Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Researchers have considered medicinal oils to prevent and treat pediatric diseases. In the traditional Persian medicine (TPM) doctrine, anointment is widely used in order to avoid and treat diseases. This study aimed to evaluate and reconcile the uses of anointment in children in TPM and the new studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Accordingly, TPM documents were scrutinized for anointments and their applications in pediatric disorders. Moreover, new studies were reviewed in Google scholar, PubMed, Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science until June 2022. RESULTS: In the health preservation field, TPM scholars have recommended daily anointment with some oils like sweet almonds in the early months after birth to improve growth, strengthen the body, and prevent dry skin, and new studies have confirmed the effectiveness of some oils accordingly. In the treatment field, various oils are recommended, namely sweet almond oil for weight disorders, violet oil for insomnia, olive oil and chamomile oil for functional constipation, infantile colic and enuresis, and olive oil for diaper rash and atopic dermatitis and new studies have shown their effectiveness. Sweet almond, chamomile, violet, olive, and rose oils are among the most widely used oils in Persian medicine for children, which we have discussed in this study. CONCLUSION: Due to the non-invasive nature of anointment and the observation of minimal adverse effects in studies, it can be given attention for maintaining pediatric health and treating their diseases.

Oil name Mechanism of action Adverse effects
Sweet almond ( Amygdalus communis - Prunus communis ) Sedative and hypnotic activity: Decrease in the core body temperature, inhibitory actions of spinal cord interneurons, increases the production of GABA, stimulate detoxification of the liver (related to Amino acids like glutamine)amino acids such as glycine, glutamine, arginine, and ornithine can act as amino acid neurotransmitters; therefore, they play an important rolein excitation and inhibition of synapsesAnti-inflammatory activity: Inhibit the expression and formation of inflammatory mediators in macrophages (related to Polyphenols) and decrease serum E-selectin, reduce oxidative stress (associated with MUFAs, polyphenols, flavonoids) (Karimi et al., 2021)Anti-oxidant effect: scavenging free radicals by Tocopherols (Arranz, Cert, Pérez-Jiménez, Cert, & Saura-Calixto, 2008) and may be estimated by GSH, SOD, MDA, and CAT levels (Al-Attar, 2020)atopic dermatitis rash and itching (Ouzir et al., 2021)
German chamomile ( Matricaria recutita L .) Roman chamomile ( Chamaemelum nobile L.) anti-spasmodic effect: by opening the K+ channelsanti-inflammatory effect: inhibition of COX-2 and proinflammatory biomarkers in THP1 macrophagesneuroprotective effect: reduction in NO levels (related to polyphenolic compounds [Flavonoides] including apigenin) (Zargaran et al., 2014)contact dermatitis/skin reactions, eye irritation (when applied near the eyes), hypersensitivity reaction (Mollabashi, Ziaie, Bekhradi, & Khalesi, 2020)German chamomile:Contact dermatitis, Type I and IV allergy (Type IV in > 50% of Compositae-sensitive patients but low risk of sensitization/elicitation of dermatitis based on published reports),Immediate-type reactions from contact urticaria to more severe systemic reactionsRoman chamomile: Contact dermatitis (Paulsen, 2002)
Sweet violet (Viola odorata L) Anti-inflammatory effect: Control serum levels of increased IgE, IL-4, IL13, eosinophilia, and increased mucosal secretion [19]Anti-oxidant effect: scavenge NO radicals and tyrosinase inhibition [20]Hypnotic effects: binding offlavonoids with high affinity to the benzodiazepine site of the GABA receptor and Rutin, a significant flavonoid component that has sedative effects in the brain, presence of melatonin in V. odorata flowers [21]anti-microbial and antifungal activity: monoterpenes andsesquiterpenes such as phenyl butanone, linalool, benzylalcohol, α-cadinol, globulol, and viridiflorolchronic cough, hoarseness, and stridor: Mucilage with laxative properties[20]There is not enough information to know if it is safe to put sweet violet on the skin.No serious adverse effects were reported in the studies
Olive oil ( Olea europaea L) Anti-inflammatory effect: inhibition of the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes in the prostaglandin-biosynthesis pathway, attenuating inflammatory mediators such as inducible NO synthase(by oleocanthal), inhibition of TNF-α (by oleuropein aglycone) (Beauchamp et al., 2005; Cicerale, Lucas, & Keast, 2012)Anti-oxidant activity: decrease reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and elicitsignificant free-radical scavenging effects, Reduce F2-isoprostane (a result of the free radical-induced peroxidation ofarachidonic acid) levels (related to hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein)Anti-microbial effect:o-diphenol system of hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, and oleuropein,scavenging of nitricoxide؟ (by hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein, and caffeic acid) (Tuck & Hayball, 2002)detrimental impact on SC integrity and skin barrier function, and transepidermal water loss (Lin, Zhong, & Santiago, 2017)allergic contact dermatitis (Ernst, 2000)
Rose ( Rosa gallica L - Rosa centifolia L) Hypnotic activity: affect the CNS through the olfactory way and trigger the release of some neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin,stimulating the limbic system and suppressing the sympathetic system adrenaline level (Keyhanmehr et al., 2018)Neuroprotective effect: induces the neurite outgrowth and inhibits the Aβ fibrillization and deposition in the brain, inhibits apoptosis, promotes neuronal survival and synaptic plasticity, promotes cerebrovascular blood flow, angiogenesis, neurogenesis, and neuronal morphology Effect on length of dendrite similar to nerve growth factor (NGF) scavenging free radicals, and releasing neurotransmitter (acetylcholine), reduction of induced nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), nitric oxide-releasing, suppression inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-1β. by flavonoids, anti-oxidant functions.Anti-oxidant functions: donate hydrogen, scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), inhibiting lipid peroxidation, chelating metal ions, and other free radicals (Esfandiary et al., 2015) by flavonol glycosides including quercetin-3-O-glucoside, kaempferol-3-O-rhamnoside, and kaempferol-3-O-arabinosideAnalgesic effect: effect on both phases centrally and peripherally, anti-oxidant activity (Hajhashemi, Ghannadi, & Hajiloo, 2010)Anti-microbial activity: citronellol, geraniol, and nerolAnti-spasmodic effect: through stimulating the b-adrenergic and opioid receptors and voltage-dependent calcium channels (Mahboubi, 2016)Not mentioned
