“…Outcomes of a pilot study of five patients in Ohio with burns over less than 5% of body surface who were seen by physicians or nurses in an emergency department showed there were no infections, healing times were comparable to conventional burn care, and the need for pain medications during dressing changes was minimal (Amish Burn Study Group, et al 2015). Main, et al (2012) conducted a survey of Anabaptist communities who used this treatment in their homes. Thirty-two respondents described care of mild to severe burns with limited pain, rapid healing, and minimal scarring.…”

Amish and Mennonites have a long standing heritage of caring for each other within the community and family setting using natural, herbal medicines and therapies. For several decades, in numerous Anabaptist communities across the United States, a burns and wounds treatment has been popularized by the training of hundreds of lay caregivers. Little is known outside these communities about the experiences of these caregivers dedicated to providing burns and wounds care. The aim of this study was to describe the lived experience of caregivers who use the Burns & Wounds ointment (B&W) and burdock leaf treatment. Twelve caregivers (eight women and four men) who provide care in five states were interviewed. They ranged in age from 34 to 55 years with eight to 12 years of care. Data were analyzed manually by content analysis. Four major themes provide a rich, in-depth description. Rewarding work with heavy responsibility and decisive action then waiting to heal are accounts of personal commitments to caregiving. Selfreliance along with collaboration portrays family and community involvement. Treatment disallowed versus negotiated support describes caregivers' interactions with health care professionals. The use of the B&W burdock treatment is embedded in the cultural beliefs of these lay caregivers attending to their own, using natural products when possible, while respecting health care professionals' knowledge and abilities. They believe their treatment reduces the need for skin grafts, high doses of analgesics, and cost. Their wish is for medical supervision of their patients, including vital signs and hydration, while they provide wound care.

“…The highest influence on intensity growth focus at 1/2 dilution for clove water and alcoholic extract, Arctium alcoholic extract, and Chamomile alcoholic extract for isolates No.4 ( Figure-5). Many studies reported the extract of Arctium minus L. leaves and Matricaria chamomilla flowers showed successful treatment to the burned or damage areas of the skin [33,34]. Clove oil showed strong antibacterial activity against all bacterial isolates tested [35] and crude extracts of Alhagi maurorum showed antibacterial and antioxidant activities [36].…”

Twenty clinical and fecal samples (ten clinical samples from patients attending to Imam Ali Hospital and ten chicken faeces samples collected from local poultry farm in Baghdad city) collected during December 2015, for isolated Klebsiella pneumoniae. All K. pneumoniae isolates were extended-spectrum β-lactamase producers and biofilm formation. The activities of two selected K. pneumoniae isolates for their biofilm formation and susceptibility to antibiotics after treatment with several plants extracts were investigated. The results of water and 60% ethanol extracts for Matricaria chamomile flowers, Alhagi maurorum leafs, Syzygium aromaticum buds (clove) and Arctium minus leafs were showed reduction of biofilm formation and change the ability of antibiotic susceptibility for these two tested K. pneumoniae isolates. The indirect effect of plants extracts on the bacterial growth may be causing indirect effect on the metabolic activity and DNA (chromosome or plasmid) of cells. All tested plant extract contain many antimicrobial and antioxidant component by using GC-mass. Keywords
