Heavy Metals Content in Selected Medicinal Plants Commonly Used as Components for Herbal Formulations

Tıbbi (şifalı) bitkiler Dünya nüfusunun büyük bir kısmı için sağlık hizmetlerinin birincil kaynağı durumundadır. Bu nedenle tıbbi bitkilerdeki biriken ağır metal içeriğinin belirlenmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu araştırmada, alternatif tıpta geleneksel olarak kullanılan Matricaria chamomilla L., Melissa officinalis L., Mentha piperita L. and Foeniculum vulgare Mill. isimli tıbbi bitkilerde ağır metallerin ve 2 meteloidin içeriğinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bitki materyalleri sanayi kasabası olan Pančevo kasabasından toplanmıştır. Bitki analizleri ICP yöntemine göre yapılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, incelenen tıbbi bitki türlerindeki toksik maddelerin içeriğinin önerilen limitlerin altında olduğunu ve üzerinde çalışılan tibbi bitkilerin çay ve tıbbi ektsrelerin hazırlanmasına uygun olduğunu göstermiştir.

Bitkisel Formülasyonlarda Yaygın Olarak Kullanılan Seçilmiş Tıbbi Bitkilerin Ağır Metal İçeriği ESER BİLGİSİ

For the majority of the world population medicinal plants represent the primary source of the health care. Therefore determining the content of heavy metals, accumulated in medicinal plants, is of high importance. Thus, the purpose of this research was to evaluate the content of heavy metals and two metalloids in selected medicinal plants (Matricaria chamomilla L., Melissa officinalis L., Mentha piperita L. and Foeniculum vulgare Mill.), that are traditionally used in alternative medicine. The plant materials were collected in a highly industrialized town (Pančevo). Plant analyses were done according to ICP methodology. The obtained results show that the contents of the potentially toxic elements in the investigated medicinal plant species were below the recommended limits and those medicinal plants from the studied growing site are suitable for preparation of teas and medicinal extracts.
