Read More Background: Respiratory diseases are often caused by the lack of lung energy flow manifested in shortness of breath, generalized weakness, extreme fatigue, and even reluctance to speak. This study evaluates four plants for the respiratory system from a pharmacological perspective. Thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.), sage (Salvia officinalis L), peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) and hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis L.) are discussed from a modern pharmacological perspective, including their scientific name and family, the used parts, active ingredients, therapeutic properties, pharmacological effects, indications, and available medicines. Botany features such as plant shape, description, distribution, and cultivation, including suitable places, range, and cultivation method, are further investigated.Methods: Information such as the used plant parts, therapeutic properties, pharmacological effects, indications, and medicine forms were gathered through data collection, library resources, written articles, and reference books. Other information such as plant shape and description, planting method, time, and more were obtained by planting seedlings in a research departments affiliated with the Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Agriculture and Natural Resources Research and Education Center.Results: These medicinal plants, such as Salvia officinalis, contain “Terpene”, “Selenium” and other substances, and clean the sinuses and relieve respiratory and lung disorders. Due to its high “polyphenols” content, this plant protects lung tissue against bacteria which may pose risk and cause infection in the respiratory system. Respiratory diseases are often caused by low energy manifested in short inhalation and exhalation, generalized weakness, extreme fatigue, and even reluctance to speak. Natural substances and plants are useful for treating respiratory problems. Conclusion: Due to its significance for sustaining human life, even minor respiratory disruptions such as smoking, vitamin deficiency, and other factors cause diseases such as seasonal allergies, bronchitis, tuberculosis, asthma, pulmonary edema, lung problems, pneumonia, and lung cancer.

Read More Background: Medicinal plants contain plant materials such as leaf, root, flower and seed using for producing drugs. Essential oils and extracts of various species of edible and medicinal plants, herbs, and spices constitute of very potent natural biologically active agents. Allium jesdianum Boiss and Dorema aucheri Boiss are an important and endangered medicinal plants that main habitats are located in the Zagros Mountains of Iran. Allium jesdianum (Alliaceae family) and Dorema aucheri belongs to Umbelliferae family were collected at summer 2020 from Yasouj in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-ahmad province during to fruiting stage. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate composition of essential oil of Allium Jesdianum and Dorema aucheri from Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-ahmad province in south west of Iran.Methods: The essential oils of Allium jesdianum and Dorema aucheri were obtained by hydro distillation using a Clevenger type apparatus and in Dorema aucheri was extracted by n-hexane and were analyzed by GC/MS.Results: (E)-Caryophyllene (14.63%), γ-Cadinene (8.58%), Hexadecanoic acid (6.11%), Caryophyllene oxide (5.15%), (E,E)-α-Farnesene (4.05%), Z-Phytol (3.22%), δ-Cadinene (3.18%), Camphor (3.04%) and γ-Eudesmol (2.92%) were the most components of Dorema aucheri, whereas Hexadecanoic acid (18.34%%), Neral (Z-Citral) (13.74%), Dimethyl trisulfide (12.15%), Caryophyllene oxide (8.05%), Gereninal (E-Citral) (5.25%), Borneol (3.31%), Trans-propenyl propyl disulfide (3.17%), Geranyl acetate (2.74%), and β-Caryophyllene (2.65%) were the most constituents in Allium jesdianum oil, respectively.Conclusion: Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad has good ethnobotanical potential for medicinal plants. This study is the first contribution to the ethnobotany of this region. We have gathered from this province some considerable knowledge about local medicinal plants such as Allium jesdianum and Dorema aucheri for treating common health problem that is ready to be further investigated in the laboratory.
