In biodynamic agriculture, lunar rhythms are used as a calendar for scheduling farming operations like tilling, planting and harvesting of crops. Studies reveal seed germination, growth and production of crops are appraised due to the lunar influences. The scientific understanding of rhythms and its reflection through 12 zodiac signs are evident in multiple germination studies, growth and yield analysis on crops. Since these are non-monitoring inputs, more insights into rhythms and their physiological response that results in high-end physiological and biochemical characterization of various parts of plant is warranted. Planting based on the lunar cycles is an important component of biodynamic agriculture. Though several subjective insights are shared by the farmers there is a need for region-specific scientific studies to evaluate those experiences objectively. Compared to studies on biodynamic preparations, manures and their effect on crop, few studies on planting by moon rhythms are reported under field condition. Planting in sync with lunar rhythms is a zero-cost input for the farmers to take advantage for enhancing crop production and simultaneously improve the quality of byproducts.","PeriodicalId":92796,"journal":{"name":"International journal of complementary & alternative medicine","volume":"14 1","pages":"81-85"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48026542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reyes","doi":"10.15406/IJCAM.2021.14.00534","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15406/IJCAM.2021.14.00534","url":null,"abstract":"The COVID-19 pandemic and its associated stressors (e.g., job loss, physical distancing, loss of a loved one, physical illness) have resulted in widespread, ongoing social disruption and related psychological distress for many across the globe. Mindfulness-based Interventions (MBIs), which are programs designed to help strengthen one’s awareness of physical and mental experiences in the present moment without judgment, have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing such psychological difficulties. As such, they may be a low-cost and accessible resource for addressing pandemic-related psychological maladies. Moreover, they can be administered via telehealth modalities including smartphone apps and websites. These tools may help increase accessibility of mental health care while supporting physical distancing recommendations. We reviewed studies evaluating the effectiveness of MBIs for reducing psychological symptoms after prior community disasters including typhoons, tsunamis, and hurricanes. That research demonstrates that MBIs may help alleviate anxiety, post-traumatic stress (PTS) symptoms, and depression in of the wake of such events. However, most of these studies had very small sample sizes and other methodological limitations. More generally, participation in telehealth-delivered MBIs has been associated with decreases in stress, depression, and anxiety symptoms. Importantly, MBIs administered online demonstrate comparable effectiveness to traditional in-person MBIs. Future research on MBIs for community disaster survivors should utilize larger sample sizes and include longer-term follow-up assessments to evaluate the sustained impacts of MBIs for addressing psychological disturbances. This knowledge may help provide accessible and effective coping tools as we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for future community disasters and public health crises.","PeriodicalId":92796,"journal":{"name":"International journal of complementary & alternative medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46413875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aim of the study: The objective of this study was to identify the compounds in the hydroalcoholic extract of EEM leaves encapsulated with aerosil ® 20%, and to evaluate their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Material and methods : The antioxidant activity of EEM leaf hydroalcoholic extract was determined by using both the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging and the oxygen radical absorbance capacity in vitro assay. The phytochemical study of EEM was analyzed by experiments with FIA-ESI-IT-MS n (Direct Flow Analysis-ionization Electrospray Ion Trap Tandem Mass Spectrometry). Anti-inflammatory properties of EEM were evaluated in ear edema induced by xylene in rats. Results: The phytochemical investigation of EEM resulted in the identification of flavonoids glycosides (m/z 563, 579, 621) and derivatives of catechin (m/z 595, 611, 741 and 757). EEM leaf extract had antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. EEM (125 and 250mg/kg, p.o.) significantly inhibited the ear edema induced by xylene (52% and 64% respectively). Conclusion: Our results suggest the antioxidant action and the anti-inflammatory effect in the mouse ear edema model of EEM are related to the presence of flavonoids and catechin derivatives revealed in phytochemical screening. These results support the ethnopharmacological use of Mimosa caesalpiniifolia in folk medicine.","PeriodicalId":92796,"journal":{"name":"International journal of complementary & alternative medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44819971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
