Objective: The use of natural products for diverse affections treatments is something aged, described since the man’s cradle, which made use of plants for wounds and natural disorders treatments. That said, the assignment objective is to expose the presentation of an experience report in case of an inflammatory process of bacteria origin due an acne treated with melaleuca essential oil associated with the photo dynamics therapy. Methods: For such, the specific spot to be worked on was sanitized with a cleaning solution and after it was hydrated with an invigorating solution. It was used on the spot 20 µL of melaleuca (Melaleuca aternifólia) essential oil and also it was performed a circular massage to spread the product. Over the spot was fell upon a blue intensity light (± 550nm) focusing on it. Results: After 5 minutes exhibition, edema decreased and pore closure was observed due to an absence of intense fushing, going intense to slight., edema decreased and pore closure. In brief, it is possible to say that the malaleuca essential oil association with application of photo dynamic therapy has the remedial potencial on facing inflammatory and infectious processes caused by acne. Conclusion: Lastly, the propagation of cases reports are of crucial importance, since that comparisons with the literature can lend to new therapies alternatives.

Essential oils are gaining interest as environmentally friendly alternatives to synthetic fungicides for management of seedborne pathogens. Here, seven essential oils were initially tested in vivo for disinfection of squash seeds (Cucurbita maxima) naturally contaminated by Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum, Alternaria alternata, Fusarium fujikuro, Fusarium solani, Paramyrothecium roridum, Albifimbria verrucaria, Curvularia spicifera, and Rhizopus stolonifer. The seeds were treated with essential oils from Cymbopogon citratus, Lavandula dentata, Lavandula hybrida, Melaleuca alternifolia, Laurus nobilis, and Origanum majorana (#1 and #2). Incidence of S. cucurbitacearum was reduced, representing a range between 67.0% in L. nobilis to 84.4% in O. majorana #2. Treatments at 0.5 mg/mL essential oils did not affect seed germination, although radicles were shorter than controls, except with C. citratus and O. majorana #1 essential oils. Four days after seeding, seedling emergence was 20%, 30%, and 10% for control seeds and seeds treated with C. citratus essential oil (0.5 mg/mL) and fungicides (25 g/L difenoconazole plus 25 g/L fludioxonil). S. cucurbitacearum incidence was reduced by ~40% for plantlets from seeds treated with C. citratus essential oil. These data show the effectiveness of this essential oil to control the transmission of S. cucurbitacearum from seeds to plantlets, and thus define their potential use for seed decontamination in integrated pest management and organic agriculture.

AbstractA novel noninvasive photochemical approach for infection control, namely photodynamic therapy, has received much attention in the treatment of oral diseases which requires three nontoxic ingredients namely visible harmless light, a photosensitizer and oxygen are involved in this therapy. It is based on the principle that a photosensitizer binds to the target cells which when activated by light of a suitable wavelength results in the production of singlet oxygen and other very reactive agents that are extremely toxic to certain cells and bacteria. This article highlights the application of photo-dynamic therapy in management of periodontal disease and its current status.
