ABSTRACT Increasing evidence of fungicide-resistant toxinogenic and pathogenic fungal species is obvious. Looking for new possibilities of antifungal treatment or sources of antifungal substances is a major problem. Some medicinal plants exert strong antifungal properties and could be conveniently used as a promising alternative source for presently problematic antifungal treatment in many areas with respect to their natural origin. In this study, antifungal activities of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (Aizoaceae); Blackiella aellen, Arthrocnemon glaucum and Atriplex halimus (Chenopodiaceae), Thymelaea hirsute (Thymelaeaceae), Carduus g e t u l u s , A t r a c t y l i s carduus a n d E c h i n o p s spinosissimus (Compositae), Nicotiana glauca (Solanaceae), Alhagi maurorum (Fabaceae) species were investigated. The fungal effects of these plants were tested by agar tube dilution method using Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus, Alternaria alternate, Rhizoctnia solani, Pythium ultimum, Bipolaris oryzae, Rhizopus,

    The Antifungal Properties Of Oregano Oi

    Oregano is a traditional herb that is known for its natural immune support. Its oil contains carvacrol, a monoterpene phenol that serves as its primary germ-killing ingredient, and it provides many of the health benefits of the oregano. It also contains thymol, a powerful substance which is also a monoterpene phenol and is a natural fungicide with antiseptic properties. Esters are also strong antifungal agents, and two of these are abundant in oregano oil, namely linalyl acetate and geranyl acetate. Together, these substances make oregano oil a great natural alternative to treat infections. These substances also made the researchers see the potential of oregano oil as a possible…

    Prescription Opiates

    Prescription depressants are responsible for fourteen percent of overdoses while street drugs, such as marijuana, are guilty for thirty-nine percent of drug overdoses (Maxwell 267). Statistics prove the prescription drug epidemic that adolescents and adults face. Teenagers in suburbs and rural areas are more frequently exposed to prescription and illegal opiates due to its marketability and highly addictive properties. As consumers of prescription opiates build a tolerance, the addict begins to find cheaper opiates, such as cocaine and heroin, to satisfy their craving. Prescription opiates, administered by medical doctors, are commonly used to relieve sports injuries and other traumas. Doctors…

    Diseases and wound infections cause by the bacteria Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are serious threats to the society, causing minor to major health afflictions. Certain medicines and health practices were tried to cure and eradicate this said bacterium but these bacteria continue to grow. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Sambong leaves, Onion, and Takip Kuhol extract as an antibacterial agent for the said pathogens. The three bacteria Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were subjected to five treatments: Treatment A with pure Sambong leaves extract, Treatmetn B with Onion extract, Treatment C with pure Takip Kuhol leaves extract, Treatment D with Amoxicillin, and Treatment E, the control setup, with distilled water (sample free-disc). From the Microbiological Assay Plate Testing, the zone of inhibition was determined. The collection of Sambong leaves, Onion and Takip Kuhol leaves was grinded and was submerged in a 95% ethyl alcohol. After 24 hours of submersion, the treatments were put into water bathing for the evaporation of ethyl alcohol. The extract produced was then brought to the testing center and was tested through a Microbiological Assay Plate Testing. The zones of inhibition were determined after the test. Results show that the tested extract inhibited the bacteria S. typhimurium, S. aureus and Ps. Aeruginosa. In agreement with the findings amd observation, the researchers concluded that the Sambong leaves, Onion, and Takip Kuhol leaves extract is effective as an antibacterial to S. typhimurium, S. aureus and Ps.…

    The Neem tree (Azadirachta indica) is a tropical evergreen tree native to India and is also found in other southeast countries. In India, neem is known as “the village pharmacy” because of its healing versatility, and it has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for more than 4,000 years due to its medicinal properties. Neem is also called ‘arista’ in Sanskrit- a word that means ‘perfect, complete and imperishable’. The seeds, bark and leaves contain compounds with proven antiseptic, antiviral, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer and antifungal uses. The Sanskrit name ‘nimba’ comes from the term ‘nimbati syasthyamdadati’ which means ‘to give good health’.…
