Abstract

Objectives: One of the application areas of nanobiotechnology is the use of silver nanoparticles (Nanosilver particles) for a new solution in medical treatments. In the present study, the researchers investigate the effect of nano silver particles of the aqueous extract of Artemisia aucheri on skin wound healing among male rats.
Material and Methods: After creating wounds in 48 rats, they were randomly divided into 6 groups. Treated with 0.2% AgNPs ointment, 0.2% AgSO4 ointment,   0.2% A. aucheri  ointment, 3% tetracycline ointment, Eucerin basal ointment, and untreated control group. The tested groups were treated for ten days.
Results: Treatment with AgNPs ointment significantly increased the amount of vascular contraction, hexose amine and hydroxyproline, and fibrocyte and fibrocyte to fibroblast ratio. Also, in the mentioned group, the wound area and the total number of cells, neutrophils and lymphocytes decreased significantly compared to other groups. 
Conclusion: The nano silver particles of the aqueous extract of A. aucheri accelerate the healing process of skin wounds and reduce the time required for complete wound healing.

Abstract

Objective: Insomnia or sleep disorders refer to conditions involving insufficient sleep, difficulty falling asleep, or sudden awakenings. These issues can be unpleasant for some individuals and may affect their daily performance. While there are various causes of insomnia, scientific research continues to investigate the body's need for sleep and its underlying causes. This study aims to evaluate the effects of herbal remedies on sleep improvement and insomnia treatment. The mechanisms influencing insomnia and the ways in which Iranian medicinal plants affect sleep quality are analyzed and discussed.
Methodology: In this review, key terms such as herbal remedies, traditional medicine, native Iran, insomnia, and sleep treatment were utilized. Relevant articles were sourced from well-established academic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science. Additionally, specialized resources, including reference books, encyclopedias, and online materials, were used to gather information. All articles and sources were thoroughly examined to identify the medicinal plants used in traditional Iranian medicine for improving sleep.
Results: Traditional Iranian medicine offers various herbal solutions for sleep improvement and insomnia, including medicinal plants such as saffron, thyme, lavender, guava, sage, rosemary, eucalyptus leaves, mint, ginger, lemon balm, cinnamon, chamomile, passionflower, jujube, hops, violets, borage, bitter orange, milk thistle, wild lettuce, green tea, and wormwood. These plants are among the most commonly used herbs in Iranian traditional medicine for addressing sleep disorders.
Conclusion: The results of this review highlight that herbal remedies are recognized as a safe and natural treatment for insomnia and improving sleep quality. These plants primarily act through the regulation of the central nervous system, reduction of anxiety and stress, and the enhancement of melatonin production.
