Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disorder, presents a significant challenge for both patients and healthcare providers. This study explores the potential of natural compounds in Psoriasis management. Neem (Azadirachta indica) and Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) demonstrate notable anti-inflammatory effects, targeting the underlying inflammation associated with Psoriasis. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) contains curcumin, a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent, offering promise in modulating the aberrant immune responses observed in Psoriasis. Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis) and Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) exhibit both anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, suggesting potential benefits in reducing redness, scaling, and secondary infections. Santalum album (Sandalwood) provides a calming effect on the skin, while Calendula (Calendula officinalis) offers anti-inflammatory support, promoting skin healing in Psoriasis lesions. Allium sativum (Garlic) and Thai ginger (Zingiber officinale) contribute allicin and gingerol, respectively, known for their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial actions, complementing the management of Psoriasis symptoms. Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) and Mahonia aquifolium (Oregon Grape) exhibit immunomodulatory properties, potentially regulating the immune responses underlying Psoriasis pathogenesis.

Asafoetida is a gum-like substance with a strong odour used for many years in traditional medicine and cooking. However, growing the Ferula plant from which it is derived is challenging because it requires specific growing conditions. A study was conducted to see if it is feasible to grow Ferula Asafoetida in a controlled environment with an HVAC system. The researchers grew two groups of Ferula plants using different methods: outdoors and in a greenhouse with an HVAC system that maintained the temperature at 20-25°C and the humidity at 50-60%.The results showed that the Ferula plants grown in the greenhouse with the HVAC system produced a lot more gum-like resin than the plants grown outdoors. Additionally, the plants grown in the greenhouse had a more uniform growth pattern and fewer problems with pests and diseases. In summary, the study suggests that growing Ferula Asafoetida in a controlled environment with an HVAC system can increase yields and improve the health of the plants. This could benefit commercial Asafoetida production and make...
