“…A relevant aspect that should be considered is that during the cultivation and development of medicinal plants, they could have been contaminated with heavy metals because they may have been irrigated for long periods of time with untreated water or wastewater or growing in areas of intense traffic or near areas of industrial waste. For example, several studies have been conducted in Asia that clearly showed soil contamination by heavy metals on roadsides with different volumes of traffic [ 50 , 51 ]. These soils may subsequently be used for agricultural practices and enter the food chain.…”

Consumption of St. John’s wort plant is high worldwide due to its various medicinal properties. However, herbal products containing St. John’s wort may be contaminated with toxic metals. This is often related to contamination of both water and the atmosphere, lack of proper cultivation methods, and inadequate plant storage conditions, as well as a lack of stricter sanitary supervision. A safety assessment of copper (Cu), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) content in 23 products containing St. John’s wort (pharmaceutical herbal products, food supplements and traditional herbal remedies) sold in the metropolitan area of Mexico City was conducted. The analysis of metals was determined using a graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectrometer. All herbal products were contaminated with Cu, Pb, Cd and As. The pharmaceutical herbal items showed less contamination by metals. The daily human intake (DHI) values for Pb exceeded the permissible limits in the group of traditional herbal remedies. The DHI calculation for As exceeded the permitted intake values for all items in the group of traditional herbal remedies, five food supplements and one pharmaceutical herbal product. The hazard indicator calculation of the non-carcinogenic cumulative risk values for traditional herbal remedies was greater than 1, suggesting a risk to human health.

“…In order to promote community health and eliminate the exorbitant costs of treatment, it is enough to create a proper culture about these products so that communities are encouraged to use these natural medicines and do not start using chemical medicines with any small disease. For example, the common cold or common new weak mutations of Covid 19 are some of the diseases that people get several times a year, if you are careful, people who constantly take a variety of pills to cure this disease (even before the disease and with the least symptoms to try), they take more colds than other people for a long time, but people who are more resistant and use less pills and chemicals have a stronger immune system and last longer [52][53][54][55][56][57][58]. They achieve a short recovery time.…”

Natural compounds are the result of millions of years of evolution, natural compounds include a wide range of chemical compounds, as a result of which various medicinal compounds are obtained. Natural products have complex and diverse chemical structures. Meanwhile, the use of natural products as modifiers of biological performance has also attracted considerable attention. Global market demand for natural products is growing day by day, public health issues and safety concerns are also increasingly recognized. These products have become one of the most important sources for the development of new lead compounds and scaffolds. Natural products will be used continuously to meet the urgent need for the production of effective and useful drugs and play an important role in the production of drugs with effective compounds for the treatment of a wide range of human diseases. Many clinical studies have been conducted on the use of these compounds. In addition to what has been stated, herbal compounds are used for other diseases related to chronic inflammation such as atherosclerosis and ischemia. We hope this work will provide important knowledge for therapeutic or preventive applications of natural products in chronic inflammatory diseases.
