Got bad breath? Lavender may be a solution.

Bad breath occurs due to volatile sulfur compound-producing oral bacteria such as F. nucleatum. Lavender essential oil was highly effective in reducing volatile sulfur compound production by F. nucleatum, with efficacy similar to chlorhexidine. Lavender oil also destroyed the bacteria, suggesting it is a suitable alternative to chemical-based anti-malodor agents like chlorhexidine.

Trichinellosis, also called trichinosis, is a rare but potentially severe parasitic infection caused by eating raw or undercooked meat. Caused by roundworms of the Trichinella genus, invasion of the intestines causes diarrhea, abdominal pain, and vomiting. If the larvae migrate to muscle—occurring about one week post infection—it can cause swelling of the face, inflammation of the whites of the eyes, fever, muscle aches, and rash.

Oral administration of rosemary EO significantly reduced worms in the intestinal (84.0%) and muscular (73.5%) phases, respectively in a preclinical model. The oil also reduced inflammation and fibrosis of muscles and inflammation in the intestines. Further evaluation in computer-aided docking models found that beta-caryophyllene, myrcene, o-cymene, limonene, and beta-pinene had good binding potential to tubulin tyrosine ligase, while beta-caryophyllene had the highest binding activity to thymidylate synthase—important target proteins to reduce parasite activity. The antiparasitic activity of rosemary EO in multiple stages suggests it is a promising natural solution for trichinellosis.

In a world that never sleeps, it's no surprise that young adults are finding it harder than ever to get a good night's rest. From the constant glow of screens to the pressures of a fast-paced life, the rise of insomnia and sleep troubles among this generation is becoming a silent epidemic. But this isn't just about feeling groggy; chronic sleep deprivation is linked to a host of serious health risks, including mental health issues, weakened immune systems, and an increased risk of chronic diseases. It's time to wake up to the dangers of a sleepless society and start prioritizing our sleep health.

A randomized clinical trial evaluated the effects of inhaling German chamomile EO among young adults with insomnia. The aromatherapy group inhaled the oil by placing 3 to 4 drops on a non-absorbent pad, which was placed close to the nose and inhaled from for 10 minutes before bedtime. This was performed daily for 15 days. At the conclusion of the study the aromatherapy group experienced meaningful and significant improvements in sleep quality and insomnia severity.
