Geranium
Pelargonium
Pelargonium is a genus of plants with diverse species, including Pelargonium sidoides and Pelargonium graveolens. Traditionally, there are no specific records of its use in any particular medical traditions. Scientific evidence suggests that Pelargonium sidoides exhibits multi-target activity with immunomodulatory, antibacterial, and antiviral effects, supporting its potential use in managing respiratory tract infections. Meanwhile, studies indicate that nano-formulations of citronella and geranium essential oils show enhanced insecticidal activity against Spodoptera littoralis compared to bulk oils. Pelargonium graveolens flowers contain gallotannins that exhibit broad-spectrum antibacterial activity by disrupting bacterial motility, biofilm formation, membrane integrity, and efflux pump function. Notably, no major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for any species of Pelargonium.

विज्ञान क्या कहता है
- पेलार्गोनियम ग्रेवेलेन्स का महत्त्वपूर्ण तेल अणुस्तरीय हाइड्रोजेल में शामिल होकर Anopheles stephensi पर बढ़िया रोकथाम कार्य दिखाई, लेकिन यह DEET से कम उपयुक्त थी।
- अध्ययन रूक्ष पदार्थों (पेलर्गोनियम सिडोइडीस को शामिल) के उपचार में रोग वास्तविकता और क्लिनिकल प्रबंधन सारांश प्रदान करता है।
- सिट्रोनेला और गेरानियम की अवश्यक तरल का नॉन-फॉर्मुलेशन संयोजन Spodoptera littoralis पर बULK तरलों की तुलना में विषाणुकरणीय गति में वृद्धि दिखाई।
- अध्ययन दिखाता है कि Pelargonium sidoides कई लक्षणों पर कार्रवाई दिखाता है, इसके साथ-साथ अंतःप्रदानी, बैक्टीरियल और वायरल प्रभावों के भी है, जो इसका उपयोग रोधी गहनण रोगों में संचालन में समर्थन करता है।
- पेलर्गोनियम ग्रावेोलेन्स की पत्तियों में गैलोटानिन होते हैं जो बैक्टीरिया की गति, बाइओफिल्म बनावट, परत संरचना और एफल्स पम्प की कार्यक्रमिकता को दबाने में व्यापक-स्पेक्ट्रम अवधारणा की दर्शनीयता दर्शाते हैं।
