Abstract:

Constipation is a gastrointestinal disorder commonly found among people in all age groups and physical states. If left untreated, constipation can result in more severe illnesses or even increase the risk of colon cancer. Treatment of constipation can be carried out using medicinal or non-medicinal approaches. Non-medicinal approaches involve the modification of healthcare behavior, such as consumption of food with a high-fiber content, intake of plenty of water and improvement of sleep quality and the application of therapeutic abdominal massage. Applying a randomized-controlled trial research design, the present study aims to compare Thai traditional abdominal massage and Senokot in terms of their efficacy in relieving constipation. The subjects were 40 patients diagnosed with constipation using the Rome III criteria. They were randomized into the treatment group (n=20) and the control group (n=20). The former received a 50min Thai traditional abdominal massage daily for seven days, whereas the latter took two tablets of Senokot daily before bedtime for seven days. The research instruments were survey questionnaires, food and beverage consumption and defecation form and the Bristol stool chart. It was found that although both the Thai traditional abdominal massage and Senokot could effectively increase the frequency of defecation, only the massage did not cause undesirable side effects or complications such as irritation to the intestinal mucosa barrier. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that Thai traditional abdominal massage should be a better treatment option for constipation than Senokot.

Abstract:

Gastro-esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a chronic disorder related to retrograde flow of gastroduodenal contents in to oesophagus or adjacent organs causing troublesome symptoms and complications. It is a highly prevalent condition and has a high impact on quality of life of patient. Reflux symptoms could be caused by oesophageal hypersensitivity as a result of visceral-neural pathway dysfunction. The cardinal symptoms of GERD are heart burn and regurgitation and other symptoms include nausea, globus sensations and odynophagia. GERD is a clinical manifestation occurring due to the excessive reflux of acidic gastric contents into the esophagus causing varying degree of symptomatic irritation or injury to the esophageal mucosa. Milk decoction of Liquorice root (Yashtimadhu ksheerapaka) is a formulation prepared by processing the milk with Liquorice root. The studies have shown that chemicals in Liquorice root (Yashtimadhu) decreases the swelling of mucous membrane in inflammatory gastric conditions and milk will act as a media and conveyor of medicinal properties to cells. Therapeutic attributes of Liquorice root (Yashtimadhu) buffer the excess acid secretion and will balance the normal physiology. In Ayurvedic literatures anti-inflammatory, antiulcer and antiemetic property of Liquorice root (Yashtimadhu) were also discussed. Here is a single group clinical study by 50 patients using milk decoction of Liquorice root (Yashtimadhu ksheerapaka) for a period of two months. It was successfully in treating symptoms of GERD and patients experienced reduction in heartburn, regurgitation and nausea.

Abstract:

Thai traditional antinausea remedy is drug registered in the National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM) for the treatment of blood circulation disorders, dizziness, fatigue and insomnia. Antinausea remedies have long been used, but their effects and action mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aimed to examine the hypnotic with mechanistic study and its anxiolytic capabilities. Healthy adult male Swiss albino mice were used for the study. Thiopental sodium-induced sleeping time with GABAergic activity was evaluated. The latent period and sleeping time of aqueous extract groups were recorded and compared to the control group and pretreated GABA antagonistic blocker group by observing the righting reflex. Aqueous extracts at doses of 10, 50 and 100 mg/kg significantly augmented the latent time between waking and onset of sleep. Sleeping times of mice were also prolonged at the same dose with latent phase. In addition, extract at a dosage of 100 mg/kg pretreated with flumazenil reduced latent time compared to negative control and also shortened sleeping times (P<0.05). In addition, anti-anxiety was also investigated using evaluated plus maze test, aqueous extract at 10 mg/kg marginally decreased the time rodents spent in the closed arms, whereas 50 and 100 mg/kg greatly increased the time rodents spent in the open arms of the plus maze (P<0.05). It is concluded that the aqueous extract has potential as a hypnotic and anti-anxiety effect. Our findings can be used to ensure that proper precautions and drug correctly used. Further studies are required to determine the pharmacodynamics of Thai traditional antinausea remedy and analyze its chemical metabolism to discover drug absorption and elimination.

The main issue is in the medical claims of the products which in need for scientific and clinical trials evidences, secondly the regulations of pharmaceutical firms such as tablets, capsules and syrup forms. These forms as per regulations of Saudi food and drug authority that registration as herbal and health product with drug sector in need for CTDs and licensing of the manufacturing site by SFDA, which worth a lot (up to 50,000$). For this reason, manufacturers facing problems with registration of the products within Saudi market.

Abstract:

Ayahuasca is a plant medicine prepared from two Amazonian plants and is part of the vast pharmacopeia of indigenous South American traditional medicine. This decoction possesses psychedelic properties and has been used for centuries for healing purposes in cultural and shamanic ritualistic practices among tribes of the Amazon basin. Syncretic religions in Brazil have also been founded and based on drinking Ayahuasca as a sacrament. In recent decades, people from around the world have increasingly sought to partake in ayahuasca ceremonies. In western societies practices of ayahuasca drinking have emerged varying between religious, spiritual, therapeutic, mindfulness-based and neo-shamanic circles. Online surveys and current research convey that ayahuasca use is associated with improvements in general well-being and benefits within a spectrum of psychological and mindfulness-based parameters. Increasing research explores its therapeutic potential for mental health and addictions disorders. On the other hand, although studies confirm its low toxicity, some risks associated with ayahuasca use are connected to dangers of mixing analogue substances to induce a more intense experience, inexperienced individual use by ordering it on the internet, lack of support previous to and following the experience, misinformation regarding potential interactions (e.g. particularly with serotonergic anti-depressants), contraindications with certain medical and mental health diagnoses. This paper reviews the potential benefits and dangers of Ayahuasca use and suggestions for future research. Literature review, internet keyword search of ayahuasca retreats happening around Europe and USA and on harms and adverse experiences on thematic forums and Facebook support groups.

Abstract:

Many young men, women and even the elderly are addicted to Cannabis intake abuse despite its predictable toxicological consequences. In this study we studied the toxic effects of oral administration of methanol extract of Cannabis sativa seeds using total of forty male Wistar rats. Animals randomized were into five groups (n=8 rats) of approximately equal weight. Group-1 received 100 mg/kg of the of the extract, group-2 received 200 mg/kg of the extract, group-3 received 300 mg/kg dosage of the extract, group-4 received 2 ml of virgin olive oil (vehicle control) and group-5 received distilled water (normal control) for 14 days. The rationale behind the vehicle control group is to show that the vehicle did not have any extra cytological/histological effect. The proximate properties show: Moisture content (6.69±0.14%), protein content (19.10±0.01%), ash content (11.84±0.02%), fat (19.33±0.00%), crude fiber (18.87±0.00%), carbohydrate (43.04%), dry matter (80.91±0.14%) and oil absorption capacity (1.87±0.00%). The anti-nutrients were as follows: alkaloids (3.15±0.01 mg/100 g), flavonoids (2.82±0.01 mg/100 g), saponins (6.10±0.01%), tannins (2.14±0.01 mg/100 g), cyanogenic glycosides (0.10±0.01 mg/100 g) and phenols (0.27±0.01 mg/100 g). The mineral content of the sample were potassium (13.73±0.01 mg/100 g), phosphorus (10.00±0.02 mg/100 g), sodium (17.53±0.01 mg/100 g), calcium (14.65±0.01 mg/100 g), magnesium (09.67±0.01 mg/100 g), zinc (2.00±0.01 mg/100 g) and Iron (1.00±0.01 mg/100 g). Result for AST was significantly (p<0.05) higher in group-2 (57.00±13.00 IU/L) and group-3 (59.33±10.53 IU/L), when compared with the normal control group-5 (31.33±1.53 IU/L). Significantly (p<0.05) higher serum ALT was observed in treatment group-2 (50.00±12.52 IU/L) and group-3 (56.33±10.21 IU/L). The results for kidney function, shows significantly (p<0.05) higher serum urea concentration in group-3 (13.75±2.41 mg/dl) when compared with the normal control group (8.75±1.60 mg/dl). Serum creatinine concentration was significantly (p<0.05) higher in group-2 (2.25±1.18 mg/kg) and group-3 (2.38±1.57 mg/kg) when compared with the normal control group (1.09±0.13 mg/kg). Significantly (p<0.05) higher SOD values was obtained in group-3 (72.64±5.90 mg/kg) when compared with normal control group (19.62±4.26 mg/kg). There was no significant (p<0.05) difference in total serum protein concentration in all groups when compared with the normal control group. The histological result shows that the oral administration of Cannabis sativa induced pronounced inflammation of the hepatic and renal tissue in group-3 when compared with the normal control group. In conclusion, the study showed that oraladministration of Cannabis sativa caused dose dependent hepatorenal toxicity.
