Stomach ache is one of the most chronic and debilitating abdominal pains. Medicinal plants are one of the most accessible sources for treating diseases like gastrointestinal disorders. In this review, we investigate and report the most important medicinal plants recommended by Persian medicine for treating stomach aches and comparing them with their proven effects in modern medicine. Gastric pain was probed in Persian medicine reliable textbooks such as Cannon of Medicine (Ibn Sina), Tibbe-Akbari (Muhammad Akbar Arzaani), The Complete Art of Medicine (Kitab Kamil as-Sinaa at-tibbiyya) (Haly Abbas), Explanation of insults and signs (Kermani) Tohfeh Al-Mo'menin (Seyed Mohammad Momen Tonekaboni), and some notes were taken. The results showed that Panicum miliaceum, Punica granatum, Solanum nigrum, Calicotome spinosa, Tamarindus indica, Cuminum cyminum, Prunus domestica, Matricaria recutita, Viola odorata, Plantago psyllium, Berberis vulgaris, Pyrus communis, Linum usitatissimum, Vitis vinifera were the most important plant sources used in treating the stomach ache according to Persian medicine. The findings of this study showed that the useful effects of many recommended plants in Persian medicine are confirmed by recent scientific researches and are reliable.
Antibacterial resistant microorganisms as agents which cause infection diseases are fourth cause of mortality throughout the world, therefore there is a huge attempt to deal with this issue. New antimicrobial agents design based on high bactericidal potential, high specificity and low cross-reaction.. Herbal remedy as an ancient treatment is considerable. Previously, herbal extract were exploited to treat infections such as; Aloa vera, Thymus vulgaris, Allium sativum. This study is aimed to investigate the effect of Pistacia atlantica on bacteria and compare its effect with routine antibiotics. Sample size was determined 30 numbers per each bacteria by STATCALC software (EPI-Info). Hydro-extract prepared from Pistacia atlantica that collected from Zagros mountains. Disck diffusion and well embedding method recruited to investigate antibacterial effect. MIC test done for hydro-extract and antibiotics. Statistic analysis done by Square Chi test, t independent test, t-test and fisher test. MIC of Pistacia atlantica extract were 163µg/ml, 104.16µg/ml and 204.67µg/ml for E.coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. These funding shown inhibition effect of this herbal extract but it indicate no affect on H.pylori. Funding indicate inhibit effect of hydro-extract on recruited bacteria except H.pylori thereby, it is suggested that phenol/ chloroform-extracion could be have inhibit affect on H.pylori.
