Clarifying the effectiveness and adverse effects of this product is becoming more important. Calendula officinalis and Taraxacum officinale both commonly using in herbal-based therapies due to the speculated antibacterial and anti-cancer effects of them. Several effects of these plants have been associated with their ingredients, such as phytochemicals, flavonoids, essential oils, etc. In this study, we aimed to investigate antibacterial effects and potential anticancer effects of commercial Calendula officinalis and Taraxacum officinale products obtained from herbalist. Antibacterial effects of methanolic extracts of Calendula officinalis and Taraxacum officinale were evaluated via microbroth dilution technique using the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) recommendations. Anti-cancer effects were evaluated with the MTT cytotoxicity test on the human neuroblastoma cell line (SH-SY5Y). Our results indicate that commercial products show lower antibacterial effects separately and with 1:1 combination that was reported in previous different studies. It has been...

The current study was performed to prepare a three-layered homemade mask by simple procedure with the help of easily available raw materials at home in minimum duration without any major equipment like a stitching machine. The masks are useful to protect us against SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory pathogens according to recently issued guidelines by the centre for disease control and prevention. The homemade mask was prepared by commonly available materials at home and easily prepared by using the simple procedure, which was described step by step in the current study. The simple procedure was consisting of only seven steps that were described in the text and practical aspect, also. Finally, an evaluation of the cost and duration of one mask was also done. The results of the study revealed that the mask could easily and successfully prepared to follow the seven steps of the simple procedure, which was performed and shown theoretically and practically in the study. It was also found that the mask was prepared only in average...

Objective: The main objective of this study is to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of hydroethanolic extract of the entire plant except for the roots and flowers of Delosperma cooperi (Family: Aizoaceae), also known as hard ice-plant by in -vitro protein denaturation method. However, the anti-inflammatory effects of D. cooperi has not been studied. Method: The D. cooperi were extracted by the soxhlation method by using the hydroethanolic solution (60; 40) ratio. Then the extract was evaporated to dryness in order to yield dried crude extract of D. cooperi. The preliminary studies of phytochemicals were done for the confirmation of the presence of active constituents for the effective pharmacological activity. The anti-inflammatory activity was analyzed by using chicken’s egg albumin denaturation method (in-vitro). The hydroethanolic extract was found to have a high ability to inhibit protein denaturation that was evaluated by using a UV spectrophotometer. Result: The extracts of D. cooperi exhibited concentration-dependent protein (Albumin) denaturation inhibition. The effect of the test sample was found to be good when compared...
