“…In homoeopathy, the plant or sanguinarine, which is found in the root, is used for preparations according to homoeopathic principles to promote expectoration of phlegm or to relieve sore throat. Homoeopaths also resort to bloodroot for female menopause 40,41 . To date, however, its effects have not been substantiated, nor have pharmaceutical agents been developed from its constituents (such as sanguinarin) 42 .…”

Alternative medicine methods and treatments enjoy great popularity. However, many users fail to recognise the dangers associated with these methods. One of these is called Black Ointment or Black Salve. Oncologists and attending physicians should be aware of alternative medical methods such as these and be in a position to provide appropriate advice, intervention, if necessary, at any time when counselling patients in difficult situations.

An energetic desire to reduce the undesirable effects brought on by synthetic heterocyclic substances and to combat antimicrobial resistance has led to an increase in curiosity in using natural antimicrobial agents derived from plants, such as phenolics, catechol, pyrogallol, essential oils, Lchicoric acid, caffeic acid, catechins, coumarin, proanthocyanidins, 4-thiazolidinone, and alkaloids. The usage of naturally occurring heterocycles against Gram-positive (S. aureus, S. pyogenes, B. subtilis, A. niger, and B. cereus) and Gram-negative (P. aeruginosa, E. coli, K. pneumonia, P. vulgaris, and S. infantis) bacteria has been the subject of increased investigation in past few decades. This review targets the use of plant-derived antimicrobials to increase the microbiological safety of food and the possible antimicrobial activity of nitrogen- and oxygen-based heterocyclic compounds. It is possible to find novel medications to treat infectious diseases and address the issues brought on by antibiotic resistance by exploring and utilising the potential of these chemicals. Additional research is desirable on the toxicological effects and potential additive and/or synergistic antimicrobial actions in order to maximise the usage of these potential natural antimicrobials in foods.
