Deighton1 1 School of Science, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia, 2 Biology, Section Microbiology, School of Applied Sciences, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia In recent years scientists worldwide have realized that the effective life span of any antimicrobial agent is limited, due to increasing development of resistance by microorganisms. Consequently, numerous studies have been conducted to find new alternative sources of antimicrobial agents, especially from plants. The aims of this project were to examine the antimicrobial properties of essential oils distilled from Australian-grown Ocimum tenuiflorum (Tulsi), to quantify the volatile components present in flower spikes, leaves and the essential oil, and to investigate the compounds responsible for any activity. Broth micro-dilution was used to determine the minimum Edited by: Yuji Morita, inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Tulsi essential oil against selected microbial pathogens.

  • Oregano: a Wonder Herb
    Harini N S /J. Pharm. Sci. & Res. Vol. 6(3), 2014, 127 - 129 Oregano: a Wonder Herb Harini. N.S. Savitha Dental College Abstract: Oregano is a herb that is a member of the mint family. It is closely related to marjoram, even though the flavors differ widely. The common variety of oregano bears the scientific (latin) name of Organum vulgare. Although it is a common ingredient in foods around the world, more is used in perfumes than is consumed. Oregano is a powerful antimicrobial ,because it contains an essential compound called “carvacol”.The essential oil of “HIMALAYAN OREGANO” has strong antibacterial properties that can even kill the hospital superbug MRSA. It has also got anti inflammatory properties with an active ingredient known as beta- caryophyllin(e-bcp) which is used against disorders like osteoporosis. It is also a rich source of vitamin k(promotes bone growth, maintainence of bone density and production of blood clotting proteins and a dietary antioxidant(contains very high concentrations of antioxidants). It also protects our cells against free radicals. Keywords: Perennial herb, antioxidant blue berries , beneficial effects, actively transport nutrients, “functional food”. INTRODUCTION: is stated that eating a lot of oregano can help repel Oregano-it is a niche crop in Yuma country, along with the mosquitoes. Oregano has many of medical attributes but it other herbs grown in that area.The fresh herb is grown and contains further essential oils. These oils make it very much packed here in Yuma and this is flown to various US more antiseptic in action, which is both externally and locales and later used in a variety of culinary tests and it is internally.

  • Oregano Essential
    Oregano Origanum vulgare 15 mL PRODUCT INFORMATION PAGE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Oregano is one of the most potent and powerful essential oils and has been used for centuries in traditional practices. The primary chemical components of Oregano is carvacol, a phenol that possesses antioxidant properties when ingested. Due to its high phenol content, caution should be taken when inhaling or diffusing Oregano; only one to two drops is needed. Additionally, Oregano should be diluted with a carrier oil when applied to the skin. One drop taken internally each day can help maintain healthy immune function; Oregano can be taken more frequently as needed to further support the immune system.* In addition to being a popular cooking spice, Oregano also supports healthy digestion and respiratory function when taken internally.* Oregano’s aroma acts as an enhancer and equalizer in essential oil blends. USES Application: • Take one drop in a veggie cap or 4 fl. oz. of liquid daily to Plant Part: Oregano Herb maintain healthy immune function.* Extraction Method: Steam distillation • Add one to two drops to a veggie capsule to support Aromatic Description: Herbaceous, sharp, green, healthy respiratory function.* camphoraceous Main Chemical Components: Carvacrol, thymol • Put one drop in place of dried oregano in spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, or on a roast. • Put 10 drops in a 16-ounce spray bottle with water for a PRIMARY BENEFITS surface cleaner. • Use on surface as a powerful cleansing and DIRECTIONS FOR USE purifying agent Diffusion: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of choice. • Supports a healthy immune system, healthy digestion, and respiratory function when Internal use: Dilute one drop in 4 fl.

Extracts from giant hyssop and catnip have a significant bioactivity, antibacterial and antioxidant activity (Suschke 2007; Zielińska and Matkowski, 2014; Mihaylova 2013). This literature review wants to emphasize the value of these two plants and the opportunity of using them to obtain bioactive extracts with applicability in beekeeping for different pest control. Different parts of the mentioned plants were used for the determination of active principles from macerates and essential oils. Spectrophotometric methods as well as high performance liquid chromatography and gasAgastache chromatography foeniculum are as generally used for determination of bioactive principles from theTribolium classes ofcastaneum polyphenols, flavonoids, carotenoids andRhyzopertha aromatic acids.dominica Remarkable results have been obtained Ephestia using kuehniella the essential oil from Plodia interpunctellaan insecticide for the control of pests like the Red flour beetle ( Herbst), Lesser grainNepeta borer cataria( F.), Mediterranean flour mothStaphylococcus( aureus) Klebsiellaand t h e pneumoniaeIndian meal Pseudomonasmoth ( aeruginosa, Escherichia) from the coligrain and and Bacillus food warehouses subtillis (Ebadollahi,et al., 2011).

Since its discovery as an uncharacterized transmembrane protein in human fibroblasts, TRPA1 has become one of the most intensively studied ion channels. Its function has been linked to regulation of heat and cold perception, mechanosensitivity, hearing, inflam- mation, pain, circadian rhythms, chemoreception, and other processes. Some of these proposed functions remain controversial, while others have gathered considerable experimental support. A truly polymodal ion channel, TRPA1 is activated by various stimuli, including electrophilic chemicals, oxygen, temperature, and mechanical force, yet the molecular mechanism of TRPA1 gating remains obscure. In this review, we discuss recent advances in the understanding of TRPA1 physiology, pharmacology, and molecular function.

  • Native Or Suitable Plants City of Mccall
    Native or Suitable Plants City of McCall The following list of plants is presented to assist the developer, business owner, or homeowner in selecting plants for landscaping. The list is by no means complete, but is a recommended selection of plants which are either native or have been successfully introduced to our area. Successful landscaping, however, requires much more than just the selection of plants. Unless you have some experience, it is suggested than you employ the services of a trained or otherwise experienced landscaper, arborist, or forester. For best results it is recommended that careful consideration be made in purchasing the plants from the local nurseries (i.e. Cascade, McCall, and New Meadows). Plants brought in from the Treasure Valley may not survive our local weather conditions, microsites, and higher elevations. Timing can also be a serious consideration as the plants may have already broken dormancy and can be damaged by our late frosts. Appendix B SELECTED IDAHO NATIVE PLANTS SUITABLE FOR VALLEY COUNTY GROWING CONDITIONS Trees & Shrubs Acer circinatum (Vine Maple). Shrub or small tree 15-20' tall, Pacific Northwest native. Bright scarlet-orange fall foliage. Excellent ornamental. Alnus incana (Mountain Alder). A large shrub, useful for mid to high elevation riparian plantings. Good plant for stream bank shelter and stabilization. Nitrogen fixing root system. Alnus sinuata (Sitka Alder). A shrub, 6-1 5' tall. Grows well on moist slopes or stream banks. Excellent shrub for erosion control and riparian restoration. Nitrogen fixing root system. Amelanchier alnifolia (Serviceberry). One of the earlier shrubs to blossom out in the spring.
