Sağlığı ve yaşam kalitesini yükseltmek için tamamlayıcı tedavilerin kullanımı hem genel popülasyonda hem de kanser hastaları arasında yaygındır. Tamamlayıcı tedaviler kanser hastalarında hem semptomları hafifletmek hem de tedaviler sonucu oluşan yan etkileri ortadan kaldırarak rahatlamayı sağlamaktadır. Meme kanseri kadınlar arasında en sık görülen kanser çeşididir ve meme kanseri olan kadınlar fiziksel, sosyal ve psikolojik olarak olumsuz etkilenmektedir. Meme kanseri olan kadınlar genellikle tamamlayıcı yöntemleri rutin tedaviye ek olarak kullanmaktadırlar. Tamamlayıcı uygulama yöntemlerinden olan aromaterapinin meme kanser hastaları üzerinde semptom yönetiminde etkili olduğu belirtilmektedir. Geçmişten bu yana aromaterapi uygulamalarının hasta bakımında kullanıldığı hemşirelik mesleğinde, holistik bakım hedeflerine ve meslek etiğine uygun olması nedeniyle aromaterapi uygulamalarına yer verilmesi önemlidir. Bu makalede aromaterapinin meme kanserli kadınlar üzerine etkisinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

“…Thanks to these body and brain abilities, nowadays, there are even new methods in medicine for treating people through the sense of smell, called aromatherapy. It is an alternative method of healing and strengthening the body, using the olfactory channel to stimulate the brain in a different way than medications or physical therapies can [ 26 ].…”

This article is devoted to some aspects of the fragrant substances of plant origin applied in the food industry and perfumery as well. Since antiquity many extractive techniques have been developed to obtain essential oils. Some of them are still applied, but new ones, like microwave or ultrasound-assisted extractions, are more and more popular and they save time and cost. Independently of the procedure, the resulting essential oils are the source of many so-called isolates. These can be applied as food additives, medicines, or can be used as starting materials for organic synthesis. Some substances exist in very small amounts in plant material so the extraction is not economically profitable but, after their chemical structures were established and synthetic procedures were developed, in some cases they are prepared on an industrial scale. The substances described below are only a small fraction of the 2000–3000 fragrant molecules used to make our life more enjoyable, either in food or perfumes. Additionally, a few examples of allelopathic fragrant compounds, present in their natural state, will be denoted and some of their biocidal features will be mentioned as an arising “green” knowledge in agriculture.

“…The combination of the drug medication with herbs has a long history. Some of the drug-plant interactions can increase the therapeutic effect or reduce the side effects of the drugs [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Recent studies have shown that the concomitant use of S. baicalensis extract and cisplatin for the treatment of ovarian cancer has increased the effectiveness and reduced the side effects of the chemotherapeutic [ 30 ].…”

Interactions of Some Chemotherapeutic Agents as Epirubicin, Gemcitabine and Paclitaxel in Multicomponent Systems Based on Orange Essential Oil

In order to anticipate the effect induced by a natural product on the chemical activity of medicines simultaneously administered, spontaneous interactions of certain cancer treatment drugs such as, epirubicin (EPR), gemcitabine (GCT), and paclitaxel (PTX) with limonene (LIM)—a natural compound extracted from orange peel and known as an anticancer agent—were investigated. To estimate the stability of the drugs over time, a current density of 50 mA cm−2 was applied as an external stimulus between two platinum electrodes immersed in hydrochloric acid solution containing ethyl alcohol/water in the volume ratio of 2/3, in the absence and presence of orange essential oil (limonene concentration of 95%). The concentration variation of chemotherapeutic agents over time was evaluated by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Kinetic studies have shown a delay in the decomposition reaction of epirubicin and gemcitabine and a paclitaxel activity stimulation. Thus, in the presence of limonene, the epirubicin half-life increased from 46.2 min to 63 min, and from 6.2 min to 8.6 min in gemcitabine case, while for paclitaxel a decrease of half-life from 35.9 min to 25.8 min was determined. Therefore, certain drug-limonene interactions took place, leading to the emergence of molecular micro-assemblies impacting decomposition reaction of chemotherapeutics. To predict drug–limonene interactions, the Autodock 4.2.6 system was employed. Thus, two hydrophobic interactions and five π-alkyl interactions were established between EPR-LIM, the GCT-LIM connection involves four π-alkyl interactions, and the PTX-LIM bridges take place through three hydrophobic interactions and the one π-alkyl. Finally, the decomposition reaction mechanism of drugs was proposed.
