Evaluation of Antimicrobial, Anti-Inflammatory and Wound Healing Potentiality of Various Indian Small Herbs: A Meta Analysis

The treatment of skin ageing is vital in controlling numerous skin problems, especially in the elderly, which is a welcome side effect. Consumer demand for non-invasive products with fewer harmful effects than those currently on the market has led to a rapid surge in the development of new dermocosmetics. Herbal-derived formulations and natural compounds from plants have gained popularity because to the wide range of effective, non-toxic active ingredients they contain, many of which target different parts of the skin's ageing signalling pathways. The purpose of this review was, therefore, to identify the most current developments in the study of herbal-derived products, such as herbal formulations and isolated components with skin anti-aging effects. Clinical trials with available pharmacodynamics data support the protective effects of herbal-derived products used to treat, prevent, or control the ageing of human skin, and these investigations assessed the biological effects of these products in in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo settings.

Diabetes mellitus is among the most common disorder in developed and developing countries, and the disease is increasing rapidly in most parts of the world. It has been estimated that up to one-third of patients with diabetes mellitus use some form of complementary and alternative medicine. One plant that has received the most attention for its anti-diabetic properties is bitter melon, Momordica charantia (M. charantia), commonly referred to as bitter gourd, karela and balsam pear. Its fruit is also used for the treatment of diabetes and related conditions amongst the indigenous populations of Asia, South America, India and East Africa. Abundant pre-clinical studies have documented in the anti-diabetic and hypoglycaemic effects of M. charantia through various postulated mechanisms. However, clinical trial data with human subjects are limited and flawed by poor study design and low statistical power. The present review is an attempt to highlight the antidiabetic activity as well as phytochemical and pharmacological reports on M. charantia and calls for better-designed clinical trials to further elucidate its possible therapeutic effects on diabetes.

The cosmetics industry has been forced to search for new active chemicals as a result of increasing customer demand as well as stricter international regulations. Botanical extract offers a source of new active chemicals that is nearly endless and may be used to make cosmetics. Due to their olfactory character in the creation of fragrances and perfumes and the many beneficial properties of their individual components (EOCs), essential oils (EOs) are becoming increasingly popular natural ingredients in the cosmetics and toiletries industry. These properties include anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties (e.g., moisturizers, lotions and cleanser in skin care cosmetics; conditioners, masks or antidandruff products in hair care products; lipsticks, or fragrances in perfumery). It is difficult to generalise the possible applications of essential oils in cosmetics and toiletries because each essential oil has its own unique chemical profile, which is connected with its own particular collection of benefits. Instead, formulators need to make an effort to discover acceptable mixes of essential oils or essential oil compounds in order to get the results they want from the completed goods. This paper presents a detailed examination of the existing research on the usage of essential oils and essential oil compounds (EOs and EOCs) in the cosmetics sector. In addition, we will focus on a few critical topics regarding the safety of essential oils and essential oil compounds used in the cosmetics sector. When formulators of cosmetics are working to perfect products that are based on botanical extracts, they are very likely to find the information offered in this review to be valuable.
