The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas, Convolvulaceae) is a trailing, herbaceous perennial in the morning glory family.1,2 It is indigenous to Central and South America and grows best in subtropical climates, spreading along the ground and producing oblong, tuberous roots. There are more than 400 sweet potato varieties, and most have yellow-brown or copper-colored skins with bright orange or yellow-red flesh.3 Orange-fleshed sweet potatoes (OFSPs) are the most common varieties consumed, but white, cream, yellow, pink, and deep purple varieties also exist. The sweet potato plant has alternate, heart-shaped leaves and produces funnel-shaped white, pink, or rose-violet flowers that appear in clusters in the leaf axils as the plant matures.4

Taxonomic confusion can arise over the common name “yam” that often is given to sweet potatoes in the market. Botanically speaking, true yams belong to the genus Dioscorea (Dioscoreaceae) and are much less common in the United…

Propolis is made by bees from a combination of plant resins, wax, and saliva. It is used in the hive as a building material, disinfectant, and embalming agent. Propolis has many reported health benefits for humans, due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Multiple factors impact the composition of propolis, including location, the season of harvest, local flora, and species of bee. Mexico is a major honey producer, with production in Yucatán, Campeche, Jalisco, and Chiapas; each region producing propolis which contains a variety of active compounds. This study assessed the antioxidant properties of five samples of propolis from two states in Mexico.

Propolis samples were collected from five regions in Mexico; four from the state of Chiapas (1-4), and one from the state of Yucatán (5). Samples 1, 2, 3, and 5 were collected from Apis mellifera bee breeders, while sample 4 was collected from a wild colony…

Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs's avatarCrooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

As one of the most common forms of coronary artery disease, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), otherwise known as heart attack, is a leading cause of death with a life-threatening urgency that demands immediate treatment. AMI leads to disability, fatigue, depression, and sleep disorders. Nearly half (42%) of AMI patients experience anxiety. When hospitalized for an AMI, patients often experience severe anxiety during the first 48 hours. Aromatherapy is used to reduce stress, pain, depression, and anxiety. Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens, Geraniaceae) aerial part essential oil has antianxiety effects. According to the authors, there are no studies that evaluate the effect of geranium aromatherapy on patients with AMI. Moreover, according to the authors, there is a lack of well-designed, rigorous studies evaluating the safety and effectiveness of geranium aromatherapy for any condition. Hence, the purpose of this randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled study was to evaluate the effect of geranium aromatherapy on…

Hops (Humulus lupulus, Cannabaceae) cones not only give beer flavor and bitterness, but they also have sedative, antibacterial, and phytoestrogenic properties. They may also prevent cell proliferation, which could have applications in cancer treatment. However, the many bioactive compounds of hops are difficult to characterize. The purpose of this study was to maximize characterization by using two complementary techniques. The authors used “online comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography [(2D LC)] with tandem mass spectrometry and direct infusion Fourier transform ion cyclotron mass spectrometry [(FT-ICR-MS)],” as well as “a reversed phase x reversed phase approach with a shifted gradient in the second dimension.” Together, these methods could be used to discover and identify hops compounds, distinguish cultivars, and monitor storage and processing.

The different constituents of hops exhibit a diverse array of properties depending on the variety, harvest time, and storage of the herb. Previous methods have been unable to…

Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis, Lamiaceae) is a plant native to the eastern Mediterranean and western Asia that has been used traditionally as a spice, tea, and medicine. Modern pharmacological studies have reported lemon balm to possess antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. The purpose of this study was to investigate how essential oil composition, especially rosmarinic acid content and antioxidant activity, changes between lemon balm subspecies, plant parts, and harvests.

Central European climate conditions allow for permanent lemon balm fields with multiple yearly harvests. The 28 lemon balm accessions analyzed in this study comprised two subspecies, officinalis (MOFF) and altissima (MALT). They were planted in March 2008 at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) in Gatersleben, Germany, and then harvested in June and August 2013. To procure samples, the plants were dried, separated into leaves and stems, and then hydrodistilled. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and…
