“…In some cultures, alternative therapies are popular for the treatment of tinea versicolor. These include topical application of beeswax and honey, 226 essential oils of Cymbopogon citratus , 227 quince seed mucilage hydrogel decorated with essential oils of Nigella sativa , Citrus sinensis and Cinnamon verum , 228 polyherbal Unani formulation, 229 Pentas longiflora leaf extract, 230 Acalypha wilkesiana leaf extract, 231 Artemisia sieberi shrub extract, 182 nitric oxide-liberating cream 232 and irradiated human amniotic membrane in combination with tea tree oil. 233 None of these treatments have yet been subjected to rigorous studies nor randomized clinical trials.…”

A search was conducted in July 2022 in PubMed Clinical Queries using the key terms "tinea versicolor" OR "pityriasis versicolor". The search strategy included all clinical trials (including open trials, non-randomized controlled trials and randomized controlled trials), observational studies and reviews (including narrative reviews and meta-analyses) published within the past 10 years. Only papers published in the English literature were included in this review. The information retrieved from the search was used in the compilation of this article. Review AetiopathogenesisTinea versicolor is caused by dimorphic lipophilic and lipid-dependent yeasts in the genus Malassezia (formerly known as Pityrosporum) species, notably Malassezia globosa (M. globose), M. furfur and M. sympodialis. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Other species that have been implicated include M. restricta, M. obtuse, M. slooffiae, M. pachydermatis and M. japonica. [13][14][15][16] These yeasts are normal commensals on the skin surface. 17,18 Skin colonization increases with age; 25% of children and almost 100% of adults are affected. 19 Tinea versicolor occurs when the saprophytic yeast or budding form of the organism converts to the pathogenic hyphal or mycelial form. The fungal infection is localized to the stratum corneum. Predisposing factors for the conversion include a hot and humid environment, hyperhidrosis, application of oily lotion or cream to the skin, wearing of masks, excessive lipid-containing sebaceous secretions, malnutrition, poor general health, use of oral contraceptives, pregnancy, diabetes mellitus, use of topical or systemic corticosteroids, Cushing disease, Helicobacter pylori infection, immunodeficiency and genetic predisposition. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] A recent study showed oxidative stress has no role in the pathogenesis of tinea versicolor. 29

The Rubiaceae constitute the fourth largest family of flowering plants in the world. It is a cosmopolitan family, present on all continents but a large part of its diversity is located in tropical and subtropical regions. Some species of the family are considered among the most beautiful and popular in the world, but there is little data on the importance and contribution of ornamental Rubiaceae to the thriving global ornamental plant market. The island of Martinique located in the Lesser Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean, hosts part of this diversity of the Rubiaceae family. Despite significant imports of ornamental plants to the French West Indies, these species are almost non-existent in private gardens in Martinique, with the exception of the genera Ixora, Mussaenda, and Gardenia. Using ethnobotanical surveys, we demonstrate that the Rubiaceae family contributes only very weakly to the diversity of ornamental plants in private gardens in the north of the island.
