“…For the plants, these compounds have different biological properties and in phytotherapy are used in the treatment of a wide variety of diseases, including cancers [31], neurological disorders [26], chronic inflammations and lesions [32], diabetes [33], atherosclerosis [34], cardiovascular diseases and skin diseases [35]. Many botanical families have in their compounds healing properties, derived from substances produced by their secondary metabolism.…”

Medicinal plants are described such as those produce substances capable of provoking reactions in the human body leading to the cure of diseases. Like as cultivated species, medicinal plants can be attacked by various pests and diseases, affecting the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of their curative properties, as well as productivity. Phytonematodes are one of the main factors limiting the productivity of cultivated plants. In medicinal species this pathogens group has caused damage in the sanity of the plants interfering in the quality of the compounds produced. Among them, due to the high parasitism degree, the species of the genus Meloidogyne, popularly known as root-knot nematodes. Among the management strategies of these phytopathogens, biological and cultural controls have low efficiency reports. Likewise, chemical control is not indicated due to its high cost, besides, its high toxicity and risk of environmental pollution. Therefore, the most effective control method is the use of resistant plant species or cultivars. Once these species are identified, they can be used as antagonists or incorporated into the soil, aiming to decrease the nematode population in infested areas. The use of resistant medicinal species allows little or no reproduction of Meloidogyne spp., providing effective control in the field. Other advantages are the reduction of production costs, and the protection of the environment against pollution caused by chemical waste.

“…Recent researches performed on medicinal plants and food supplements used in traditional medicine indicate that compounds present in them including food fibers, vitamins, flavonoids, sterols, and other antioxidant compounds can lower lipids, inhibit low-density lipoprotein oxidation, eliminate oxygen free radicals, and possibly improve this disease by having an effect on the immune system and improving metabolic disorders of the body.

Hyperlipidemia is a prevalent disease and a major component of the metabolic syndrome resulting from various factors. This disease increases morbidity and mortality when combined with other prevalent diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. The side effects of the current lipid-lowering drugs have increased the tendency to move toward traditional and alternative treatments. Epidemiological observations indicate that using alternative treatments, consumption of medicinal plants, diet, and consumption of fruits have had satisfactory results on the effects of hyperlipidemia in many societies. It should be noted that in majority of societies, even developed countries, the tendency toward eating lipid-lowering medicinal plants has increased extensively. Using these plants especially when common remedies cannot control the disease is significant. Although consumption of medicinal plants by hyperlipidemic patients may show improvement in disease state, drug interaction and side effects may cause complications in disease control. Therefore, in this review, apart from introducing some of the reliable plants effective in inhibition and decrease of hyperlipidemia, the possibility of their intoxication and drug interaction is also presented.

“…This toxicity is thought to result from progressive fibrosis of the kidney interstitium and damage to the renal tubular cells (50). Some herbs can have anti-inflammatory effects, mediated by alteration of prostaglandin synthesis (51), and even influence angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition (52,53), hence, patients who innocently take large quantities of herbs, with these effects, may experience a decline in kidney function (53). It should be noted that various patients are taking a variety of drugs for blood pressure, and often for blood glucose control (36,(54)(55)(56)(57).…”
