Kyllinga vaginata Lam. a native species of Paraguay, which is popularly known as “kapiikati”, is marketed by Spanish hebalists known as “yuyeras”. K. vaginata Lam. has many pharmacologic effects such as diuretic, antispasmodic, diaphoretic, also used for the treatment of fungal diseases like leucorrhea. Its secondary metabolites are useful array of natural products with remarkable biological activities in medicinal components, food additives therapies, aromatic, and culinary purposes. In the current research phytochemical experiments revealed that the presence of several natural products in the rhizome of K. vaginata (ethanol crude extract), such as flavonoids, phenolic compounds and lipids. With the evidence of traditional anti-leucorrhea uses, the present study also investigated to explore hidden alternative antifungal activity of K. vaginata . As a result of this translational approach, microorganism inhibition growth tests were performed on these crude EtOH extracts and revealed antifungal activity against Fusarium graminearum , a phytopathogen of wheat. Useful identification features are cited for a fast/economic quality control of the rhizome of K. vaginata , the presence of secondary metabolites are declared and main chemical families of biologically active compounds are proposed for the first time for K. vaginata . Finally antioxidant activity of these roots were studied and the inhibitory activity against F. graminearum , proposed by this translational approach.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease with no known cure. Patients of RA can suffer years of pain and inflammation. So far no known treatment provides a low cost and effective solution to the problem of pain and inflammation. The author attempted to solve this problem through a clinical aromatherapy approach by employing a rubefacient procedure. The author applied this procedure to three subjects. The author also advised those subjects to maintain a proper diet and exercise to maximize the effect of the procedure.

Received : June 25, 2020 Published : July 18, 2020 Endometriosis is associated with imbalances of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) which correlate with symptoms: Whereas cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 are downregulated, plasma levels of endocannabinoids (AEA, 2-AG and PEA) are elevated. In addition, levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) which are important for a wide range of pathological processes including spreading of cells and inflammation are also high in ectopic endometrium. Cannabinoids including cannabidiol (CBD) are known to interact wit the ECS. Among other mechanisms, they decrease MMP production and therefore invasiveness of cells. As endometrial cells have a hyperproliferative phenotype and pro-angiogenic properties, it may be argued that the decrease of MMPs by CBD could also reduce endometriosis. At present, only population-based surveys suggest that cannabinoids reduce pain and other symptoms in women affected by endometriosis. Whereas a majority of women who have used cannabis confirm its efficacy, it is not without risks. Of the two main active compounds, d9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), CBD has the advantage of not being psychotomimetic, therefore not causing the typical “high”. It is not a “scheduled drug”, does not interfere with workplace testing or police controls when driving, and is well tolerated also when taken as long-term treatment. Pure CBD is devoid of potential impurities which are frequently found in “street cannabis”. This could be a safe and novel approach for the treatment of endometriosis.
