Medicinal mushrooms are known and used to be nutraceuticals for centuries to enhance health benefits as well as to treat several diseases. Among them, Ganoderma Lucidum (i.e.: G. Lucidum, or red Reishi, or Lingzhi) is appreciated as a medicinal mushroom or significant herbal food for treating diseases, extending life and developing drug. It is detected in different locations, likely contributed confusing concerning its classification. Concomitantly, it has utilized as tea, in alcoholic drinking, and as a complementary medicine to bestow numerous health benefits. Thereby, it is truly important to identify chemical constituents and provide its activities in health benefits regarding these products. Herein, we hope that it is likely a good and right approach for utilizing and encouraging this product, as well as its advantages will be shortly summarized in disease treatments.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was found first in Wuhan (China), which was considered as an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Hence, in order to prevent an increasing infectious disease risk, current management strategies against COVID-19 should strictly comply for stopping-up the spread of COVID-19 outbreak. There is a major challenge in the timely diagnosis (by kits, etc.) to prevent COVID-19 infection outbreak until proper drugs or vaccines for treating COVID-19 patients are introduced. Therefore, it is essential to demand personal protective manners for each person in against of COVID-19 infection. In this article, the symptoms of COVID-19 and the effect of handwashing in against of COVID-19 are mentioned, as well as its benefits in the COVID-19 infection prevention are understood more clearly.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) is widely utilized as a spice, food colorant, and preservative in India, China, and South-East Asia. With containing potential turmeric extracts and compounds, it has been utilized in traditional medicine for various diseases counting diabetes, hepatitis, hemorrhoids, hysteria, indigestion, skin disease, inflammation, anorexia, hepatic disorders, cough, and sinusitis, etc. So far, a large number of work has been conducted to find and prove biological activities and pharmacological applications of turmeric and its extracts in both animals and humans. In particular, curcumin (diferuloylmethane), a characteristic component with major yellow bioactive turmeric feature, has been found to possess numerous biological actions. Nonetheless, the polyphenol compound in curcumin has been limited for human disease treatments even though adequate studies are utilized in animal trials. Plenty of ongoing studies are also contributing significantly to this promising molecule that to the forefront of human therapeutics as well as its activities in health benefits. Thus, curcumin and some turmeric extracts are considered as non-toxic and highly promising compounds with a lot of potentially biological functions based on an appropriately used dose. It is expected that curcumin and some turmeric extracts can be explored in novel medical applications in the future to effectively against or treat various diseases. Here, we hope that it is likely a good and right approach for using and encouraging this product, and its chemical components and effective clinical applications will be briefly summarized in disease treatments.
With current technological development, finding and exploring novel chemical compounds from natural material sources can be one of significant purposes for researchers. Especially, saffron is known to be the highest-cost medicinal plant, a high-grade spice, and an outstanding dye. Concomitantly, the final saffron products truly affect much their quality to protect the rights for the consumer, as well as its available healthy benefits can be utilized for treating or preventing various diseases. Herein, the chemical characterization and health effects of saffron are shortly introduced and summarized through treatment and prevention of different diseases (i.e.: cancer, liver, ocular, diabetes, antidepressant, Alzheimer and gastrointestinal diseases), which can favor readers understanding clearly the saffron advantages through this short review. Moreover, it can provide relatively for choosing an effective drying method to maintain the product qualities and facilitate the industrial production of saffron.
