MEDICINAL PLANTSMedicinal plants have been
identified and used throughout human history. Plants have the
ability to synthesize a wide variety of chemical compounds
that are used to perform important biological functions,
and to defend against attack from predators such as insects, fungi
and herbivorous mammals.

• Synergic medicine- The ingredients of plants all interact
simultaneously, so their uses can complement or damage
others or neutralize their possible negative effects.
• Support of official medicine- In the treatment of complex cases
like cancer diseases the components of the plants proved to be
very effective.

• Preventive medicine- It has been proven that the component
of the plants also characterize by their ability to prevent the
appearance of some diseases. This will help to reduce the use of
the chemical remedies which will be used when the disease is
already present i.e., reduce the side effect of synthetic treatment.

Peppermint (Mentha × piperita, also known as M. balsamea Willd.) is
a hybrid mint, a cross between watermint and spearmint.The plant, indigenous to Europe and the Middle
East, is now widespread in cultivation in many regions of the world.It is found wild occasionally
with its parent species.

CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTSPeppermint has a high menthol
content.The oil also contains menthone and menthyl esters, particularly menthyl acetate.Dried peppermint typically has
0.3-0.4% of volatile oil containing menthol (7-48%), menthone (20-46%), menthyl acetate (3-10%), menthofuran (1-17%)
and 1,8-cineol (3-6%).Peppermint oil also contains small amounts of many
additional compounds including limonene, pulegone, caryophyllene and pinene.

in the sunflower family (Asteraceae). The genus name
Arnica may be derived from the Greek arni, "lamb", in reference to the soft, hairy
leaves.

MEDICINAL USESCommercial Arnica preparations are
frequently used by professional athletes. According to The Memorial Sloan-
Kettering Cancer Center, "A few clinical trials suggest benefits of topical arnica
for osteoarthritis; and for affecting significant reduction of bruising
compared to placebo or low concentration vitamin K ointments.
However, a small study reported that topical arnica actually increased pain 24
hours after calf exercises."
