Description
Oral Health and Systemic Diseases
Advanced periodontal disease is linked to both an increased risk of death and many chronic diseases, including:
-
Cardiovascular disease
-
Type 2 diabetes
-
Cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease
-
Cancer
Causes and Risk Factors
-
Dysbiosis in the mouth (ie, an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in the mouth) is thought to be an important cause of periodontal disease
-
Risk factors for periodontal disease include smoking, older age (especially 65 or older), and female gender
Signs and Symptoms
-
Hot and cold sensitivity and tooth pain may signal the presence of a cavity
-
Gum redness, swelling, sensitivity, and bleeding during brushing and flossing may occur in periodontal disease. There may also be gum recession, deepening pockets between teeth and gums, and bleeding on probing.
You may be unaware that neglecting oral hygiene harms more than your smile. Poor oral health is linked to heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, chronic kidney disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and osteoporosis Periodontal disease is also associated with a significantly increased risk of death from any cause . These concerning associations are linked to systemic inflammation, which can be triggered by periodontal disease.
But there is good news. Periodontal disease treatment has been associated with improvements in overall health such as reduced systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, blood pressure, and early atherosclerosis; and some evidence suggests that treatment of periodontal disease may help improve blood sugar control among diabetics. Periodontal treatment has even been proposed as a strategy for reducing the risk of dying from heart disease. (information source)

Cymbopogon
Candida species is one of the most prevalent fungal pathogens worldwide and prone to forming biofilms which have been extensively identified in human body, hospital environment, and medical materals. Infections caused by Candida biofilms usually exhibit high degree of tolerance to antifungal therapies and thus pose a serious threat to human health. Although microorganisms are able to form single-species biofilm, it is more common that two or more microorganisms coexist in biofilms. Such multi-species biofilms can significantly increase the resistance of commensal microbes to conventional antimicrobic therapies and host immune system. Although several studies have confirmed the antimicrobial abilities of lemongrass essential oil and its major component citral, killing effects on multi-species biofilms as well as the working mechanism of action were not determined.

Ocimum basilicum
Ocimum basilicum L. (O. basilicum) and its constituents show antiinflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant effects. The plant has been mainly utilized in traditional medicine for the treatment of respiratory disorders. Phytochemical analysis and pharmacological studies showed that linalool is the main constituent of O. basilicum concerning both the amount and pharmacological activities of the plant. O. basilicum leaves have a strong antioxidant effect due to the existence of some constituents such as eugenol and vicenin. In addition, this plant showed anti-inflammatory properties due to the presence of citronellol, limonene, and eugenol in its leaf. (information source)

BRASSICA NIGRA
The recorded use of mustard as a medicinal plant dates back to the first century CE in Greece, where the physician Dioscorides recommended the topical application of a mustard seed poultice to reduce inflammation in his herbal medicine encyclopedia De Materia Medica.7 In Unani literature (the Greco-Arabic system of traditional medicine), mustard seed is recommended for a variety of conditions, including neuralgia, epilepsy, sciatica, leprosy, gout, pleurisy, and pneumonia.5 In Ayurveda, the system of traditional medicine practiced for thousands of years in India, the therapeutic uses of mustard are well documented. The Ayurvedic practice considers mustard seed oil derived from the brown mustard plant to be pungent and warming, and documents external uses such as a massage oil and a hair tonic; for skin diseases like vitiligo; skin infections like acne; and hemorrhoids.8 Mustard seeds were processed into a paste and used as a poultice to treat internal conditions such as tumors of the thyroid gland and lymphadenitis (swelling of lymph nodes). Mustard seeds were also decocted in water and used as a poultice for cracked skin, leprosy, rheumatoid arthritis, acne, and as a rinse for mouth sores. Internally, mustard oil traditionally was used to lower blood lipid levels, reduce build-up of fat or adipose tissue, treat intestinal worms, and assist detoxification of the body. Mustard seeds were also included in traditional herbal formulas used to induce vomiting and cleanse the cranial cavity via nasal irrigation, and as a decoction in an enema therapy.8 Though mustard leaves were more commonly consumed as a vegetable, they were also used as an ingredient for steam fomentation and to cleanse the cranial cavity. In recent studies, mustard has shown antitumor effects and other beneficial properties against chronic conditions, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, weight gain, and neuropathic disease. It might also act as a protective agent against acute conditions such as fungal infection and influenza. Mustard has antimicrobial and antiviral properties and shows protective effects against microbe- and virus-induced damage. One rodent study on viral hepatitis found that mustard extract protected against liver and kidney damage. The mechanism of this protective action is thought to be related to the anti-inflammatory activity of the compounds in mustard such as terpenes.21 This is of specific interest because it shows that the protective properties of mustard go beyond antibiotic properties and may protect against viruses as well.

Crocus sativa
The healing properties of saffron are recorded in Materia Medica by Pedanio Dioscorides, a Greek medical practitioner of the first century A.D. Physicians like Hippocrates and Pliny have used it in cases of excessive drunkenness, loss of male potency, and as an aphrodisiac. Modern medicine has acknowledged several therapeutic effects and pharmaceutical applications of saffron. Medicinal properties of saffron are attributed to the presence of volatile as well as nonvolatile aroma yielding compounds. The red stigmas of Crocus sativus accumulate different bioactive compounds amongst which safranal, crocin, campherol, picrocrocin, crocetin, α- and βcarotenes are of prime importance. The ability to synthesize these compounds is not common across species. Picrocrocin and crocin have been detected only in saffron (Crocus species), Buddleja, and Gardenia. (information source)
Research on the physicochemical and biochemical properties of saffron along with the bioactivity of its compounds, has confirmed its role in pharmacognosy. A vast number of papers have been published focusing on cancer, antioxidant properties, sedative effect, neuronal injury, etc. Saffron and its constituents are considered an efficient treatment for coronary artery diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, bronchitis, asthma, diabetes, fever, and colds. It is a promising natural medicine in treating metabolic syndrome. It is a potent natural antioxidant used in folk medicine to treat cold, scarlet fever, and asthma. Several in vivo studies have confirmed the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory role of ethanol or aqueous extracts of saffron, safranal, and crocin reported crocin to be a more potent antioxidant agent than α tocopherol. Reduction of blood bilirubin level and decreased blood cholesterol and triglycerides after using crocetin and crocin have also been reporte. The anticancer properties of saffron have also been reported.
Ethnobotanical use in epidemics
Saffron has been included by Unani medicine among the drugs used during the epidemic. Stamen of saffron can be used as a fumigant for sanitizing the environment due to the antimicrobial activity of its volatile oils. Ibn-Rushd (1126–1198 CE), a great scholar born in Spain commonly known by the name Averroes, describes a medicine that he claims a savior during an epidemic as ‘whoever has used this formulation during an epidemic remained protected from it.’ The composition of this medicine is as follows: Two parts of saffron along with Aleovera L. and Commiphora myrrha Nees Engl. one part each. Both traditional and experimental evidence suggests the possible therapeutic effect of saffron and its constituents on various aspects of health, which can be helpful in the management of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic as well . Ancient Iranian physician, Avicenna, has stated that saffron oil can facilitate breath and strengthen the respiratory organs. Four cumulative concentrations of a hydro-ethanolic extract of saffron and its constituent safranal were tested on guinea pig tracheal smooth muscle, and the effect was found to be comparable to that of theophylline. Even saffron petal extract (SPE) has been found useful through photochemical analysis, revealing the presence of flavonoids, anthocyanins, and tannins. The SPE was injected intra-peritoneally to rats for 14 days, and the results showed an increase in the number of white blood cells and antibody response without any alteration in hematological parameters.
