Use of medicinal plants in dermato-cosmetology: An ethnobotanical study among the population of Izarène

An ethnobotanical study was carried out among the population riverine of the Izarène forest to enhance and safeguard ancestral knowledge of medicinal plants used in traditional pharmacopeia for the treatment of dermatological diseases. Using 480 questionnaire sheets, ethnobotanical field surveys were conducted during two campaigns (2013 to 2015). The determination of the different survey media was carried out using stratified probability sampling techniques. The ethnobotanical data were analyzed through the calculation of quantitative indices, such as Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC), Family Importance Value index (FIV), Fidelity Level (FL), Informant Consensus Factor (ICF), and the use-value of the Plant Part (PPV). The results show 62 useful plant species, belonging to 34 botanical families. The Lamiaceae family was the most represented (8 species, FIV= 0.037). The highest Relative Citation Frequency (RFC) (0.137) was recorded for Olea europaea L. Concerning the diseases treated, cosmetic use has the highest ICF (0.96), the leaf was considered to be the most used part of the plant (PPV=0.34) and the majority of the remedies were prepared under the form of a poultice. The results obtained could constitute a basis for further studies for the valorization of medicinal plants used against dermatological diseases through biological and phytochemical studies of the inventoried plants.

Total Phenolic Content and Antioxidants Activity in Some Kinds of Medicinal Plants in Syria

Ten medicinal plants were chosen from various plants in Syria which used as spices or cooked and Syria traditional medicine. Their names Rosemary, Damask rose, Chamomile, Sumac, Silver linden, Black cumin, Thyme, Mint, Laurel and lemon balm. Moisture, yield of extraction, total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activities of methanol, ethanol, acetone and aqueous extracts of medicinal plants were investigated. The TPC were measured by Folin-Ciocalteu method, and the antioxidant activity was assessed by the scavenging activity towards 2, 2′-diphenyl- 1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH)-radical.

Study of the Economical Feasibility of Medical and Aromatic Plants Production, Case Study: Rosemary – Lattakia Governorate

Husbandry of the medicinal and aromatic plants in general and “Rosemary” in particular is considered of the alternative economical husbandry that flourished recently in Syria due to the availability of the natural and environmental conditions thereto; in addition to the good economical yield thereof. Interest, encouragement, development, and expansion of such husbandry are considered of the most important targets set for the future strategy of agricultural development in Syria. This Research has targeted to the realization of the following purposes : 1- Analysis of the costs of Rosemary production in Lattakia Governorate. 2- The economical evaluation for Rosemary production in Lattakia Governorate. The research concluded to the following: 1) The achieved annual net profit of one dunum planted with Rosemary in Lattakia Governorate has amounted to SYP /200799.48/. 2) The farming revenue of one dunum planted with Rosemary in Lattakia Governorate has amounted to SYP /206901.84/. 3) The total Economical Feasibility from Rosemary husbandry in Lattakia Governorate has amounted to 3,02

The benefit of the use of medicinal plants in the crop rotation to control the wilt disease and sesame root rot

The experiment was carried out at the research stations of Salo in Deir- Azzor agricultural research center and Tel Sandal in Idlib agricultural research center. Land plots infected previously with sesame wilt disease, Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid, and Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht were cultivated for two growing seasons (2007 and 2008) with medicinal species such as, Cumin (Cuminum-sativum), Black seed (Nigella sativa L.) and Fenugreek (Trigonella foeniculum L.) and another infected plot was left blank as a control plot. Zuri, a local sesame variety, was cultivated in all plots for two growing seasons (2008 and 2009). Results showed that the control plots had the highest percentage of infected sesame plants compared to the lowest percentage found in those plots that had been cultivatd previously with Black seed, Cumin, and Fenugreek. Plots cultivated previously with Black seed gave the highest sesame yield and followed by those plots of Cumin. The The average percentage of germination of sesame, as a phenological growth indicator, was increased in those plots planted before with Cumin and the average number of capsules per plant was increased at both locations by 36.75 capsules after Black seed in comparison with the control.

Control of Varroa jacobsoni Oud. by natural plant substances

This study was conducted in the scientific apiary research in Agriculture Faculty, Damascus University, it was applied on Syrian honeybee colonies, to determine Euggenia caryophyllu and Majorana hortensis efficiency in controlling Varroa jacobsoni Oud., the treatments were varied, from spraying bees with plant extracts, to smoke them by the smoker and feeding on the extracts. These substances showed good efficiency to prevent Varroa jacobsoni development in experimental colonies during three years until now, Majorana hortensis gave a 71.88 % effect when sprayed and Euggenia caryophyllu gave a 62.49 % effect when sprayed too, when we used them only for one application.
