Abstract Infection with Helicobacter pyloriis the most common cause of stomach and duodenal ulcers. About more than 80 % of people are infected with H. pylori in developing countries. H. pylori uses urease enzyme product “ammonia” in order to neutralize and protect itself from the stomach acidic condition and urease enzyme activity has been shown to be essential to the colonization of H. pylori. Inhibitory activity of 20 traditional medicinal plants were examined and evaluated against Jack bean urease activity by Berthelot reaction to obtains natural sources of urease inhibitors. Each herb was extracted using 80% aqueous methanol, then tested its IC50 value was determined. Eight of the whole 20 studied plants crude extracts were found the most effective with IC50 values of less than 100 µg/mL including Laurus nobilis, Zingiber officinale, Nigella sativa, Angelica archangelica, Acorus calamus, Allium sativum,Curcuma longa, and Citrus aurantium extracts, from which most potent urease inhibitory was observed for Zingiber officinale, Laurus nobilis, and Nigella sativa with IC50 values of 48.54, 48.69 and 59.10 µg/mL, respectively.

  • TO COPE with Stress…
    TO COPE WITH Stress ….. For the majority of the population life throws us unexpected curves, short or long lasting, in which we are forced to deal with and move on. This is an inevitable fact of life. Unfortunately, these stressors of life take their tole on our physiology, stripping us of some of our most precious resources...b vitamins. This is one of the reasons why sometimes after dealing with prolonged stress we feel like we just finished the Tour de France on foot. Interestingly, the nutraceutical universe does in fact provide a means to replenish these precious resources and at the same time, help ease the potential of flying off the handle when the stress volcano is on the verge of eruption. _____________________________________________________________________________ What do B Vitamins do? One of the major physiological damage pathways that stress initiates is activation of slight to moderate Our bodies have the amazing ability to convert sympathetic responses. This initiates the fight-or- macronutrients from food into usable potential and flight response and activation of the hypothalamic- kinetic energy through myriads of biochemical pituitary-adrenal axis, producing catecholamines and pathways. We know that these reactions are catalyzed cortisol, respectively. Catecholamine (adrenaline and by enzymes (globular proteins that speed up reaction noradrenaline) and corticosteroid secretion ultimately rates), but do enzymes have on/off switches? As ends up in glycogenolysis, lipolysis, proteinolysis, much as enzymes have the ability to speed up and activation of myriads of different biochemical reactions, most enzymes require coenzymes and pathways. As previously stated, the majority of the cofactors (small organic and inorganic molecules that enzymes involved in these pathways require b are required by enzymes to carry out their catalytic vitamins as coenzymes.

  • Shichangpu the Perfume Industry and As a Flavoring for Pipe Tobacco
    Medicinal Quality The Acorus plant family represents the source of one of the world’s most widely used medicinals. In Egypt, the Chester Beatty Papyrus VI mentioned Acorus as an ingredient for a digestive plaster around 1,300 BC. In ancient Europe, Acorus was a symbol of love, lust and affection. The calamus variety, often referred to as Sweet Flag, was added to absinthe and digestive bitters, used in Shichangpu the perfume industry and as a flavoring for pipe tobacco. In Ayurvedic medicine, Acorus calamus is called Vacha, Acorus gramineus and revered for its ability to transmute Kundalini energy, rejuvenate the brain and stimulate self-expression. In Sanskrit, the term Vacha literally means “speaking,” mirroring a quality that is also expressed in the herb’s Chinese name: the ancient word chang in Shichangpu Heiner Fruehauf originally signifies “splendid expression.” In North America, moreover, Dakota warriors used to apply the root paste to their faces in order to calm the senses and conquer fear when facing an enemy. In ancient China, the herbal classic Shen Nong bencao jing lists Shichangpu as a top grade medicinal, a classification generally reserved for materials that promote spiritual enlightenment and longevity, and are considered safe to consume on a daily basis. The Daozang, China’s collection of esoteric Daoist texts, contains a piece of writing entitled “Changpu zhuan” (A Biography of Acorus), which classicalchinesemedicine.org © 2014 heiner fruehauf classicalpearls.org page 1 shichangpu: acorus gramineus points out that the plant synthesizes the powers of all five Traditional Terroir Considerations elements—exhibiting green leaves, red flowers, white (didao yaocai) joints, yellow core, and black root—and thus represents “a magic elixir for practitioners of immortality rituals.” In India and Europe, it is the calamus variety that is used almost exclusively in herbal remedies and food flavorings.

    Plant Guide status (e.g., threatened or endangered species, state PALEYELLOW IRIS noxious status, and wetland indicator values). Paleyellow iris is listed as an invasive, banned, prohibited, Iris pseudacorus L. designated, or noxious weed in Connecticut, Plant Symbol = IRPS Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Washington. Contributed by: USDA NRCS Montana State Office Weediness This plant may become weedy or invasive in some regions or habitats and may displace desirable vegetation if not properly managed. Please consult with your local NRCS Field Office, Cooperative Extension Service office, state natural resource, or state agriculture department regarding its status and use. Weed information is also available from the PLANTS Web site at http://plants.usda.gov. Please consult the Related Web Sites on the Plant Profile for this species for further information. This species is weedy in many riparian habitats. Description General: Paleyellow iris is perennial and grows from a stout rhizome ranging in diameter from 0.4 to 1.6 inches (1-4 centimeters). The sap of the rhizome is black. Roots are normally four to eight inches (10-20 centimeters) long, but may reach lengths of 12 inches (30 centimeters). The hairless (glabrous) plants form clones when rhizomes separate. Each individual (ramet) produces 10 leaves covered with a fine waxy powder giving the leaves a whitish or bluish (glaucous) cast. The sword-shaped leaves have a raised midrib and are about 0.4 to 1.2 inches (10-30 centimeters) wide. Leaves range from 20 to 40 inches (50-100 centimeters) in length, or about as long as Figure 1.

However, a comprehensive review of plant-based anxiolytics has been absent to date. Thus, our aim was to provide a comprehensive narrative review of plant-based medicines that have clinical and/or preclinical evidence of anxiolytic activity. We present the article in two parts. In part one, we reviewed herbal medicines for which only preclinical investigations for anxiolytic activity have been performed. In this current article (part two), we review herbal medicines for which there have been both preclinical and clinical investigations for anxiolytic activity.

As a systemic approach, metabolomics provides an oppor- tunity to clarify the action mechanism of TCMs, TCM syndromes or after TCM treatment. This review aims to provide the metabolomics evidence available on TCM-based therapeutic measures against viral pneumonia. Metabolomics has been gradually applied to the efcacy evaluation of TCMs in treatment of viral pneumonia and the metabolomics analysis exhibits a systemic metabolic shift in lipid, amino acids, and energy metabolism. Currently, most studies of TCM in treatment of viral pneumonia are untargeted metabolomics and further validations on targeted metabolomics should be carried out together with molecular biology technologies.
