Sarcoptes scabiei (S. scabiei), a parasite mite which causes scabies disease resulting in serious public health concern. The long-term scabies disease can lead to complications such as septicemia, acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis, heart disease, and secondary infections. Timely treatment to the affected patients is required to control the disease and get rid of the causative agent. Delayed diagnosis and inappropriate treatment can lead to serious consequences. The most common treatment strategy is the use of allopathic medicines which can immediately relieve the patient but have the drawback of side effects. The safe and cost-effective alternative treatment strategy is the use of medicinal plants which have beneficial therapeutic potential against variety of diseases due to the presence of many bioactive phytoconstituents with no or minimal side effects. For the present review, the published articles describing scabies disease and its phytotherapeutic modalities were searched through different data bases including Google Scholar, PubMed, Medline, and ScienceDirect using the keywords like S. scabiei, prevalence of scabies disease, and phytotherapy of scabies. A large number of medicinal plants, such as Melaleuca alternifolia, Curcuma longa, Azadirachta indica, Rosmarinus officinalis, Capsicum annuum, Cinnamomum camphor, Solanum nigrum, and Eupatorium perfoliatum, have been reviewed for the promising future treatments of scabies. All the studied plants have many bioactive compounds with potential therapeutic effects against scabies and can be utilized for therapeutic purposes for this disease. This literature study has limitations because of the lack of sufficient data due to limited pre-clinical trials in this particular area. This review provides a baseline to explore the therapeutic potential of these medicinal plants against skin diseases. However, extensive studies are required to identify, authenticate, and characterize the bioactive compounds present in these plants which may lead to value addition in pharmaceutical industries providing the cost-effective way of treatment with minimal side effects.

“…These findings are supported by a number of studies–one example being Turkish and Moroccan immigrants in the Netherlands who thought the concept of ‘good palliative care’ to be contradictory: for them, ‘good care’ was synonymous with intensive and curative treatment[29]. But such concepts are ‘fluid and mutable’, persons may adopt multiple cultural and social identities according to changing circumstances, and wide heterogeneity has been observed within any given cultural group[8, 30]. …”

“…This allowed to identify migrant-specific themes and to avoid ethnic or cultural stereotyping of phenomena. And fourth, the open interviewing technique and thematic analysis enabled the researchers to detect hidden themes such as misconceptions of ‘palliative care’ [7] and the difficulty to talk about the EoL [8]. …”

“…However, the interaction between ethnicity and health care use is complex and unpredictable. Recent evidence from Andean migrants in the UK shows that even within this seemingly homogeneous group very diverse health identities were constructed [8], and research on the interdependence of ethnicity and health care topics such as autonomy or EoL preferences has yielded contradictory results[9]. Therefore, when doing research or implementing EoL care services in these communities, a number of issues are of interest.…”

BackgroundIn patients with life-limiting conditions and a history of migration, a higher risk of not dying at home and limited access to palliative care services has been reported.AimTo explore the views and end-of-life preferences of patients with a migration history in Germany and to identify migration specific themes.DesignTwo-armed study using Kaufmann’s ‘understanding interview’ (‘focused interview’) method and grounded theory approach. Thematic content analysis was applied using MaxQDA 12 software.Setting/ParticipantsMigrant and non-migrant adult patients with far advanced, life-limiting disease receiving palliative care in different specialist level settings (specialist home palliative care, palliative care inpatient unit, inpatient hospice).ResultsThe 37 interviewees (19 native Germans and 18 patients from Europe and the U.S., Israel, Turkey, and Indonesia) expressed eleven themes covering health care- and patient-related issues, of which four emerged to be specific for migrants: worse survival in home country; the perception of an altered identity and ‘not belonging’; language skills as prerequisite to survive; and longing for ‘home’ while being attached to Germany. From these categories, three overarching themes were derived: (1) a limited understanding of the concept of ‘palliative care’; (2) the suppression of end of life discussions for its association with suffering and loss of autonomy; and (3) the significance of complex individual migration histories.ConclusionsBased on these findings, the concept of a ‘double home’ experience is proposed. Barriers to access to palliative care should be minimized for all patients while cultural stereotyping has to be avoided.
