“…In addition, the electroencephalograph studies clearly revealed that fragrances significantly modulate the activities of different brain waves and are responsible for various states of the brain . Aromatherapy massage with lavender oil increased the sleep quality and reduced the level of anxiety in patients with colorectal surgery in the preoperative period, may reduce the incidence of activities of daily living disability in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, inhalation aromatherapy can decrease the level of fatigue in the patients undergoing hemodialysis and reduced anxiety and pain suffered during gynecological examination . Rosemary EO inhalation has therapeutic potential against stress‐related psychiatric disorders and may improve cognitive function in a model of Alzheimer's type dementia …”

Lamiaceae is one of the largest families of flowering plants comprising about 250 genera and over 7,000 species. Most of the plants of this family are aromatic and therefore important source of essential oils. Lamiaceae are widely used as culinary herbs and reported as medicinal plants in several folk traditions. In the Mediterranean area oregano, sage, rosemary, thyme and lavender stand out for geographical diffusion and variety of uses. The aim of this review is to provide recent data dealing with the phytochemical and pharmacological studies, and the more recent applications of the essential oils and the non‐volatile phytocomplexes. This literature survey suggests how the deeper understanding of biomolecular processes in the health and food sectors as per as pest control bioremediation of cultural heritage, or interaction with human microbiome, fields, leads to the rediscovery and new potential applications of well‐known plants.

“…This condition is called postdialysis fatigue (PDF) [4,5]. PDF is very prevalent with an incidence between 49 and 92% among dialysis patients with detrimental effect on their functioning and quality of life [6]. However, there is little knowledge regarding the experience of fatigue of patients on HD, and there has been little success in identifying demographic, psychosocial, or physiological factors that are consistently associated with such fatigue [7].…”

Background: Postdialysis fatigue (PDF) is not an unusual symptom among hemodialysis (HD) patients; however, its causes remain unclear. The aim of this study was to analyze the factors responsible for PDF in maintenance HD patients. Methods: This was a single-center cross-sectional study conducted between March 2018 and March 2019 at the Department of Blood Purification, Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, Capital Medical University. One hundred and fifteen HD patients were enrolled. Clinical data on demographics, comorbidities, and the primary cause of end-stage renal disease were obtained by questionnaires. Laboratory data were collected pre-and post-HD. Participants were divided into 3 groups according to PDF degree. Results: The prevalence of PDF in participants was 60% (n = 69); 26.09% had mild PDF; and 33.91% had severe PDF. In the severe PDF group, the prevalence of intradialytic hypotension (IDH) was 38.46%, significantly higher than in the no PDF group (no-PDF; 8.70%) and mild-PDF (16.67%; p = 0.01 for both) groups. In the severe-PDF group, Charlson comorbidity index score and ultrafiltration rate were significantly higher than those in the no-PDF group (p = 0.040, p = 0.020, respectively). In the severe-PDF group, postdialysis lactic acid (Lac) level was significantly higher than that in the no-PDF or mild-PDF groups (p = 0.013 for both). And in the severe-PDF group, postdialysis sodium (Na) was significantly lower than that in the no-PDF or mild-PDF groups (p = 0.026 for both). It was shown by unconditional logistic regression analysis that IDH occurrence (OR 3.821, 95% CI 1.330-10.975), ultrafiltration rates (OR 1.142, 95% CI 1.018-1.281), lower postdialysis Na level (OR 0.724, 95% CI 0.556-0.942), and higher postdialysis Lac level (OR 2.465, 95% CI 1.126-5.397) were associated with PDF (p = 0.013, p = 0.024, p = 0.016, and p = 0.024, respectively). Conclusions: The prevalence of PDF was high among our study participants. PDF incidence was correlated with the IDH occurrence and higher postdialysis Lac and lower postdialysis Na levels. The level of Lac was a significant influencing factor for the fatigue of patients. More attention should thus be paid to PDF.

“…The results of this study may not be generalized due to the small sample size; therefore, further study is recommended with more patients, longer study periods and in different diseases. Due to the high rates of using complementary medicine, it is necessary to plan for medical training and competent groups to provide the traditional and complementary medicine services more efficiently and securely 27 . In order to relive the pain of patients, most doctors and nurses use pain killers, which increases the medical cost and the risk of side effects.…”

Introduction: This study aimed to determine the effect of wet-cupping on pain intensity in patients with migraines. Method: 132 patients were diagnosed with migraines. Pain intensity was evaluated based on the visual analogue scale. After homogenizing the data, patients were randomly divided into two (wet-cupping and control) groups. Paired t-test, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests were used to analyze the data. Results: The mean of pain intensity of wetcupping (7.61+/-1.29) and control (7.22+/-1.21) before the intervention showed no significant difference (p=0.401). There was a significant difference between the mean of pain relief intensity of wet-cupping (2.4+/-1.9) and control (0.6+/-0.8) groups before and after interventions (p<0.001). Conclusion: Wet-cupping is an effective tool to treat migraine headaches. Trial registration: Current Controlled Trials IRCT201110314495N2
