General Definition and Usage Areas of Inula Oil

Inula oil general description and areas of use Inula viscosa (Ait.) L. (Compositae, synit Dittrichia viscosa ) is a robust, long-lived shrub that grows in the wild in the Mediterranean basin. It is an aromatic plant that emits a menthol scent. The leaves and stems of the plant are covered with a sticky resin secreted from glandular hairs growing on the surface of the leaves. Inula, which grows in Israel, grows in the south as a local variant. It has also been accepted that it has higher biological activity compared to its relatives in Europe. In Israel and in the region where it grows, the resin on the plant does not disappear due to the longer exposure to sunlight and less rainfall due to the hot climate. It is thought that during the hot summer season, when the plant is exposed to pathogenic attacks, the plant produces phytochemicals for self-defense and contributes to protecting its leaves. The protection of the leaf against UV is possible by releasing the resin on the leaf surface.

 Traditional medicinal uses of inula viscosa

Described as the “King of Medicinal Plants”, Arab villagers in Israel, Palestine and Jordan used Inula viscosa to relieve or cure various ailments. In the 10th century, Arab physician Al Tamimi, who practiced in Jerusalem, wrote in the sources that the drink “Raesen” made from Inula viscosa and added to honey was called “the drink of kings”. It has become an indispensable folk medicine class because it has a strong aphrodisiac effect, such as rheumatism, colds and even aphrodisiac effect.

Traditional medical practices are documented in the Hebrew book “Herbs Pouch” 1. This book contains early insights and interviews into the many uses of Inula viscosa. Since ancient times, Inula viscosa has been widely used to treat:

As can be understood from our article, Inula viscosa, which has many benefits, has been given the name Cancer Herb in our country. This name has no place in the plant literature.

Although inula viscosa is used in some types of cancer, it is also beneficial for many diseases complained about today. We will explain them one by one below.

It is a plant that is not well known to those living outside the Mediterranean region and although its trade is not encouraged, Inula viscosa is a very useful medicinal plant and has been accepted as a cure for tens of thousands of years in the region. It has a very important reputation in medical and alternative medicine in Israel, and is an amazing plant used in the treatment of many diseases in the countries of the Mediterranean basin.

The medicinal plant Inula viscosa (Ait.) L. (Compositae) is a hardy perennial shrub that grows in Israel. It is an aromatic plant that grows in the wild in the Mediterranean basin and gives off a strong odor. The leaves and stems of the plant, which have the odor of camphor, are coated with a sticky resin from September onwards. When the flowers covered with resin turn into leaves, the healing is contained in the leaves. The parts used are the leaves. In the winter months, the plant blooms with clusters of small yellow flowers; It is a food source that can be used by honeybees in the winter months. Inula viscosa is harvested on certain dates and its leaves are selected and it is an indispensable plant that is frequently used in folk medicine.

What are the declared and accepted benefits of inola viscosa?

maximum active compounds in its leaves.

Inula viscosa oil It has a very important place among traditional herbal folk medicines, which have been used and have been determined to have results in the traditional use of respiratory tract, infection, gum disease, antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer.

Recent research has reported that Inula viscosa oil helps strengthen the heart muscle in patients with heart disease when consumed three scoops per day.

A recent interview conducted by an elderly person who had colon polyp growth showed that after consuming Inula tea every morning for a few months, further growth of colon polyps was prevented (The growth of colon polyps can turn into colon cancer)

23- It is used as a diuretic, topical antipruritic, boiled in oil for myalgia and used on wounds as a surface astringent.

In the treatment of fungus:

Tiena pedis is a common skin blemish caused by fungus and usually occurs between the toes.

This type of fungus, which is the most common fungus, encourages the growth of fungi because the feet create an oxygen-free and moist environment in hot shoes. inula oilIt is a natural herbal alternative.

inula oilI has shown high efficacy in clinical studies on these mushrooms.

It has been observed that redness, itching and stinging, flaking, color change, burning and the discomfort it causes begin to heal in three days and heal in nine to ten days.

 

Pharmacognosy of the local plant Inula viscosa

Author: Stephen Spiteri.

A large number of plants abroad are constantly being screened for their possible pharmacological values.

Malta lacks a wide variety of medicinal plants. One of these is Inula Viscosa, (Maltese: Tulliera komuni,

English: Sticky Fleabane, also known as Dittrichia viscosa or Cupularia viscosa. This medium, dense glandular, finely spiny perennial with a camphor scent belongs to the Compositae family. The plant grows on stony hill slopes, in damp habitats, on waste and fallow ground, and even along roadsides.

Scientific studies conducted abroad have revealed some interesting pharmacological effects. Gastro-protection and prostaglandin E2 production by flavonoid extracts in rats. Effect of isolated Hispidulin on guinea pig smooth muscles.

Research on the role of plants in the treatment of diabetes;

The results of these studies have been published as articles in journals. Most of these articles have been collected and the scientific information on Inula viscosa has been confirmed as a beneficial plant that should be recommended and used consistently.

Inula viscosa and cancer in current research:

Inula viscosa effect:

As evidenced by MTT assays, we found that hexanic (IV-HE) and dichloromethane (IV-DF) extracts from Inula viscosa were able to inhibit cell growth in a dose-dependent manner after 72 h of treatment in both cell lines. The IC50 values for IV-HE on SiHa and HeLa were 9.56 ± 1.68 and 13.17 ± 0.79 μg/ml, respectively. However, the IC50 values for IV-DF on SiHa and HeLa were 6.54 ± 1.46 and 22.04 ± 3.31 μg/ml, respectively. Retama monosperma dichloromethane fraction (Rm-DF) was the most active extruder, exhibiting cytotoxic activity to both cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50 values obtained were 14 ± 1.68 and 21 ± 0.79 μg/ml in SiHa and HeLa cell lines, respectively ( Table 3 ). The National Cancer Institute of the United States specifies a significant cytotoxic effect of the anticancer product if it exhibits an IC50 value of ≤30 μg/ml, which is promising for future biologically guided studies (Suffnes, 1990). The results showed that IV-HE and IV-DF, as well as Rm-DF, induced significant and dose-dependent inhibitory activities against human cervical cancer cell lines SiHa and HeLa.
