October 5, 2025

Wounds are disruptions in the integrity of the skin or underlying tissues caused by physical, chemical, or biological factors. Wound healing is a complex process involving inflammation, oxidative stress, immune modulation, and tissue regeneration. Effective wound management prevents complications such as infections and promotes faster recovery.

Frankincense essential oil, derived from the resin of the Boswellia tree, has been historically used for its medicinal properties, including wound healing. The oil contains bioactive compounds such as boswellic acids, which exhibit anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. These attributes make it a valuable agent in promoting wound repair. Frankincense essential oil helps reduce inflammation in the wound area, creating an optimal environment for healing. Its antimicrobial effects help prevent infections, while its antioxidant properties combat oxidative stress, which can delay healing.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease stands as the prevailing chronic liver disease on a global scale, encompassing a broad spectrum of liver conditions . Among these, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) represents a distinct entity characterized by hepatic steatosis of at least 5%, accompanied by inflammation and ballooned hepatocytes, with or without concurrent hepatic fibrosis. If left untreated, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis can advance to liver cirrhosis and, ultimately, hepatocellular carcinoma. The concept of the multiple-hit hypothesis recognizes that environmental factors, such as diet, lifestyle, and gut microbiota, can intricately interact with genetic and epigenetic factors, collectively contributing to the development of liver injury.

Migraine is a neurological disorder characterized by headache, photophobia, phonophobia, nausea and vomiting. Pharmacological treatment of migraine has advanced in the past years but is still considered unsatisfactory for a significant number of patients. In this sense, there is increasing evidence that essential oils from several plants may provide benefit for migraine patients. Peppermint essential oil is one of the most used essential oils in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. It is typically obtained through the steam distillation of aerial parts of the flowering plant. Menthol is a major component of peppermint essential oil and has been used as a non-opioid pain reliever since ancient times. In addition to menthol, it has menthone as another main component and a mixture of volatile metabolites that contribute to innumerous biological activities, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory. In migraine patients, two clinical trials showed that intranasal application of peppermint essential oil (1.5%) or application of a solution containing 10% menthol to the forehead and temporal area reduced the severity and duration of the migraine crisis similarly to lidocaine, and also reduced nausea and/or vomiting, and phonophobia and/or photophobia.
