In the present study, we investigate the antilipidemic effect of the aqueous extract Cymbopogon citratus. Background: Lemongrass is an aromatic plant belonging to the Gramineae family. C. citratus has been cultivated over many years for medicinal purposes in different countries throughout the world. Earlier in research, it was reported that the elevated cholesterol concentration was significantly lowered in the animals given the plant extract. This reduction was found to be dose-dependent. We attempt to evaluate the antilipidemic effect of aqueous extract of roots and flower of C. citratus in mice. Methods: Aqueous extract of roots and flower of Cymbopogon citratus evaluated for antilipidemic activity in mice. Blood was collected by intracardiac puncture, under mild ether anesthesia, and the total serum cholesterol, HDL, and LDL of treated mice were examined. Results: we observed that there is a significant decrease in the cholesterol levels in mice administered with root and flower extracts, there was an increase in HDL level and decrease in the LDL level in groups treated with the extracts. Conclusion: In this study, we found that there was a significant decrease in the cholesterol level of C. citratus root and flower extract administered group in comparison to the cholesterol-induced group. A better antihypercholesterol activity was observed with root extract.

“…Unterschiedliche entzündliche Prozesse werden bisher somit behandelt: Zahnfleischentzündungen, Verletzungen, Verstauchungen, Blutergüsse, Aphten. Bei rheumatischen Beschwerden wird Arnika als einer der häufigsten alternativen Therapien verwendet [23]. Von der Komission E werden neben den antiphlogistischen auch die analgetischen und antiseptischen Eigenschaften genannt.…”

ZusammenfassungDie Entwicklung neuer zielgerichteter medikamentöser Therapien hat zu einer deutlichen Verbesserung der Behandlung der akuten Entzündungsaktivität geführt. Die größere Herausforderung stellt im Alltag oftmals jedoch der Umgang mit bereits eingetretenen Behinderungen und Schmerzen dar. Hierfür gibt es zahlreiche adjuvante Möglichkeiten, deren Stellenwert im Beitrag erörtert wird.

“…It was not possible to consider the toxicity of secondary plant ingredients, as full data are not available. However, regarding the content of the salicylic compounds, there seems to be consensus in the literature that willow bark has a broader mechanism of action and is devoid of serious adverse events in comparison with aspirin (Vlachojannis et al, 2014;Dragos et al, 2017).…”

This Technical Report contains a description of the activities within the work programme of the EU‐FORA Fellowship on the risk assessment of white willow in food. The bark of different varieties of willow has had a long history of medical use as a means to reduce fever and as a painkiller. Willow bark is also used in weight loss and sports performance food supplements. The labelling of these products usually does not mention any restrictions to the length of use. The recommended doses for foods differ, sometimes exceeding doses recommended for pharmaceuticals. A systematic literature review on adverse effects potentially resulting from oral exposure to white willow (Salix alba) was performed. The aim of the study was to assess the risk for humans when consuming white willow bark in food. The preliminary results show that despite the long history of use only very limited data on toxicity of white willow bark are available. However, anaphylactic reactions in people with a history of allergy to salicylates may occur. Some other adverse effects of salicylates are considered to be of low relevance for the long‐time consumption of white willow bark, mainly due to relatively low concentrations of salicin and the presence of compounds with gastroprotective action. However, it seems that the content of heavy metals, mainly cadmium, should be further addressed in risk assessment of white willow bark in food.
