“…It is called the fever tree based on its strong antimicrobial ability. This herbal medicine is native to the Mediterranean, Australia, and Tasmania area and it has been used as traditional medication for the treatment of numerous diseases including diabetes, pulmonary tuberculosis, bacteria and fungal infections, and influenza [ 244 , 245 , 246 , 247 , 248 , 249 ]. The medical applications of eucalyptus are based on the high antioxidant and antimicrobial abilities of its essential oil [ 62 ].…”

Recently, increasing public concern about hygiene has been driving many studies to investigate antimicrobial and antiviral agents. However, the use of any antimicrobial agents must be limited due to their possible toxic or harmful effects. In recent years, due to previous antibiotics’ lesser side effects, the use of herbal materials instead of synthetic or chemical drugs is increasing. Herbal materials are found in medicines. Herbs can be used in the form of plant extracts or as their active components. Furthermore, most of the world’s populations used herbal materials due to their strong antimicrobial properties and primary healthcare benefits. For example, herbs are an excellent material to replace nanosilver as an antibiotic and antiviral agent. The use of nanosilver involves an ROS-mediated mechanism that might lead to oxidative stress-related cancer, cytotoxicity, and heart diseases. Oxidative stress further leads to increased ROS production and also delays the cellular processes involved in wound healing. Therefore, existing antibiotic drugs can be replaced with biomaterials such as herbal medicine with high antimicrobial, antiviral, and antioxidant activity. This review paper highlights the antibacterial, antiviral, and radical scavenger (antioxidant) properties of herbal materials. Antimicrobial activity, radical scavenger ability, the potential for antimicrobial, antiviral, and anticancer agents, and efficacy in eliminating bacteria and viruses and scavenging free radicals in herbal materials are discussed in this review. The presented herbal antimicrobial agents in this review include clove, portulaca, tribulus, eryngium, cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, thyme, pennyroyal, mint, fennel, chamomile, burdock, eucalyptus, primrose, lemon balm, mallow, and garlic, which are all summarized.

The study aimed to explore the potential of lemon peel extracts as a cosmetic raw material, with a focus on their aromatic, antimicrobial and various biological activities. Lemon peel essential oil (PLEO), extract (PLE) and absolute oil (PLAO) were prepared by steam distillation and organic solvent extraction, respectively. The compositions of PLEO, PLE and PLAO were analyzed by GC/MS, revealing 22, 39, and 9 components respectively, with terpenoids being the main component. PLE had the highest total flavonoid content, and surpassing that of total polyphenols. Aroma intensity, measured with an electronic pen, followed the order LPEO > LPE > LPAO, while aroma persistence was ranked LPAO > LPEO > LPE. All three lemon peel extracts showed strong antibacterial (against E. coli, S. aureus, and C.albicans), as well as antioxidant and anti-tyrosinase properties, with inhibition rates exceeding 90% in a dose-dependent manner. LPEO demonstrated superior anti-inflammatory effects compared to LPAO and LPE, with inhibitory rates of 87.79 ± 3.86% and 80.75 ± 2.33% on TNF-α and IL-6 at a concentration of 1×10− 2 mg/mL. Lemon peel extract was found to promote HaCat cell migration, with LPEO showing greater effectiveness than LPE and LPAO. The healing rate of scratched HaCat cells treated with LPEO at a concentration of 1×10− 2 µL/mL for 12 hours was 95.29 ± 3.41%. In conclusion, the combination of these extracts could broaden their applications in cosmetics by offering aroma-enhancing, antioxidant, whitening, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and skin wound healing benefits.
