Therefore, besides conventional treatment methods, herbal agents have been extensively entered oral care products in recent years in function of its interesting medical and physicochemical characteristics. Dentistry has begun to exploit herbal properties for the purpose of relieving tooth pain, gum inflammation, and canker sores. Lots of manufacturers use herbal ingredients in their products to provide additional therapeutic characteristics. Natural bio characteristics, lower costs, availability and low rate of adverse effects have been factors in the choice of herbal medicines compared to conventional medicines. Dentists are interested in plant products whose agents have antiseptics, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, antiviral, and analgesic actions. However, it is of utmost importance to understand the interactions of plant extracts with the body and other medications.

The dental industry has met the needs of this public through the development of products for oral hygiene, especially toothpastes, produced using components of natural origin, seeking less toxicity, greater biocompatibility, sustainability and pharmacological activity.

 From Bronchial Asthma to Tuberculosis: Unravelling the Cytokine-Macrophage Axis in Diverse Diseases Cytokines, tiny proteins secreted by cells, play a critical role in mediating communication and interactions between cells. They also function as immunomodulating agents, adjusting immune responses. When released into the bloodstream or tissues, cytokines bind to specific receptors on target immune cells, triggering cellular responses. Cytokines are implicated in various diseases, including asthma, COPD, HIV infection, and multiple sclerosis. This review delves into the intricate interplay between cytokines and macrophages, focusing on their roles in inflammation and the immune response. Macrophages, which are scavenger cells of the immune system, exhibit remarkable heterogeneity, reside in diverse tissues, and play crucial roles in both innate and acquired immunity. They can be activated for proinflammatory or anti-inflammatory functions, contributing to tissue destruction or regen...
