and general memory, compared with the placebo group.
Futhermore, verbal paired associates I (p = 0.042), faces I (p = 0.020), family pictures I (p = 0.006), logical memory II (p = 0.006) scores were also significantly increase compared to placebo.
According to the scores of Eriksen Flanker task (p = 0.002), Wisconsin Card Sort test (p = 0.014), Trail-Making test part A (p = 0.006), and the Mackworth Clock test (p = 0.009), ashwagandha treatment group also displayed a significantly greater improvement in executive function, sustained attention, and information-processing speed also compared to placebo.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "Ashwagandha may be effective in enhancing both immediate and general memory in people with MCI as well as improving executive function, attention, and information processing speed.".
Taken altogether, Ashwagandha may be considered a functional herb for the improvement of the brain health, pending the result of larger sample size and multicenter study

Ginger, the Natural Antibiotics Alternative Functional Spice
Ginger may be considered a natural antibiotics alternative for the treatment of Candida albicans overgrowth without inducing any side effects, some scientists suggested.
Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogenic yeast formed part of the commensal gastrointestinal mycobiota.
Candida albicans overgrowth is the most prevalent cause of fungal infections in humans.
Epidemiological studies strongly suggested that long-term users of antibiotics that cause an imbalance of the gut microbiome, weakened immune system, unhealthy diet, and women who are pregnant and hormone imbalance of hormone near menstruation are susceptible to the onset of the condition.
If you experience symptoms of oral thrush, recurring genital or urinary tract infections, persistent digestive issues, or joint pain. particularly, in the skin and nail fungal infections, you may have a yeast infection.
Please check with your doctor to rule out the Candida albicans overgrowth possibility.
Dr. Carol A. Kumamoto in the research team of infectious diseases in the study "Inflammation and gastrointestinal Candida colonization" suggested that Candida albicans overgrowth can be caused by other medical conditions, associated with a digestive disorder.
In the study, the doctor wrote, "Recent studies, however, show that high-level Candida colonization is associated with several diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Further, results from animal models argue that Candida colonization delays the healing of inflammatory lesions and that inflammation promotes colonization".
And, "Both inflammatory bowel disease and gastrointestinal Candida colonization are associated with elevated levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-17. Therefore, effects on IL-17 levels may underlie the ability of Candida colonization to enhance inflammation".
These results strongly suggested, inflammation flames the overgrowth of Candida colonization in return, the overgrowth of Candida albicans induces persistently low-grade inflammation.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or ginger root, the second superfood used for thousands of years by mankind, is the genus Zingiber, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil.
The root has been used in traditional and Chinese medicine to treat dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc.
With an aim to find the natural ingredient or whole food for the replacement of conventional antibiotics without inducing any effects, researchers at the Teikyo University Institute of Medical Mycology investigated the effect of ginger against infection caused by Candida albicans.
4 preparations of the essential oils of young and mature rhizomes, air-dried and steamed rhizomes, and seed rhizomes of Zingiber officinale Roscoe (ginger) were compared in the study.
* All ginger essential oils processed a significant anti-Candida Albicans activity.
* Essential oil from the seed and air-dried rhizomes, exerted the highest effect compared to other preparations.
* The seed and air-dried rhizomes essential oils also had a potent inhibitory activity compared to ginger oleoresins obtained by ethanol and hypercritical carbon dioxide extraction and essential oils of 5 other plants in the family Zingiberaceae.
According to the chemical constituents assay, [6]-shogaol was most active against filament formation and growth of C. Albicans, followed by citral and [6]-gingerol.
Furthermore, ginger oleoresin, especially that obtained by ethanol extraction, with a high [6]-gingerol content exhibited potent anti-growth of C. Albicans compared to essential oils of ginger and other Zingiberaceae plants.
Moreover, a vitro joint study by the Institute of Science and Technology, researchers launched an investigation to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of 2% chlorhexidine gel (CHX) isolated from ginger as an auxiliary chemical substance and intracanal medications on Candida albicans.
The study included 48 single-rooted human teeth randomly divided into four groups (n = 12), according to intracanal medications used: (1) Calcium hydroxide + apyrogenic saline solution (Ca(OH)2 + SS), (2) 20% ginger glycolic extract (GEN), (3) calcium hydroxide + 20% ginger glycolic extract (Ca(OH)2 + GEN), (4) apyrogenic SS (control).
At the end of the experiment, researchers found that
* CHX was effective in the complete elimination of E. coli and C. Albicans.
* ChX also significantly reduced and then completely eliminated E. faecalis after intracanal medication.
* All other applications also revealed a reduction of endotoxins, the outer membrane of the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria.
In the final report, the research team concluded, "CHX and intracanal medication used were able to eliminate the microorganisms from the root canal; the endotoxins were reduced, yet not completely eliminated".
These results strongly suggested that ginger bioactive compound processes a significant antibacterial activity, particularly in those of C. Albicans.
Taken all together, there is no doubt that ginger may be considered a functional food for the prevention and combined with primary medicine for the treatment of yeast infection with no side effects.

Herbal Bilberry, the Potential Treatment for Retinitis Pigmentosa, Researchers Say
Retinitis pigmentosa is a genetic condition characterized by the breakdown and gradual loss of cells in the retina.
The retina is the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. The function of the retina is to convert the light received into neural signals before sending them to the brain for visual recognition.
Most cases of retinitis pigmentosa are diagnosed during the teenage years and at birth. Some patients who carry the genetic preposition may develop the disease in later years.
The later diagnosed case is usually mild with slow progression compared to those presented in the teen years and at birth.
Most common symptoms of patients with retinitis pigmentosa are difficulty seeing at night and a loss of side (peripheral) vision. However, at the disease progress into the later stage, most patients also experience tunnel vision.
Conventionally, the treatment of retinitis pigmentosa is totally depending on the condition. The aim of treatment is to slow the vision loss and improve the patient quality of life.
Bilberry is a species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern Europe.
The plant berry has been used as herbs in traditional medicine for the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea, gastritis, gastric ulcer, and duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, ulcerative colitis, anemia, cystitis, kidney disease, and psoriasis, diabetes, etc.
Researchers on finding a natural compound for the treatment of retinitis pigmentosa with not side effects examined the effects of Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) and lingonberry (Vacciniumvitis-idaea) containing high amounts of polyphenols (anthocyanins, resveratrol, and proanthocyanidins) against blue light a high-energy or short-wavelength visible light-induced retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa.
According to the results from the cultured murine photoreceptor (661 W) cells exposed to blue LED light following treatment with B-ext, L-ext, or their constituents (cyanidin, delphinidin, malvidin, trans-resveratrol, and procyanidin B2), B-ext, L-ext, NAC, and their active components improved the viability of 661 W cells against the blue light damage.
The efficacy was found to be attributed to the injection of tested compounds in inhibiting the generation of intracellular ROS induced by the blue LED light irradiation.
Furthermore, B-ext and L-d with also protected the cells integrity against the activation of proteins by stimuli associated with the production of production of proinflammatory cytokines.
Moreover, B-ext, L-ext, and NAC inhibited proteins involved in cell death and autophagy against cells damaged by blue light.
Dr. Ogawa K the lead scientist said, "These findings suggest that B-ext and L-ext containing high amounts of polyphenols exert protective effects against blue LED light-induced retinal photoreceptor cell damage mainly through inhibition of ROS production and activation of pro-apoptotic proteins".
In a murine model of photo-stressed retina, researchers examined the bilberry extract through a stomach tube in Balb/c mice (750 mg/kg body weight) light-induced visual function impairment.
According to the tested assays, bilberry extract suppressed photo-induced apoptosis in the photoreceptor cell layer and shortening of the outer segments of rod and cone photoreceptors.
Bilberry extracts also reduced the levels of photo-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers observed by the analysis.
In other words, bilberry inhibited the ER stress in the retina, and at least in part, in Müller glial cells.
Based on the findings, researchers suggested, "bilberry extract attenuates photo-induced apoptosis and visual dysfunction most likely, and at least in part, through ROS reduction, and subsequent ER stress attenuation in the retina".
Taken altogether, bilberry processed abundantly bioactive compounds may be considered a function remedy for the prevention and treatment of age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa, pending the validation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, the Potential Anti Gastric/ Stomach Cancer Remedy
Scientists may have found a herbal remedy for the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer with no side effects, according to studies.
Gastric cancer or stomach cancer is a condition characterized by the abnormal growth of cells in the stomach tissue.
Most cases of gastric cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the stomach tissue.
At stage 0, due to the gastric cancer cells being restricted or completely contained within the innermost layer of the lining, patients may not experience any symptoms.
However, at the later stage, the cancer cells can travel a distance away from the stomach to infect other tissue and organ, leading to secondary metastasis. If the tumor grows large enough, it may suppress the nearby blood vessels and nerve cells, causing blood to leak into the stomach and localized severe pain.
Besides common symptoms of cancers, patients with gastric cancer also experience some specific symptoms such as persistent abdominal (belly) pain., vague discomfort in the abdomen, a sense of fullness in the upper abdomen after eating a small meal, and heartburn or indigestion.
If you are having some of the above symptoms, please check with your doctor to rule out gastric cancer possibility.
Although there are many risk factors involved in the onset of the disease, such as family history, Helicobacter pylori infection, smoking, genetic preposition, certain stomach conditions, previous stomach surgery and type A blood, some researchers suggested that the most common cause of gastric cancer in the Western world is the Western diet-related disease.
Dr. Bertuccio P, the lead scientist at the Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri, in the concern of diet pattern in the risk of gastric cancer wrote, " An unfavorable role on GC emerged for the 'Western/unhealthy' dietary pattern, with an OR of 1.51 (95% CI: 1.21-1.89)" and "A favorable role on GC emerged for the 'Prudent/healthy', with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.75 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.63-0.90], for the highest versus the lowest category".
The results strongly indicated the risk of gastric cancer is substantially higher in the Western diet group compared to the lower risk of a healthy diet.
Arctostaphylos uva-ursi is one of the species of Bearberry, in the genus Arctostaphylos, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to northern North America, Asia, and Europe.
The herb plant has been used in traditional medicine as a diuretic agent and to treat urinary problems, including bladder infections, kidney infections, kidney stones, pelvic pain, etc.
The plant contains arbutin, ursolic acid, tannic acid, gallic acid, some essential oil and resin, hydroquinones tannins, phenolic glycosides, and flavonoids.
With an aim to find a natural ingredient or whole food for the treatment of gastric cancer, researchers at the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine examined the effects of ursolic acid isolated from bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) against the pathogenesis of gastric cancer characterized by excessive proliferation, abnormal differentiation, and reduced apoptosis.
Ursolic acid, extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine bearberry, inhibited gastric cancer cell proliferation and induced apoptosis.
Further assessment of anti-gastric cancer, researchers discovered that ursolic acid exhibited apoptotic activity through cancer cell degradation observed in the gastric cancer BGC-823 cells.
In other words, efficacy is associated with a translocation of cofilin-1 protein that activates the function of cytochrome c in programmed cell death from the mitochondria to the cytoplasm.
These results suggested that ursolic acid activated the function of proteins (the caspase cascade) associated with the cell death and apoptotic pathway.
Where Mitochondria are the major organelles involved in the biochemical execution of apoptosis
Dr. the lead scientist, after taking into account co and confounders said, "mitochondrial translocation of cofilin-1 might play a crucial role in the promotion of apoptosis and might be a key target for future treatment of human gastric cancer".
Taken altogether, Bearberry (herbal Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) processed a major compound of ursolic acid may be considered a functional remedy for the prevention and combined with other primary medicine for the treatment of gastric cancer, pending the confirmation of large sample size and multicenter human study.
However, intake of ursolic acid as a supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdoses and acute liver toxicity.

Herbal Ashwagandha Processes Lowering Cholesterol Property
Cholesterol produced by the liver plays an essential role in a moderate amount in orchestrating the production of steroid hormone and vitamin D, building strong cell walls, and aiding the digestive system in absorbing nutrients and fluids.
Hyperlipidemia or high blood cholesterol is a medical condition characterized by abnormally high levels of lipids in the blood.
Blood cholesterol can be classified into
* The high-density lipoprotein also known as good cholesterol processes a function to return cholesterol to the liver.
* The low-density lipoprotein is also known as "bad" cholesterol processed a function aforementioned health benefits in a moderate amount.
In a healthy individual, unused cholesterol is returned to the liver. However, overexpression of "bad" cholesterol due to the consumption of a high-fat diet and reduced levels of "good" cholesterol can cause bad cholesterol to remain in the bloodstream, leading to hyperlipidemia.
The healthy ratio of total blood cholesterol ("bad"/ "good") is any number that is less than 4.
Patients with hyperlipidemia are asymptomatic. However, over time hyperlipidemia can cause plaque to accumulate on the arterial wall, leading to atherosclerosis, a major cause of heart disease and stroke.
According to the statistics provided by the CDC, in 2015–2016, more than 12% of adults age 20 and older had total cholesterol higher than 240 mg/dL, and more than 18% had high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or “good”) cholesterol levels less than 40 mg/dL in the US.
Some researchers suggested that the hyperlipidemic prevalence in the Western world may correlate to the promotion of a high-fat diet over the past few decades.
Dr. Karam I, the lead scientist in examing the said, "Hyperlipidemia, a group of metabolic disorders characterized by the elevated levels of lipids, is a major modifiable risk factor for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease [5]. These lipids include cholesterol, cholesterol esters, phospholipids, and triglycerides. Increased levels of LDL are related to the development of atherosclerosis [15,16].
And, "The result showed that there was a significant increase in hyperlipidemia biomarker which includes TC, TG, LDL, and HDL. There were histological changes in organs which confirm the previous result of blood lipid. That means high-fat diet successfully induces hyperlipidemia in rats, to make disease model of hyperlipidemia.".
The life-long condition of hyperlipidemia is treatable. By a change of diet and daily moderate exercise, you may control the condition without medication.
Ashwagandha also known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean.
The herbal medicine has been considered Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered an anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.
On finding a potent compound for the treatment of heart disease, researchers examined the effects of Ashwagandha on lowering blood cholesterol.
The study included rats induced by a high-fat diet treated by aqueous extract of fruits of Withania coagulans for 7 weeks.
According to the tested analysis during the experiment, administration of the extract showed a significantly reduced elevated serum cholesterol, triglycerides and lipoprotein levels.
In triton-induced hypercholesterolemia., the aqueous extract of fruits of Withania coagulans exerted a significantly hypolipidemic activity.
Furthermore, according to the tested analysis of the liver tissues of treated hyperlipidemic rats, the extracts also inhibited the degenerative changes, compared to hyperlipidemic controls.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "The hypolipidemic effect of W. coagulans fruits was found to be comparable to that of an Ayurvedic product containing Commiphora mukkul".
Taken altogether, Ashwagandha may be considered a functional herb for lowering blood cholesterol, pending the result of larger sample size and multicenter study

Herbal Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, the Anti Diabetes Functional Remedy
Scientists may have found a medicinal plant for the treatment of diabetes with no side effects, according to the studies.
Diabetes is a medical and chronic condition characterized by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate glucose.
In other words, diabetes is a result of abnormally and chronically high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. Insulin resistance is a hallmark of diabetes. The disease is either caused by cells in the pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol.
Insulin receptors are areas on the outer part of a cell that allow the cell to bind with insulin in the blood. When the receptors are clogged up, the cell can not take glucose (sugar) from the blood and use it for energy.
Researchers do not know what causes insulin resistance in diabetic patients. However, researchers do know that long-term intake of a poor diet with high saturated and trans fat, red meat, and processed food is one of many risk factors associated with clogging up the insulin receptors sites, leading to high blood glucose.
Dr. David Hefner in the concern of the Western diet linked to type 2 diabetes, wrote, "The researchers surveyed 42,000 men over a 12-year period. The men's eating habits were divided into two groups: those who followed a Western diet and those who followed a "prudent" diet with fruit, vegetables, whole grain, fish and poultry. "Over the course of the study ... 1,321 new cases of Type 2 diabetes were diagnosed".
These results clearly suggested that by changing to a healthy diet pattern with high fruits and vegetables and reducing the intake of saturated and trans fat, red meat, and processed food, diabetes is preventable.
Arctostaphylos uva-ursi is one of the species of Bearberry, in the genus Arctostaphylos, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to northern North America, Asia, and Europe.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as a diuretic agent and for the treatment of urinary problems, including bladder infections, kidney infections, kidney stones, pelvic pain, etc.
The herbal plant contains arbutin, ursolic acid, tannic acid, gallic acid, some essential oil and resin, hydroquinones tannins, phenolic glycosides, and flavonoids.
Finding a natural formula for the treatment of diabetic symptoms that leads to the investigation of 7 plants and a herbal mixture used for the traditional treatment of diabetes in streptozotocin-diabetic mice conducted by the University of Ulster.
In streptozotocin diabetic mice, the formula was supplied as 6.25% by weight of the diet for 9 days.
The consumption of diets containing bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), significantly reduced the excessive hunger and abnormally large intake of solids and excessive thirst or excess water drinking associated with streptozotocin diabetes.
However, other herbal plants in the herbal formula such as bayberry (Cinnamomum tamala), meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria), Senna (Cassia occidentalis), and the herbal mixture did not alter these parameters.
Bearberry, mistletoe, and tarragon retarded body weight loss, and reduced symptoms of diabetes without significantly altering plasma glucose or insulin concentrations.
The results suggested that only bearberry, goldenseal, mistletoe, and tarragon can counter some of the symptoms of streptozotocin diabetes without affecting glycemic control.
Taken altogether, bearberry (Herbal Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) may be used as a functional remedy for the treatment of some diabetic symptoms, pending the confirmation of large sample size and multicenter in a human study

Dandelion(Taraxacum officinale) May Process Anti-Intestinal Metaplasia (IM) and Atypical Hyperplasia (AH), Researchers Say
The stomach located between the esophagus and the small intestine is a muscular, hollow, and important organ of the digestive tract.
The stomach plays a critical role in aiding the digestive system by secreting acid and enzymes that digest food induced by the stomach muscles that contract periodically, to churn the food and enhance digestion.
Atypical hyperplasia is a precancerous condition characterized by the accumulation of abnormal cells.
Intestinal metaplasia is a pre gastric cancer condition caused by the change of cells in the stomach.
The exact causes of the condition are unknown. However, some researchers suggested that smoking and infection caused by H. pylori infection, genetic preposition, and environmental factors are some risk factors associated with the onset of intestinal metaplasia.
Gastric cancer is a medical condition characterized by irregular and uncontrollable cell growth in the stomach lining in the beginning. At the advanced stage, the malignant cells can travel a distance away through blood and fluid circulation to infect other healthy tissue and organs.
Researchers do not know why some people with the same health condition are susceptible to the risk of gastric cancer, while others do not. The exact causes of gastric cancer are also unknown. However, some researchers suggested that Age, diet, and stomach disease, such as can increase the risk of developing gastric cancer.
Both atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer share the common symptoms of stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite,... and indigestion. However, common symptoms of unexpected weight loss and stomach ulcers can only be found in gastric cancer while iron deficiency anemia is found in the majority of patients with atrophic gastritis.
According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, in 2019, approximately, 27,510 cases of stomach cancer will be diagnosed (17,230 in men and 10,280 in women) and 11,140 people will die from gastric cancer (6,800 men and 4,340 women).
Overall, the 5-year survival rate for people with gastric cancer is 31%. Cancer diagnosed at the localized stage have a 5 years survival rate of 67%.
Dandelion is a herbaceous perennial plant, genus Taraxacum, belongings to the family Asteraceae, native to temperate regions of the world. It has been used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat gout, eczema, acne, gall bladder, kidney, liver, and urinary disorders, hypoglycemia, dyspepsia with constipation, edema, blood pressure, heart weakness, chronic joint, skin diseases, etc.
On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of gastric diseases, scientists examined the efficacy of Xiao Wei Yan Powder (XWYP) decoction on intestinal metaplasia (IM) and 104 cases of atypical hyperplasia (AH).
Where XWYP is a traditional Chinese Medicine formula containing Smilax glabrate, Hedyotis diffusae, Taraxacum mongolicum, Caesalpinia sappan, Paeonia alba, Cyperus rotundus, Bletilla striata, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, etc.
According to the results of 138 cases of intestinal metaplasia (IM) and 104 cases of atypical hyperplasia (AH) of the gastric mucosa of chronic gastritis that was treated by Xiao Wei Yan Powder (XWYP) orally 5-7g, for a period from 2-4 months, compared to control, the decoction showed a significant effect rate of IM was 91.3% and that of the AH was 92.16% compared to the control group of 21.3% and 14.46% respectively.
More precisely, XWYP not only had marked therapeutic effects for IM and AH but also showed no toxic effects in the animal experiments revealed no toxic effect,
These results strongly suggested that a safety guarantee was provided for its clinical application.
Taken altogether, Dandelion in a combination with other Chinese medicines may be considered a remedy for the treatment of intestinal metaplasia and atypical hyperplasia (AH), pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Turmeric Inhibits the Onset and Progression of Chronic Prostatitis
Prostatitis is a condition associated with the inflammation of the prostate and the areas around the prostate.
According to the statistics provided by the American Family Physician, approximately 8.2 percent of men in the US are living with prostatitis. The conditions account for 8 percent of visits to urologists, and up to 1 percent of visits to primary care physicians.
Believe it or not, in 2000, prostatitis cost over $84 million, including the charge of diagnosis and treatment.
The most common symptoms of prostatitis are painful, difficult, and/or frequent urinating, groin pain, rectal pain, abdominal pain and/or low back pain, fever, chills, and body aches.
In severe cases, patients may also experience symptoms of urethral discharge, painful ejaculation or sexual dysfunction, and blood in the urine.
The exact causes of prostatitis are not identified, some researchers suggested that nerve damage in the lower urinary tract caused by surgery or trauma to the area has been found to induce prostatitis in patients.
Conventionally, most cases of prostatitis are treated by antibiotics in cases of infection, alpha-blockers to relax the bladder neck, and muscle fibers, and anti-inflammatory medicine to ease pain and discomforts.
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as an anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
With an aim to find a potential and natural ingredient for the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as chronic prostatitis/ chronic pelvic pain syndrome type III (CP/CPPS), researchers examined the effect of turmeric on chronic bacterial prostatitis.
Phase II, the randomized, single-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial included 60 patients who were examined by the University of Catania from June 2015 to January 2016 we enrolled 60 consecutive due to CP/CPPS III.
At the end of the experiment, the treatment group showed a significant improvement in the National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index, IIEF-5 (+ 3.5; p < 0.01), particularly other symptomatic parameters compared to placebo.
Participants were then allocated to receive treatment (Group A) or placebo(Group B). Treatment consisted of rectal suppositories of Curcumin extract 350 mg (95%) and Calendula extracts 80 mg (1 suppository/die for 1 month). Patients of Group B received 1 suppository/die for 1 month of placebo.
The efficacy of the treatment with Curcumin and Calendula was associated with the reduction of inflammatory cytokines and of inflammatory cells.
Based on the findings, Dr. Morgia G, the lead researcher said, "In this phase II clinical trial, we showed the clinical efficacy of the treatment with Curcumin and Calendula in patients with CP/CPPS III".
Taken altogether, turmeric used alone or combined with Calendula may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of turmeric in the form of a supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose and acute liver toxicity.

Fennel, The Natural Free Radical Scavenger, Scientists Find
Fennel may be the next generative functional food with the potency in blocking the overexpression of free radicals in the induction of chronic illness, some scientists suggested.
Free radicals are highly reactive molecules with an unpaired electron that cause oxidation by stealing an electron from other molecules to give rise to a chain activity. Once free radical starts its domino effect, it can not be stopped until two free radical species react with each other to form a stable, non-radical adduct or are inhibited by the presence of antioxidants.
Antioxidants, on the other hand, are stable molecules that inhibit oxidation caused by free radicals.
The relationship between free radicals and antioxidant are summarized by Dr. V. Lobo, the lead author in the study "Free radicals, antioxidants, and functional foods: Impact on human health ", "A balance between free radicals and antioxidants is necessary for proper physiological function. If free radicals overwhelm the body's ability to regulate them, a condition known as oxidative stress ensues. Free radicals thus adversely alter lipids, proteins, and DNA and trigger a number of human diseases. Hence the application of an external source of antioxidants can assist in coping with this oxidative stress".
These explanations suggested that intake of antioxidants from the food sources in the stimulation of antioxidant enzymes in the body is beneficial in maintaining good health, However, the doctors continued, "Synthetic antioxidants such as butylated hydroxytoluene and butylated hydroxyanisole have recently been reported to be dangerous for human health. Thus, the search for effective, nontoxic natural compounds with antioxidative activity has been intensified in recent years".
Overexpression of free radicals or imbalance of the ratio of free radicals and antioxidants in the body can initiate oxidative stress. A prolonged period of oxidative stress in the human body plays a major part in the development of chronic and degenerative illnesses such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, aging, cataract, rheumatoid arthritis, and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species of the genus Foeniculum, belonging to Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), native to the Mediterranean.
The functional herb has been used in traditional and herbal medicine as a warming, carminative, antispasmodic, antidepressant agent to stimulate the appetite, ease indigestion, soothe coughing, reduce intestinal spasms, regulate the menstrual cycle, and relieve PMS,...
Fennel is an excellent source of natural antioxidants and contributed to the daily antioxidant diet. The functional food is found to process a free radical scavenging activity, particularly in the application of its phenolic and flavonoid.
In the examine the effects of fennel essential oil in the presence of overexpression of free radicals, researchers found, that injection of the oil exerts a strong antioxidant activity in comparison with butyrated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytoluene., however, injection of ethanol and water extracts of fennel showed less effective compared to essential oil.
Furthermore, in the evaluation of the essential oils of the fruits of three organically grown cultivars of Egyptian fennel (Foeniculum vulgare var. azoricum, Foeniculum vulgare var. dulce, and Foeniculum vulgare var. vulgare) in antibacterial and antioxidant effects, researchers showed that all three cultivars contain a great source of trans-Anethole, estragole, fenchone, and limonene.
All phytochemicals demonstrated significant activity in free radical scavenging, inhibited lipid peroxidation, and metal chelation.
Additional differentiation suggested that essential oils from the azoricum and dulce cultivars were more effective antioxidants than that from the vulgare cultivar and essential oils from 3 species display similar antimicrobial activities against two species of fungi, two species of Gram-negative and two species of Gram-positive bacteria.
More importantly, in the examine the effect of essential oil on fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) lipophilic secondary metabolites, researchers at the Avicenna Tajik State Medical University, discovered that
* The oil exhibited moderate antioxidant activities.
* The antioxidants in the essential oil are found to protect the healthy cells and stimulate the expression of free radicals in exerting cytotoxic activity against HeLa (human cervical cancer), Caco-2 (human colorectal adenocarcinoma), MCF-7 (human breast adenocarcinoma), CCRF-CEM (human T lymphoblast leukemia) and CEM/ADR5000 (adriamycin resistant leukemia) cancer cell lines;
* The most effective of the IC50 values are between 30-210 mg L-1.
These results suggested essential oil from fennel is processed as a great source of antioxidants with the function of balancing the ratio of free radicals in the body, thus preventing the initiation of oxidative stress.

Free radicals are highly reactive molecules with an unpaired electron that cause oxidation by stealing an electron from other molecules to give rise to a chain activity. Once free radical starts its domino effect, it can not be stopped until two free radical species react with each other to form a stable, non-radical adduct or are inhibited by the presence of antioxidants.
Antioxidants, on the other hand, are stable molecules that inhibit oxidation caused by free radicals.
The relationship between free radicals and antioxidant are summarized by Dr. V. Lobo, the lead author in the study "Free radicals, antioxidants, and functional foods: Impact on human health ", "A balance between free radicals and antioxidants is necessary for proper physiological function. If free radicals overwhelm the body's ability to regulate them, a condition known as oxidative stress ensues. Free radicals thus adversely alter lipids, proteins, and DNA and trigger a number of human diseases. Hence the application of an external source of antioxidants can assist in coping with this oxidative stress".
These explanations suggested that intake of antioxidants from the food sources in the stimulation of antioxidant enzymes in the body is beneficial in maintaining good health, However, the doctors continued, "Synthetic antioxidants such as butylated hydroxytoluene and butylated hydroxyanisole have recently been reported to be dangerous for human health. Thus, the search for effective, nontoxic natural compounds with antioxidative activity has been intensified in recent years".
Overexpression of free radicals or imbalance of the ratio of free radicals and antioxidants in the body can initiate oxidative stress. A prolonged period of oxidative stress in the human body plays a major part in the development of chronic and degenerative illnesses such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, aging, cataract, rheumatoid arthritis, and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species of the genus Foeniculum, belonging to Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), native to the Mediterranean.
The functional herb has been used in traditional and herbal medicine as a warming, carminative, antispasmodic, antidepressant agent to stimulate the appetite, ease indigestion, soothe coughing, reduce intestinal spasms, regulate the menstrual cycle, and relieve PMS,...
Fennel is an excellent source of natural antioxidants and contributed to the daily antioxidant diet. The functional food is found to process a free radical scavenging activity, particularly in the application of its phenolic and flavonoid.
In the examine the effects of fennel essential oil in the presence of overexpression of free radicals, researchers found, that injection of the oil exerts a strong antioxidant activity in comparison with butyrated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytoluene., however, injection of ethanol and water extracts of fennel showed less effective compared to essential oil.
Furthermore, in the evaluation of the essential oils of the fruits of three organically grown cultivars of Egyptian fennel (Foeniculum vulgare var. azoricum, Foeniculum vulgare var. dulce, and Foeniculum vulgare var. vulgare) in antibacterial and antioxidant effects, researchers showed that all three cultivars contain a great source of trans-Anethole, estragole, fenchone, and limonene.

Ginger, The Best for the Treatment of Diabetes and Diabetes Complications With No Side Effects
Ginger may have a potential and profound effect in regulating abnormally high blood sugar, some scientists suggested.
Hyperglycemia is a condition of abnormally high levels of glucose in the bloodstream.
According to the statistic, approximately, 30.3 million Americans, or 9.4% of the population, had diabetes. Approximately 1.25 million American children and adults have type 1 diabetes. And, hyperglycemia is a hallmark sign of diabetes(both type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes) and prediabetes.
Some researchers suggested that people who are living under prolonged periods of stress due to chronic illness or stress are associated with a higher risk of high blood sugar.
Other suggested that an unhealthy diet such as high in saturated and trans fat, red meat, processed food, and lack of physical exercise have many folds increased the risk for the onset of hyperglycemia.
In fact, shift workers accompanied by an unhealthy lifestyle are jointly associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Dr. Shan Z, in the concerns of the rotating night shift work and lifestyle factors in the risk of diabetes using the data of Nurses' Health Study (1988-2012) and Nurses' Health Study II (1991-2013) and comparing to the 143 410 women without type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or cancer at baseline, said, " The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios for type 2 diabetes were 1.31 (95% confidence interval 1.19 to 1.44) per five-year increment of the duration of rotating night shift work and 2.30 per unhealthy lifestyle factor (ever smoking, low diet quality, low physical activity, and overweight or obesity)".
"For the joint association of per five-year increment rotating night shift work and per unhealthy lifestyle factor with type 2 diabetes, the hazard ratio was 2.83 (2.15 to 3.73) with a significant additive interaction (P for interaction <0.001)".
How severe of the diabetes risk in nurses in the rotating shift accompanied by an unhealthy diet? According to the team, during 22-24 years of follow-up, 10 915 cases of incident type 2 diabetes occurred.
The risk of type 2 diabetes is even higher if each individual factor is also included.
These results clearly suggested, that the onset of diabetes is not caused by a single factor but associated with a group set of risk factors.
Luckily, most people with some of the above risk factors do not develop hyperglycemia or type 2 diabetes.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or ginger root, the second superfood used for thousands of years by mankind, is the genus Zingiber, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil.
The root has been used in traditional and Chinese medicine to treat dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc.
On finding a natural ingredient and whole food for the treatment of diabetes and diabetes complications, researchers examine the action of ginger in the diabetic population.
Selected mice fed either a high-fat diet or a standard diet for a period of 17weeks were given phloretin isolated from apple and [6]-gingerol isolated from ginger supplemented at two different doses.
Application of phloretin and [6]-gingerol inhibited the formation of AGEs by suppressing the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE).
Where Advanced glycation end products are proteins or lipids that become glycated as a result of exposure to sugars. The products can substantially worsen certain chronic diseases such as diabetes.
Phloretin or [6]-gingerol supplementation significantly reduced plasma glucose, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, AGEs, and insulin levels and enhanced GSH/GSSG ratio.
These results suggested that phloretin or [6]-gingerol supplementation not only inhibited the oxidative stress that causes abnormally high blood glucose but also improved the insulin resistance against the onset of diabetes complications in mice fed with a high-fat diet.
Furthermore, the assessment of the effect of ginger consumption on glycemic status, lipid profile and some inflammatory markers in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with the consumption of 1600 mg ginger versus 1600 mg wheat flour placebo daily for 12 weeks, also found that ginger reduced fasting plasma glucose, HbA1C, insulin, HOMA, triglyceride, total cholesterol, CRP and PGE₂ significantly compared with the placebo group (p < 0.05).
Ginger improved fasting glucose and parameters associated with the onset of insulin resistance without inducing any side effects.
Dr. Arablou T after taking into account co and confounders said, "Ginger improved insulin sensitivity and some fractions of lipid profile, and reduced CRP and PGE₂ in type 2 diabetic patients. Therefore ginger can be considered an effective treatment for the prevention of diabetes complications".
Taken altogether, ginger may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of diabetes and diabetes complications induced by abnormally high blood glucose.

Herbal Ashwagandha Inhibits the Onset of Progression of HIV Infection
Human immunodeficiency virus -1 (HIV-1) is one of 2 types of HIV precipitated by acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), transmitted through direct contact with HIV-infected body fluids, including blood, semen, and genital secretions,...
Human immunodeficiency virus HIV-1 is the most widespread type worldwide that can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic condition caused by the infection of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
According to statistics, AIDS is the fifth leading cause of death in the US.
People between the ages 25 and 44 in the United States are at substantially higher risk compared to other age groups.
Approximately 36.7 million people worldwide lived with HIV/AIDS in 2016, including, 2.1 million children less than 15 years of age.
According to epidemiological studies, people who serval sexual partners are the most at risk of HIV infection.
However, the virus can also transmit through infected blood transfusion, infected mothers to children.
Most people infected by the HIV virus may experience symptoms of fever, muscle aches, and joint pain similar to those of influenza in the early stage of the viral attacks.
According to epidemiological studies, people who have serval sexual partners are the most at risk of HIV infection.
However, the virus can also transmit through infected blood transfusion, infected mothers to children.
If untreated, the virus will slowly multiply and destroy the cells of the immune system, leading to chronic signs and symptoms of fever, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes,...
If an infected individual has the numbers of T-cell count below 200, the person is considered to have AIDs.
Ashwagandha also is known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, Middle East, and the Mediterranean.
The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered an anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.
In the urgency to discover a natural ingredient for the prevention of infectious diseases, researchers examined the clinical efficacy and safety of a new polyherbal preparation, Immu-25, in HIV-infected patients.
The open-label pilot study. included 36 patients (10 female, 26 male) with a mean age of 35 +/-10 years, with confirmed HIV infection with a CD4 count <500 cells/microL, and received two capsules of the test drug twice daily for 18 months.
According to the results of the study, the polyherbal preparation produced good symptomatic improvement within 6 months with an increase in mean (95% CI) weight from 58 (53-64)kg to 63 (56-69)kg, 64 (58-72)kg and 68 (62-74)kg after 6, 12 and 18 months of treatment, respectively.
The application decreased the incidence and severity of symptoms such as diarrhea, fatigue, anorexia, cough, and fever in the participants.
Furthermore, there was a decrease in the mean (95% CI) viral load from 326 438 (428 600-186 420) copies/mL to 180 495 (258 300-124 000) copies/mL and 22 069 (42 100-16 000) copies/mL after 6 and 12 months of treatment, respectively.
Most importantly, the decrease in viral load was associated with an increase in mean (95% CI) CD4 count from a baseline of 243 (203-388) cells/microL to 336 (263-486) cells/microL after 6 months of therapy, and this continued to rise to 527 (285-767) cells/microL (p < 0.001) and 618 (362-1012) cells/microL (p < 0.001) after 12 and 18 months of treatment, respectively.
However, mild gastrointestinal adverse effects had been reported by some of the participants.
Based on the evidence, researchers said, "herbal drug may have a good immunomodulatory effect and has potential as a co-therapeutic agent in the management of HIV infection. Further studies are warranted to confirm its therapeutic potential".
Taken altogether, Ashwagandha may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of HIV infection, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, the Potential and Natural Anti Type 4 Hypersensitivity with No Side Effects, Scientists Find
Scientists may have found a herbal medicine for the prevention and treatment of type 4 hypersensitivity with no side effects, according to studies.
Type 4 allergy or type 4 hypersensitivity is often called delayed-type hypersensitivity as the reaction takes several days to develop.
In other words, instead of happening right the way as that of other types, type 4 hypersensitivity typically develops at least 48 hours after exposure to an antigen.
The process that develops type 4 hypersensitivity involved the activation of the white blood cell cells in stimulating the release of cytokines and chemokines, and macrophages and cytotoxic CD8+ T cells associated with the body's adaptive immune response.
Compared to other types of allergy mediated by the antibody, type 4 allergy is a cell-mediated response.
Type 4 hypersensitivity can induce allergic contact dermatitis, occurred at the site where the antigen contacts the skin, then spread to other regions through contamination of the antigen.
Type 4 hypersensitivity is caused by atopic dermatitis, lung diseases associated with hypersensitivity, type 2 diabetes, and inflammation of the thyroid gland.
Treatment of type 4 hypersensitivity is totally depending on the severity of the disease. however, the most appropriate approach is to avoid the offending antigen.
Arctostaphylos uva-ursi is one of the species of Bearberry, in the genus Arctostaphylos, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to northern North America, Asia, and Europe.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as a diuretic agent and to treat urinary problems, including bladder infections, kidney infections, kidney stones, pelvic pain, etc.
The herbal plant contains arbutin, ursolic acid, tannic acid, gallic acid, some essential oil and resin, hydroquinones tannins, phenolic glycosides, and flavonoids.
In the concern of the widespread of Type IV hypersensitivity caused by contact dermatitis, researchers at the Kinki University examined the combined effect of arbutin isolated from the leaves of Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (L.) Spreng. (Bearberry leaf) and indomethacin on Type IV allergic reaction-induced immuno-inflammation, carrageenin-induced edema, and adjuvant-induced arthritis.
Injection of arbutin at a dose of 50 mg/kg 24 h after the application rapidly decreased the swelling of type IV allergic sheep-induced edema and adjuvant-induced arthritis by picryl chloride (PC-CD) compared to no reaction at the divided doses of 50 mg/kg.
Arbutin (p.o.) plus indomethacin (s.c.) exerted highly inhibitory effects on the swelling of PC-CD and sheep red cell delayed-type hypersensitivity (SRBC-DTH) compared to that of indomethacin alone.
Furthermore, arbutin (p.o.) and indomethacin (s.c.) in a given portion were simultaneously administered, the inhibitory effect was more potent than that of indomethacin alone in both carrageenin-induced edema and adjuvant-induced arthritis.
The results clearly suggested that arbutin may increase the inhibitory action of indomethacin on PC-CD, and SRBC-DTH against type 4 hypersensitivity.
Moreover, in the comparison of water extract (UW-ext) from the leaf of Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (L.) Spreng (Bearberry leaf) on the antiallergic and anti-inflammatory activities of dexamethasone ointment, researchers found one or 2% UW-ext ointment did not inhibit the ear swelling by picryl chloride-induced contact dermatitis (PC-CD) and carrageenin-induced paw edema.
However, combined with dexamethasone ointment (0.005 or 0.025%), UW-ext augmented the inhibitory effect of dexamethasone ointment (0.005 or 0.025%) on these allergic and inflammatory models with no side effects.
These findings showed that not all parts of herbal Arctostaphylos uva-ursi process anti-type 4 allergies, but combined with other therapy all parts augmented the significant anti-allergic and inflammatory activity with no side effects.
Additionally, the investigation of the antitype 4 allergies properties of the combined effect of 50% methanolic extract from Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (L.) Spreng. (bearberry leaf) and prednisolone also showed similar results as illustrated by the above 2 studies.
U-ext did not show an inhibitory effect on the swelling induced by PC-CD in divided doses of 100mg/kg immediately before and 16 h after the application of PC-CD, while it exhibited a significant therapeutic effect at a dose of 100 mg/kg or more once 24 h after the application.
Injection of the combination of U-ext (p.o.) and prednisolone (s.c.) simultaneously administered, exerted a greater inhibitory effect compared to that of prednisolone alone.
Researchers at the above studies wrote in the final report, "Bearberry leaf possesses a therapeutic effect against immuno-inflammation induced by PC-CD and also increases the inhibitory effect of prednisolone, and its active principle may be arbutin".
Taken altogether, herbal Herbal Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (Bearberry) may be considered a functional remedy for the prevention and combined with primary medicines for the treatment of type 4 hypersensitivity with no side effects.

Type 4 allergy or type 4 hypersensitivity is often called delayed-type hypersensitivity as the reaction takes several days to develop.
In other words, instead of happening right the way as that of other types, type 4 hypersensitivity typically develops at least 48 hours after exposure to an antigen.
The process that develops type 4 hypersensitivity involved the activation of the white blood cell cells in stimulating the release of cytokines and chemokines, and macrophages and cytotoxic CD8+ T cells associated with the body's adaptive immune response.
Compared to other types of allergy mediated by the antibody, type 4 allergy is a cell-mediated response.
Type 4 hypersensitivity can induce allergic contact dermatitis, occurred at the site where the antigen contacts the skin, then spread to other regions through contamination of the antigen.
Type 4 hypersensitivity is caused by atopic dermatitis, lung diseases associated with hypersensitivity, type 2 diabetes, and inflammation of the thyroid gland.
Treatment of type 4 hypersensitivity is totally depending on the severity of the disease. however, the most appropriate approach is to avoid the offending antigen.
Arctostaphylos uva-ursi is one of the species of Bearberry, in the genus Arctostaphylos, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to northern North America, Asia, and Europe.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as a diuretic agent and to treat urinary problems, including bladder infections, kidney infections, kidney stones, pelvic pain, etc.
The herbal plant contains arbutin, ursolic acid, tannic acid, gallic acid, some essential oil and resin, hydroquinones tannins, phenolic glycosides, and flavonoids.
In the concern of the widespread of Type IV hypersensitivity caused by contact dermatitis, researchers at the Kinki University examined the combined effect of arbutin isolated from the leaves of Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (L.) Spreng. (Bearberry leaf) and indomethacin on Type IV allergic reaction-induced immuno-inflammation, carrageenin-induced edema, and adjuvant-induced arthritis.
Injection of arbutin at a dose of 50 mg/kg 24 h after the application rapidly decreased the swelling of type IV allergic sheep-induced edema and adjuvant-induced arthritis by picryl chloride (PC-CD) compared to no reaction at the divided doses of 50 mg/kg.
Arbutin (p.o.) plus indomethacin (s.c.) exerted highly inhibitory effects on the swelling of PC-CD and sheep red cell delayed-type hypersensitivity (SRBC-DTH) compared to that of indomethacin alone.
Furthermore, arbutin (p.o.) and indomethacin (s.c.) in a given portion were simultaneously administered, the inhibitory effect was more potent than that of indomethacin alone in both carrageenin-induced edema and adjuvant-induced arthritis.
The results clearly suggested that arbutin may increase the inhibitory action of indomethacin on PC-CD, and SRBC-DTH against type 4 hypersensitivity.
Moreover, in the comparison of water extract (UW-ext) from the leaf of Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (L.) Spreng (Bearberry leaf) on the antiallergic and anti-inflammatory activities of dexamethasone ointment, researchers found one or 2% UW-ext ointment did not inhibit the ear swelling by picryl chloride-induced contact dermatitis (PC-CD) and carrageenin-induced paw edema.
However, combined with dexamethasone ointment (0.005 or 0.025%), UW-ext augmented the inhibitory effect of dexamethasone ointment (0.005 or 0.025%) on these allergic and inflammatory models with no side effects.
These findings showed that not all parts of herbal Arctostaphylos uva-ursi process anti-type 4 allergies, but combined with other therapy all parts augmented the significant anti-allergic and inflammatory activity with no side effects.
Additionally, the investigation of the antitype 4 allergies properties of the combined effect of 50% methanolic extract from Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (L.) Spreng. (bearberry leaf) and prednisolone also showed similar results as illustrated by the above 2 studies.
U-ext did not show an inhibitory effect on the swelling induced by PC-CD in divided doses of 100mg/kg immediately before and 16 h after the application of PC-CD, while it exhibited a significant therapeutic effect at a dose of 100 mg/kg or more once 24 h after the application.
Injection of the combination of U-ext (p.o.) and prednisolone (s.c.) simultaneously administered, exerted a greater inhibitory effect compared to that of prednisolone alone.
Researchers at the above studies wrote in the final report, "Bearberry leaf possesses a therapeutic effect against immuno-inflammation induced by PC-CD and also increases the inhibitory effect of prednisolone, and its active principle may be arbutin".
Taken altogether, herbal Herbal Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (Bearberry) may be considered a functional remedy for the prevention and combined with primary medicines for the treatment of type 4 hypersensitivity with no side effects.

Herbal Turmeric Optimizes the Intestinal Mucosal Barrier Function Against Pathogens
Intestinal mucosa processes a single cell layer of epithelial cells with a function to protect the intestine against invasive pathogens and ensure the function of the intestinal in nutrients adsorption.
Biologically, the intestinal protection of the intestinal mucosal barrier function is associated with
*Bile and gastric acid produced in the liver and stomach that only aid digestion but kills microorganism
* Defensins secretory epithelial cells with a function to protect the intestines against bacteria, fungi and many enveloped and nonenveloped viruses.
* Lysozyme is an enzyme that protects the intestine by causing the destruction of the cell walls of certain bacteria.
* Regenerating islet-derived protein 3 gammas (Reg3γ), an antibacterial lectin is a type of antimicrobial peptide found in the gut epithelial Paneth cells with a function to prevent microorganisms from coming into contact with the epithelial layer.
In other words, the intestinal mucosal barrier plays an essential role in the separation of the inside of the body from the outside environment, particularly in harmful microorganisms.
Dr. Oshima T the lead scientist in the examination of light junctions (TJs), the most important component for the construction of a constitutive barrier of epithelial cells that regulates the permeability of the barrier by tightly sealing the cell-cell junctions, wrote, "Gastrointestinal diseases including reflux esophagitis, inflammatory bowel disease, functional gastrointestinal disorders, and cancers may be regulated by these molecules, and disruption of their functions leads to chronic inflammatory conditions and chronic or progressive disease".
And, "regulation of the barrier function of epithelial cells by regulating the expression and localization of TJ proteins is a potential new target for the treatment of these diseases".
More precisely, by improving the intestinal mucosal barrier function, diseases associated with the gastrointestinal tract may be preventable.
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as an anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
With an aim to find a potential ingredient for the protection of the intestinal mucosal barrier, researchers examined the effects of curcumin's extensive pharmacological effects, on gastrointestinal diseases.
According to the analysis, curcumin exerted protective effects on the intestinal mucosal barrier through multiple pathways.
More precisely, curcumin protected the tissues of the intestinal mucosal barrier by
* By reducing the production of proinflammatory cytokines in orchestrating cell damage.
* By inhibiting the oxidative stress caused by overexpression of free radicals in facilitating the onset of chronic inflammation in the initiation of intestinal mucosal damage.
* By reducing levels of bacteria in the induction of infection that may weaken the function of the intestinal mucosal barrier.
Moreover, curcumin also protected the cells of intestinal mucosa against apoptosis.
In additional differentiation of the tested assays, researchers also found that curcumin also balances the ratio of gut microbiota associated with the regulation of intestinal microecology and intestinal immune response which plays a critical role in enhancing the intestinal mucosal barrier function.
Taken altogether, turmeric may be considered a supplement for the improvement of intestinal mucosal barrier function, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of turmeric in the form of a supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose and acute liver toxicity.

Herbal Turmeric, A Natural And Potential Treatment of Chagas Heart Disease
Chagas disease (CD) is a medical condition caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi.
According to the statistics, approximately 6 million people worldwide are living with Chagas disease. The majority of patients reside in Mexico, Central America, and South America,
Chagas heart disease can be classified into
* Acute Chagas heart disease is characterized by the inflammation of the heart, gastrointestinal tract (mainly esophagus and colon), meninges, and central and peripheral nervous tissues. Untreated symptomatic patients in this phase may face a roughly 1% chance of death in the acute period, usually the result of severe myocarditis or meningoencephalitis
* The indeterminate form of Chagas heart disease is characterized by small foci of mild chronic myocarditis, with interstitial edema, early fibrosis, and infiltration by lymphocytes, macrophages, and plasma cells. Most patients with the indeterminate form will progress to the chronic form of Chagas heart disease such as dilated cardiomyopathy, at a rate of 1.85% to 7% annually.
* The chronic form of Chagas heart disease is characterized by cardiomegaly and increased cardiac mass, thinning of the ventricular walls, and aneurysmal lesions in various regions of the LV and right ventricle (RV).
Dr. Edimar Alcides Bocchi, the lead scientist in the treatment of Chagas heart disease wrote, "Pharmacological treatment and antiarrhythmic therapy for ChHD is mostly based on results for other etiologies. Heart transplantation is an established, valuable therapeutic option in refractory ChHD".
And, "Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators are indicated for the prevention of secondary sudden cardiac death. Specific etiological treatments should be revisited and reserved for select patients. Understanding and management of ChHD need improvement, including the development of randomized trials".
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belongings to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as an anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and for the treatment of flatulence, bloating, appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
With an aim to find a potential compound for the treatment of Chagas heart disease, caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi., researchers examined the anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective properties of curcumin (Cur).
The study included oral therapy with Cur on T. cruzi-mediated cardio-vasculopathy in acutely infected mice and in vitro, the response of parasite-infected human microvascular endothelial cells treated with this phytochemical.
According to the tested assays, oral Cur therapy showed a reduced inflammatory cell infiltration of myocardial arteries without lowering parasite levels in the tested infected mice.
Furthermore, mice treated with Cur showed significantly decreased vessel inflammation scores (p < 0.001), and vascular permeabilities compared to mice treated with the phosphate-buffered saline-receiving group.
Moreover, levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and ET-1 secretion involved in vascular constriction were also inhibited by the treatment of Cur.
Additionally, proteins and signaling pathways that promote the generation of inflammatory agents are also inhibited by the injection of Cur.
In other words, curcumin (Cur) exerted the anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective properties against parasite-induced the onset of Chagas heart disease.
Based on the findings researchers wrote, "These findings identify new perspectives for exploring the potential of Cur-based interventions to ameliorate Chagas heart disease".
Taken altogether, turmeric processed abundantly bioactive compound curcumin may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of Chagas heart disease, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of turmeric in the form of a supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose and acute liver toxicity.
