Introduction: HTN is the most major modifiable risk factor for kidney and cardiovascular disease in terms of quantity, as well as the main risk factor for mortality. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine how frequently alternative medicines were used by hypertensive patients in Saudi Arabia. Methods: Using an electronically distributed questionnaire, crosssectional research of 774 Saudi citizens was conducted. The information gathered covered participant demographics, knowledge and perceptions of HM, and HM usage. Results: A total of 75.5% of participants used the herbal products. Rosella tea (14.3%) and peppermint tea (12.3%) were the two most frequently used. Additionally, 61.2% of participants used alternative medicine: Sports (27.75%) and cupping were the two most popular methods.The main two reasons for using complementary and alternative medicine were to protect their health (38.6) and to decrease their symptoms (33.1).Information was primarily obtained from friends and family (48.9%). The most common side effect of using complementary and alternative medicine was a headache (13%). Conclusion: Most participants had used herbal, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for HTN. CAM use in our population was not influenced by gender, marital status, level of education, nationality, region, or monthly income.

In recent years, discovering new drug candidates has become a top priority in research. Natural products have proven to be a promising source for such discoveries as many researchers have successfully isolated bioactive compounds with various activities that show potential as drug candidates. Among these compounds, phenolic compounds have been frequently isolated due to their many biological activities, including their role as antioxidants, making them candidates for treating diseases related to oxidative stress. The isolation method is essential, and researchers have sought to find effective procedures that maximize the purity and yield of bioactive compounds. This review aims to provide information on the isolation or separation methods for phenolic compounds with antioxidant activities using column chromatography, medium-pressure liquid chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, counter-current chromatography, hydrophilic interaction chromatography, supercritical fluid chromatography, molecularly imprinted technologies, and high-performance thin layer chromatography. For isolation or purification, the molecularly imprinted technologies represent a more accessible and more efficient procedure because they can be applied directly to the extract to reduce the complicated isolation process. However, it still requires further development and refinement.

Aim: This study aimed to assess the prevalence, knowledge and perception of Jazan province residents about traditional herbal medication. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done on 440 Saudi residents using an electronically distributed questionnaire. The questionnaire included 39 items divided into 4 parts. Data collected were about demographic characters, knowledge and perception about HM, and HM usage among participants. Results: Most of the participants used HM for therapeutic purposes (80.9%) and (29.5%) believed that mixing herbs together led to more effective results. The participants agreed to a very high degree that inherited culture plays an important role in HM use, however (84.5%) of them never used herbs. The participants used herbs mostly for treatment of diabetes mellitus representing (37%) and hypertension (20.5%). Age, marital status, and the job of participants had a statistically significant effect on participants’ views about HM. While, gender, educational level, income, place of residence and chronic diseases had no statistically significant effect. Conclusion: The highest percentage of the participants used HM for therapeutic purposes. Increasing awareness of Saudi population about instructions and restrictions when using HM is greatly needed.
