TAMAMLAYICI TIPTA YARA TEDAVİSİNDE KULLANILAN BAZI AROMATİK BİTKİLER VE KULLANIM YÖNTEMLERİ

Abstract

Fitoterapi bitkilerle tedavi anlamında kullanılan bir terimdir. Çok eski çağlardan beri bitkiler tedavide kullanılmaktadır. Günümüzde tedavi amacıyla kullanılan ilaçların büyük çoğunluğu bitkisel kaynaklıdır. Geleneksel halk tıbbında yara ve yanıkların tedavisinde bitkiler ve bitkisel ürünler yoğun olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bitkilerin yara iyileşmesi üzerine antibakteriyel, proliferasyonu uyarıcı, fibroblastları uyarıcı ve antioksidan etkilerinin olduğu bilinmektedir. Günümüzde bitkisel tedavilere olan ilgi her geçen gün artmakta ve geçmişte halk tıbbında kullanılan bitkisel yöntemler araştırılmaktadır. Tedavi amacıyla kullanılan bazı bitki türleri için özel üretim alanları oluşturularak yağları, ekstreleri çıkarılarak veya kurutulmuş ürünleri hazırlanarak kullanıma sunulmaktadır. Bu makalede geleneksel halk tıbbında yara tedavisinde kullanılan Aleo vera, Calendula officinalis, Panax ginseng, Achillea millfolium, Hypericum perforatum, Momordica charantia, İnula viscosa, Pinus nigra L., Pinus nigra L., Arnebia densiflora, Centaurium erythraea, Micromeria congesta, Plantago major L. ve Nigella sativa L. bitkilerinin yara üzerine etkilerini tespit edilmesi amacıyla yapılan güncel araştırmalar incelenmiş olup bu bitkilerin tamamlayıcı tıp uygulamalarında kullanılabilecek bitkisel ilaç potansiyeli taşıdığı görülmüştür.
