“…Five cases (4.2%) were males (Two cases of psoriasis, Two cases of vitiligo and one case of eczema) and one case of psoriasis (3%) in females. Cupping was used widely to treat skin conditions [10,12,20]. Cupping has been used in the treatment of vitiligo where blister roofs induced by cupping were able to regiment vitiliginous patches in 80% of the patients with good coloring match, without any cosmetic disfigurement at the donor sites [21].…”

Background: Cupping Therapy (CT) has been reported as treatment for several skin conditions such as acne, post herpetic neuralgia, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and urticaria. Although it is often considered as part of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it has been widely practiced in the Middle East and the rest of the world for centuries. In Basra, a city in the southern part of Iraq, cupping therapy is often used by alternative medicine practitioners for treating skin disorders. However, limited is known about the clinical and histological effects of cupping therapy on the skin.

ObjectivesNJ is being used to treat inflammatory diseases in Korea. In this study, we attempted to evaluate the effects of NJ on atopic dermatitis (AD)-like lesions and mast cell-mediated allergy inflammation in vivo and in vitro. Methods and ResultsWe investigated to ascertain the pharmacological effects of NJ on 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB)-induced allergic reactions under in vivo conditions. Additionally, to find possible explanations for the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of NJ, we evaluated the regulatory effects of NJ on the level of inflammatory mediators in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate plus calcium ionophore A23187 (PMACI)-stimulated human mast cells (HMC-1). ConclusionsNJ inhibited the production of the inflammatory cytokines (IgE, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α) significantly in vivo and in vitro.

“…There is currently a renovated needs of indigo plants because of the demand for natural dyes and daily necessities such as soap and plastic products (Velho et al, 2017). Indigo is also used in traditional Chinese medicines to treat systemic psoriasis and leukemia (Koo & Arain, 1998;Xiao et al, 2002).…”

Although the blue dye indigo has been chemically synthesized for over a century, there is an increasing interest in the indigo plant (Polygonum tinctorium) as a source of natural dyes and medicines. To maintain a stable supply of P. tinctorium throughout the year, we examined the effect of two harvesting methods on the leaf yield of this plant under a closed-cultivation system. With method 8c-M, all shoot branches >8 cm of the stem bottom were harvested and under method 2b-M, all branches, but two, were harvested at the stem bottom. Both methods enabled sustainable leaf yields from the same plants over 1 year. The total weight of shoot branches harvested by 8c-M was 1.86-3.11 times higher that of shoot branches harvested by 2b-M. Harvesting by 8c-M resulted in shoot branch weights lower than those from plants harvested with the 2b-M. Leaf/shoot ratio was increased in plants harvested by 8c-M. The content of indican, the precursor of indigo, in leaves was not significantly different between the two harvesting methods. Our data may provide a new continuous cultivation method of leaf crops all over years in controlled-cultivation systems.
