Introduction: Boerhavia diffusa (BD) is a plant of rasayana category as per ayurvedic claims. It is reported to possess anticariogenic activity, disease prevention, and life strengthening activities which hold enormous influence in disease burden and affordability/availability of healthcare in the world.
Materials and Methods: 1g of Boerhavia diffusa is mixed 100 ml of distilled water and 2.5(0.514)g of (20 micromolar boerhavia diffusa) was dissolved in 60ml of distilled water to that 40 ml of filtered plant extract was added and was kept in an orbital shaker for approximately 72 hours. The formation of nanoparticles were confirmed both visually and by UV visible spectrophotometer. The nanoparticles were then centrifuged with the aid of a lark refrigerator centrifuge for 10 minutes at 8000 rpm.
Results and Discussion: Anticariogenic activity of respective nanoparticles against the strain staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Enterococcus faecalis and Streptococcus mutans was utilized for this activity to determine the zone of inhibition. Muller hinton agar was prepared and sterilized for 45 min at 120Ibs. The media was poured into the sterilized playesa d was let to stabilize for solidification. The wells were cut using the well cutter and the test organism was swabbed.
Conclusion: Anticariogenic activity of respective nanoparticles against the strain staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Enterococcus faecalis and Streptococcus mutans was utilized for this activity to determine the zone of inhibition. Muller hinton agar was prepared and sterilized for 45 min at 120Ibs. The media poured into the sterilized plates was let to stabilize for solidification. The wells were cut using the well cutter and the test organism was swabbed.
Sleep disturbance or disruption is common among patients within the age limit 25-45. They often feel tired during the day time. During wakefulness which also causes sleep problems. Sleep disturbance associated with the sense of well-being, health, emotion regulation, and productivity, memory and cognitive functions. The main aim of this study is to prove the impact of peppermint oil on sleep apnea. The sample size of this study was 25 individuals and they were selected randomly. The peppermint oil is taken in a few amounts and massaged in the forehead while before sleeping. They were instructed to apply 2-3drops of oil on their forehead or spray on the pillow before going to bed. This has to be followed for 30 days. The sleeping hours and sleeping disturbances were recorded before and after using oil inhalation. Before the use of peppermint oil the sleeping hours was an average of 6.4±0.82 and after the use of peppermint oil the sleeping hours increased to an average of 7.1±1.03. Before the use of peppermint oil Sleep disturbances were of average 3.3±1.02 and after the use of peppermint oil the sleeping disturbances have been decreased to an average of 2.1±0.92. Data was collected and analysed using statistics. Peppermint oil has an effect on sleep apnea and it helps to overcome. From this study, it can be seen that a positive perception has been obtained towards the population.
