There is accumulating evidence for various therapeutic benefits of cannabis/cannabinoids, especially in the treatment of pain, which may also apply to the treatment of migraine and headache. There is also supporting evidence that cannabis may assist in opioid detoxification and weaning, thus making it a potential weapon in battling the opioid epidemic. Cannabis science is a rapidly evolving medical sector and industry with increasingly regulated production standards. Further research is anticipated to optimize breeding of strain-specific synergistic ratios of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other phytochemicals for predictable user effects, characteristics, and improved symptom and disease-targeted therapies.

“…The results found for the essential oil of P. heptaphyllum (Table 3) are consistent with work previously described, where the components α-pinene, terpinolene, p-cymen-8-ol and α-cymene were also reported as major components of the P. heptaphyllum oil (Marques et al, 2010;Siane et al, 1999). However, some differences were observed in relative percentages and may be related to genetic factors, the nutritional status of the plant and the soil and climatic conditions (Figueiredo et al, 2012); medicinal plants that are derived from the same species may exhibit significant differences in quality when collected at different sites (Asghari et al, 2012). The temperature did not seem to be a factor that influenced the degradation of the substances; however, volatilisation of the chemicals might have contributed to losses, since the overlap of all chromatograms obtained observes the same chromatographic profile for all samples, with a reduction in peak area (Figures 2 and 3).…”

Protium heptaphyllum (PH) is rich in essential oil, has anti-inflammatory properties and has no toxic potential. However, data is unavailable about its antiseptic effect against bacteria that cause caries. This study aimed to evaluate the antiseptic effect of the toothbrush rinse of essential oil of PH as well as its chemical stability. The toothbrush rinse was prepared with 1% essential oil of PH. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the essential oil and toothbrush rinse were evaluated against Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 25175™). The ex vivo study was double-blinded and randomised; the children were divided into three groups, each participating in a crossover design where all solutions (water, toothbrush rinse (1%) and chlorhexidine (0.12%) were used in all stages by different groups of children. The chemical composition of the essential oil and toothbrush rinse were analysed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. The stability was evaluated at three time points. The essential oil and toothbrush rinse exhibited antimicrobial activity against S. mutans, MIC = 0.125 and 2.4 µg/ml. The toothbrush rinse showed the same effect as chlorhexidine on disinfecting the toothbrushes contaminated with mutans streptococci (pH = 57.3 ± 5.3%; chlorhexidine 55.5 ± 13.3%; water 39.4 ± 5.8%; p > 0.05). Chromatographic analysis showed that the essential oil contained monoterpenes as a major component, and the toothbrush rinse possessed the same constituents as the pure essential oil, except for α-terpineol. Storage did not cause chemical degradation of the toothbrush rinse, but decreased the concentration of the chemical constituents. The toothbrush rinse of essential oil of P. heptaphyllum showed antiseptic properties and exhibited antimicrobial activity against mutans streptococci.

“…The oil chemical compositions of other ecotypes of A. aucheri that have been reported were varied. Results of a previous study by Asghari et al 4 indicated the main compounds in essential oil obtained from seeds of A. aucheri were decane, p-cymene, 1,8-cineole, linalool, p-mentha-8-ol, triene, borneol, lavandulol, bornyl acetate, chrysanthenyl acetate, dehydro aromadenderene, and caryophyllene oxide. Similarly, camphor was determined to be the main component of the plant essential oil 19 .…”

“…The essential oils of different ecotypes of A.aucheri growing wild in Iran have been studied [4][5][6][7][8][9] . Sefidkon et al 9 reported the main constituents of the essential oil of A.aucheri collected from Semnan province (North Iran) were verbenone (21.5 %), camphor (21.0 %), 1,8cineole (8.3 %), and Z-verbenol (8.1 %).…”

Artemisia aucheri (Boiss.) belongs to the family Asteraceae, is an Iranian medicinal and aromatic plant. The aerial parts of various populations of A. aucheri collected at full flowering stage from three altitudes, including 2000-2300, 2300-2600, and 2600-3000 m above sea level in Zagros Mountains, Kerman province, Iran. The oil yields of various populations of A. aucheri ranged between 0.58±0.3 to 0.88±0.4ml/100 g dry matter. The essential oils were analyzed by GC-MS. Within for various populations of A. aucheri, 63 volatile components were identified, representing 75.2 to 89.5 % of total oils. The main constituents were santolinatriene (2.1±2.6 %t o 12.7±0.7.1 %), 1,8-cineole (2.1±0.8 % to 12.4±8.2 %), borneol (2.2±0.3 % to 12.2±5.0 %), camphor (0.9±0.3 % to 10.6±7.9 %), and β-caryophyllene (1.4±1.3 % to 8.5±1.9 %). The oxygenated monoterpenes and hydrocarbon sesquiterpenes were the main chemical group in the essential oil of A. aucheri. Results indicated that increasing elevation resulting increased percentages of some constitutes, including borneol, β-myrcene and linalool, while percentages of camphor, chrysanthenone, and davanonein essential oil decreased.
