Dada a alta demanda pela otimização do desempenho pessoal em vários aspectos da vida social e, tendo em vista as prevalentes situações de estresse da vida moderna, foram aperfeiçoados os adaptógenos, termo cunhado em 1943 pelos russos. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar essas substâncias “tônicas” que aumentavam a performance física em soldados durante a II Guerra Mundial, e que adquiriram uma nova abordagem nos anos seguintes, tomando espaço significativo na melhora da performance cognitivo-mental. Para tal, o estudo, uma revisão integrativa da literatura, será baseado nas plataformas científicas Scientific Eletronic Library Online – SCIELO, Google Acadêmico, a U. S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) - PubMed e ScienceDirect. Espera-se encontrar correlação entre o uso de adaptógenos na melhora da resposta a eventos estressores, promovendo, por fim, a performance cognitivo-mental. Os estudos demonstram que os adaptógenos apresentam ações positivas na memória, na função cognitiva e neuroproteção; também demonstram efeito ansiolítico, nootrópico e antiestresse. Dentre as doenças, há evidências de que os adaptógenos possam ter benefício na Doença de Parkinson e na de Alzheimer. A Ashwagandha, especialmente, recebe destaque nos estudos. Uma limitação do presente trabalho, é que a maioria dos estudos recentes obtidos como resultados foram também apresentados na forma de revisão da literatura, deixando claro que há necessidades de novas evidências científicas. Mesmo assim, os resultados corroboram para novas pesquisas relacionadas com a compreensão das propriedades terapêuticas dos adaptógenos, com foco, principalmente, em estudos clínicos.

Background: Nature provides us with all the necessary ingredients to lead a healthy life, while data from ancient civilizations and scientific discoveries support the fact that the use of aromatic plants and herbs due to their therapeutic properties is a neglected healthy habit. Methods: This study examines the antioxidant activity in domestic preparation of four herb beverages Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), Sage (Salvia officinalis), Tilia (Tilia tomentosa) and Sideritis (Sideritis perfoliata) aiming to investigate the presence of antioxidants in the plants and to define which domestic preparation method of the beverage (decoction/infusion) ensures better antioxidant capacity. In the experimental procedure, herbal decoctions and infusions (boiling time 5 minutes) were extracted with 4 different solvents of increasing polarity (petroleum ether, diaithylether, ethyl acetate, butanol). This process resulted to 10 samples from each herb beverage. Each of them was examined for the TPC via the Folin-Ciocalteau method, the interaction with the cationic radical ABTS, the free stable radical DPPH for the determination of antioxidant capacity, the hydroxyl radical scavenging ability, the inhibition of lipid peroxidation of linoleic acid and finally the acceptability of each beverage with respect to the manner of preparation through sensory evaluation in a total number of 40 random volunteers. Results: Τhe results exhibit the characteristics represented by each herb. Comparison and classification between them was also performed. The antioxidant characteristics of the herbs were affected both by the preparation method as well as the extraction solvent. Conclusions: All herbs exhibited high antioxidant capacity. However, not all were positively evaluated during the organoleptic evaluation which raises the question of whether these beneficial herbs would be ANTIOXIDANT CONTRIBUTION OF LAVENDER (Lavandula angustifolia), SAGE (Salvia officinalis), TILIA (Tilia tomentosa) AND SIDERITIS (Sideritis perfoliata) BEVERAGES PREPARED AT HOME.
