[Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L. as dermatologically effective medicinal plant - first results from 3 pilot studies].
CONCLUSION: These pilot studies investigated skin hydrating effects of the traditional medical plant M. crystallinum. Although the results were promising, they have to be interpreted with caution in particular due to low sample size. Further, study design should be more clear-cut and focus skin hydration as a main outcome parameter in more detail.

Treatment of organic livestock with medicinal plants: a systematic review of European ethnoveterinary research.
CONCLUSIONS: In general, EuEVM provides interesting treatment approaches for gastrointestinal and dermatological disorders as well as parasitosis. Findings regarding disorders of female genital or respiratory tract are less consistent. Nevertheless, EuEVM offers a solid basis for stimulating research in veterinary phytotherapy in Europe with a perspective to solve animal health problems in organic or even nonorganic ruminant production.

Authors: Götti RP, Melzer J, Saller R
Abstract
