The aim of this study is to evaluate Jordanian Women's opinions, beliefs, and practices towards using different medicinal plants for postpartum health problems care. Method: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 300 mothers aged 18 years and above. A structured valid and reliable questionnaire was used for collecting personal, medical and nutritional related data including: gestational weight gain characteristics, the effect of delivery and breast feeding on postpartum weight gain and herbal tea consumption for the management of different postpartum health problems such as postpartum colic, flatulence, spasm, maternal bleeding, lactation and weight gain. The above data where collected through a personal interview by the trained investigators. Results: Around 45% of participants were overweight or obese with average post-pregnancy BMI of 25.1±4.94 kg/m2. Majority of participants (84%) used one or more medicinal plants after delivery to control their postpartum health problems. The participants may seek herbal help mainly for maternal purposes such as decreasing post-delivery colic, flatulence and spasm (52.9%), treating maternal postpartum bleeding (41.7%) and lactation enhancement (41.0%). Conversely, only 9.0% of participants used herbals for weight control. The most commonly used herbals were cinnamon (49.0%), sage (42.0%), and anise (38.0%). Conclusions: The potential risk of medicinal plant self-medication is high for managing postpartum complications that need a professional evidence-based practice recommendation

Antimicrobial compounds have been used for decades in poultry diets to increase performance and decrease morbidity particularly in broiler chickens. However, consumer pressure related to the potential development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria ha s resulted in the development of non-antibiotic feed additives that may also improve broiler erformance. In recent years, aromatic plants and their extracts have received attention as growth and health promoters. Such products have several advantages over commonly used commercial antibiotics since they are residue free and they are also, generally recognized as safe and commonly used items in the food industry. The antimicrobial properties of medical plants and their extracts have been widely reported because they consist of many active ompounds such as carvacrol, eugenol,which partition lipids in the bacterial cell wall and mitochondria, disturbing the structures and rendering them more permeable. Generally,medical plants are slightly more active against Gram-positive than Gramnegative bacteria. Medical plants are well known for their antioxidant activity and show a considerable effect on increasing the antioxidant capacity of chicken meat because they consist of many of active compounds such as tocopherol, carvacrol. Spices or their active principles have been reported to stimulate digestive secretions such as lipase, amylase and proteases.because they consist of many active compounds such as anothol, eugenol. Variable effects of medical plants and their extracts on the productive performance of broiler have been reported. The majority of experimental results indicate improved body weight gain or final body weight and feed conversion ratio.
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 ques tionnaire 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.
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 (Tas si) 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.
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. Mois ture, 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.
The medicinal and aromatic plants (thyme Khalili) is one of important economic crops were introduced to the Syrian Agriculture recently "as one of the most important alternative crops, especially" in the coastal region, The goal of research is to c larify the economic importance of agriculture thyme Khalili in the coastal region, This study was conducted on all farmers who were counted on the ground in Tartous and Latakia Governorates, there were 213 farmers ,with planted area reached to 565 acres in 2015.The indicatives of economical feasibility based on data and statements gathered from site of research and relying,were used in the economical evaluation .The study showed that the totally achieved profit per annum from one acre of (thyme khalili) amounted to 151451.81 Syrian Pounds , and profitability coefficient in proportion to the productivity cost has amounted to 283.64%, also the time indicator of capital recovery for (Thyme Khalili) has amounted to 2.82 years.
