“…from Morocco demonstrates in vivo analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. The study conducted by Ghizlane Hajjaj and colleagues revealed that the aqueous extract reduced carrageenan-induced paw edema in mice and displayed analgesic activity in animal models [20]. These findings support the traditional use of Pistacia atlantica in the treatment of pain and inflammation.…”

Pistacia atlantica, a plant native to the Mediterranean region, holds significant traditional medicinal value for various health conditions, notably those associated with inflammation. This study aims to review the existing literature regarding the anti-inflammatory properties of P. atlantica and discuss its potential as an alternative treatment option. An extensive search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases to identify relevant articles published up until January 2024. Articles were selected based on their relevance to the topic, quality, and credibility. Pistacia atlantica exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, as evidenced by its traditional use in treating conditions like stomach diseases, renal disorders, wounds, coughs, gastrointestinal disorders, and inflammatory diseases. Numerous scientific studies support these claims, demonstrating that P. atlantica possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities. Specifically, it has been observed to alleviate bowel inflammation, inhibit protein denaturation, and exert protective effects against oxidative stress. The strong correlation between the traditional uses of P. atlantica and its proven anti-inflammatory properties suggests that it may serve as an effective natural remedy for inflammatory conditions. However, additional research and clinical trials are required to fully understand its mechanism of action and optimize its therapeutic applications. By exploring the synergy between traditional knowledge and contemporary pharmacological understanding, we hope to contribute to the development of novel treatments for inflammatory diseases.

“…The anti-inflammatory potential of the aqueous extract of Matricaria chamomilla (300 and 500 mg/kg) was studied using carrageenan and experimental trauma-induced hind paw edema in mice. The aqueous extract of Matricaria chamomilla showed significant anti-inflammatory activity comparable to the control in both models (53) .…”

Matricaria chamomilla contained oils, sterols, triterpenes, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, alkaloids, sugars, proteins, mucins, sesquiterpenes, coumarins, polyacetylenes, phenyl carboxylic acids, amino acids, phytosterols, choline and mineral substances. The pharmacological studies revealed that Matricaria chamomilla possessed dermatological, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antimicrobial, reproductive, antiulcerogenic, antidiarrheal, antispasmodic, antidiabetic, antiparasitic, antiallergic, protective, anxiolytic, sedative, antidepressant, anticonvulsant, hypotensive, hypolipidemic, memory enhancing and many other effects. This review was designed to highlight thechemicalconstituents andpharmacological effects of Matricaria chamomilla.

From Traditional Knowledge to Modern Formulation: Potential and Prospects of Pistacia atlantica Desf. Essential and Fixed Oils Uses in Cosmetics

Pistacia atlantica Desf. (Atlas pistachio) is one of the most widely distributed wild species of the genus. It is an Irano–Touranian species with a large geographic area that extends from the Canary Islands to Pamir Mountains. Since ancient times, atlas pistachio gum-like resin and fruits, very rich in essential oils (EOs) and fixed oils (FOs), respectively, were used in traditional medicine and included in different traditional cosmetics and health and beauty products. Since then, Atlas pistachio fixed oil is incorporated into several soaps, creams and shampoos to benefit from its medicinal properties. Atlas pistachio fixed oils, resin and leaf essential oils are constituted by several bioactive compounds such as monoterpenes with α-pinene and β-pinene in the resin, terpinen-4-ol, elemol, sesquiterpenes with D-germacrene and E-caryophyllene in the leaves and oxygenated monoterpenes (bornyl acetate) in the fruits. The unsaturated fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, palmitic and stearic acid), sterols (β-sitostero) and tocopherols represented the principal compounds in fatty oil fruits. All these compounds exhibit great therapeutic and cosmetic virtues. Unlike lentisk oil uses in cosmetology, the cosmetic potentials of Atlas pistachio oils remain less valued. In the current review, we seek to highlight the characteristics and properties of Atlas pistachio oils in the prospects of the development of new and different cosmetic formulations as well as an innovative valuation of active ingredients and products inspired by indigenous knowledge and practices.
