Essential oils are complex mixtures of hydrocarbons and their oxygenated derivatives arising from two different isoprenoid pathways. Essential oils are produced by glandular trichomes and other secretory structures, specialized secretory tissues mainly diffused onto the surface of plant organs, particularly flowers and leaves, thus exerting a pivotal ecological role in plant. In addition, essential oils have been used, since ancient times, in many different traditional healing systems all over the world, because of their biological activities. Many preclinical studies have documented antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities of essential oils in a number of cell and animal models, also elucidating their mechanism of action and pharmacological targets, though the paucity of in human studies limits the potential of essential oils as effective and safe phytotherapeutic agents. More well-designed clinical trials are needed in order to ascertain the real efficacy and safety of these plant products.

“…Cinnamon has been used to treat abdominal and chest pains, chronic diarrhea, hypertension, kidney disorders and rheumatism, in eastern and western folk medicine ( 7 ). Cinnamon could induce hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects in rats with impaired liver function by carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) ( 6 ). Cinnamon extract, an antioxidant that is a rich source of polyphenolic compounds, plays a significant role in the modulation of oxidative stress in the obese people with impaired fasting glucose.…”

Background:In modern countries today, herbal medicines are known to help in the treatment of various diseases, as rich sources of antioxidants and minerals.Objectives:To study the effect of Cinnamomum zeylanicum (C. zeylanicum) on spermatogenesis in rats.Materials and Methods:In this experimental study, Wistar male rats (n = 20) were divided into two groups, a control group (n = 10) and a Cinnamomum zeylanicum group (n = 10). The subjects in the cinnamon group received 75 mg/kg/day cinnamon by gavage for 28 days, while the controls received an equal volume of distilled water daily. Animals were kept in standardized conditions. On day 28, a 5 mL blood sample from each rat was taken from tail area to measure testosterone, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. Testes were collected and were then prepared for sperm analysis by the WHO method.Results:Sperm quality parameters, total serum testosterone, SOD, CAT, and GPX levels were significantly increased in the cinnamon group in comparison to controls (P < 0.05). Also, rats in the cinnamon group showed a significant decrease in the level of plasma MDA (P < 0.05) in comparison to controls. There were no significant differences between the groups in testis weight (P > 0.05).Conclusions:The administration of 75 mg/kg/day cinnamon significantly increased the sperm population, motility and viability, which supports the theory that in mammalians, cinnamon has a beneficial effect on spermatogenesis.

“…Linalool content of lavender affects the nor- adrenaline and dopamine levels, justifying its antidepressant effects (21). Also, lavender can affect the enzymes, channels and ion receptors leading to brain stimulation, relief anxiety, and anti-depression effects and improve blood flow to the brain (20). Flavonoids found in bitter orange have numerous pharmacological effects including inhibition of oxidation of lipoproteins with low molecular weight, prevention of platelet aggregation and immune cells stabilization; therefore, it is used in the treatment of mental disorders such as depression, allergies and viral infections (41).…”
