“…Roots are prepared by decoction to treat malaria [28]. While leaves are used externally as an antipyretic and analgesic [22] and for the treatment of joint ailments [31], they are used internally for the treatment of diarrhea and colds [29][30][31]. Rhizomes are also used for the treatment of diarrhea and colds, but the preparation and administration methods were not mentioned in the literature [30].…”

Today, traditional societies throughout the world possess a wealth of ethnoveterinary knowledge, which they have accumulated during prolonged interaction with nature. Turkey has ample resources of ethnoveterinary medicines as evident from its rich floral diversity and traditional botanical knowledge from the past. This review aims to compile herbal remedies used in ethnoveterinary medicine in Turkey with comprehensive usage information and to compare our findings with pharmacological studies. The botanical, family, and local names; used parts; preparation methods; administration/dosage and duration of the treatment; and ailments treated/ therapeutic effects were presented by screening ethnobotanical and ethnoveterinary studies. The most cited plant families, the medicinal plants, and the most common animal diseases were determined and presented in graphics. A total of 251 taxa belonging to 67 families were reported as being traditionally used to treat animal diseases in Turkey. Fabaceae (25 taxa), Asteraceae (24 taxa), Lamiaceae (19 taxa), Rosaceae (19 taxa), Apiaceae (9 taxa), Poaceae (8 taxa), and Solanaceae (7 taxa) were found as the most cited plant families. The most cited medicinal plants were Helleborus orientalis Lam. (9), Allium sativum L. (9), Juniperus oxycedrus L. subsp. oxycedrus var. oxycedrus (9), Berberis crataegina DC. (8), Pinus brutia Ten. var. brutia (7), Sambucus ebulus L. (6), Cydonia oblonga Mill. (6), and Olea europaea L. (6), respectively. These plants are frequently used to cure various animal ailments such as dermatological, gastrointestinal, and parasitic diseases. The pharmacological studies of the said plant species were also gathered and reviewed to convey the efficacy of these plants in the treatment of animal diseases. Considering the traditional usage of the reported medicinal plants, more pharmacological studies are required for confirming the effectiveness of these herbal remedies.

“…Despite its comparative rarity, Ruscus aculeatus has a long and diverse history of usage in Europe. It has indeed been used as a ‘butcher's broom’ to clean chopping blocks (Pedersen ), also to make garden besoms (Bean ; Kızılarslan & Özhatay ) and brooms for removing embers from bread ovens in southern Italy (Salerno, Guarrera & Caneva ). Extracts from the rhizome have been used in many dietary supplements (Mari et al .…”

Summary1. This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of Ruscus aculeatus L. (Butcher's broom) that are relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and behaviour. The main topics are presented within the standard framework of the Biological Flora of the British Isles: distribution, habitat, communities, responses to biotic factors, responses to environment, structure and physiology, phenology, floral and seed characters, herbivores and disease, history and conservation. 2. Ruscus aculeatus is a multistemmed monocotyledonous shrub with leaves functionally replaced by cladodes and photosynthetic stems. It is native to southern England primarily in dry shaded woodland and hedgerows (but widely planted elsewhere) often, but not exclusively, on base-rich soil. It is rarely abundant in any habitat, usually forming widely spread discrete clumps. 3. Ruscus aculeatus is remarkably shade tolerant and drought resistant with low water conductance and transpiration, and water storage in the cladodes. Yet unusually for a drought-tolerant stemphotosynthetic plant, it prefers shady environments. 4. The flowers have few if any pollinating mechanisms, low seed production and fruit/seed dispersal are largely ineffective, which may be a relict of its evolution in a tropical Tertiary climate. Population survival primarily depends upon vegetative spread from stout rhizomes, aided by the plant's general unpalatability. 5. Over-collecting for medicinal steroidal saponins has caused some population declines, particularly in eastern Europe, but it is otherwise facing few conservation problems.

Background: In recent years, there is increasing interest the using of herbal extracts derived from plants in medicine and as a dietary supplements. Objective: We aimed the determination of the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of Cirsium creticum (Lam) d'Urv. subsp. creticum included Asteraceae family which is wild plant species in Trakya region. Methods: Crude n-hexane, diethyl ether, ethylacetate and methanol extracts from whole plants was used the determination of antiradical and antibacterial activity in C. creticum and compared in terms of extracts efficiency. Results: EC 50 values of DPPH activity in different solvents revealed significant differences similar to TPC content. The lowest inhibitory effect was found to be Gram negative for E. coli, despite the highest inhibitory effect against Gram positive S. aureus. Conclusion: Antiradical and antimicrobial activity results presented that C. creticum, could be evaluate in food supplements and pharmaceutical industry as natural compound, and future investigations will be aimed the isolations of biologically active compounds to define individual active components.
