Abstract

Amaç: Anksiyete ve uyku bozuklukları ülkemizde ve dünyada son yıllarda giderek yaygınlaşan psikiyatrik hastalıklardandır. Anksiyete ve uyku bozukluğu olan bireyler hastalıklarının esas tedavisi olan farmakoterapi ve psikoterapiye ek olarak farklı tamamlayıcı tedavi arayışlarına yönelmektedir. Bu tamamlayıcı tedavi yöntemleri arasında en sık başvurulan kaynakların tıbbi bitkiler olduğu kaçınılmaz bir gerçektir. Fakat bu ürünlerin “yan etkisi daha az/daha zararsız/daha etkili” olabileceği düşüncesi gözden geçirilmesi gereken önemli bir konudur. Bu derlemede anksiyete ve uyku bozukluklarında kullanılan tıbbi bitkilerin PubMed, Science Direct, Google Akademik, BioMed Central, TÜBİTAK Ulakbim veri tabanlarında detaylı bir literatür taraması ile belirlenmesi, en sık kullanılanlarının ise hastalıklar üzerindeki potansiyel etki mekanizmalarının incelenmesi ve olumlu/olumsuz etkilerinin ortaya konması amaçlanmıştır.
Sonuç ve Tartışma: Literatürdeki çalışmalar değerlendirildiğinde; anksiyete ve uyku bozukluklarında kullanılan tıbbi bitkilerin fazlalığına rağmen birçoğunun potansiyel etki mekanizması ve olumlu/olumsuz etkileri tam olarak ortaya konmamıştır. Bu bitkilerin yanlış ve bilinçsizce kullanımı hastalığın seyrinin kötüleşmesine yol açabileceğinden anksiyete ve uyku bozukluklarında kullanılan tıbbi bitkilerin incelendiği daha fazla araştırmaya ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.

MEDICINAL HERBS USED IN ANXIETY AND SLEEP DISORDERS

Abstract

Objective: Anxiety and sleep disorders are psychiatric diseases that have become increasingly common in our country and in the world in recent years. Individuals with anxiety and sleep disorders tend to seek different complementary therapies in addition to pharmacological treatment, which is the main treatment of their disease It is an inevitable fact that the most frequently used sources among these complementary treatment methods are medicinal herbs. However, the idea that these products may have "less side effects / less damage/ more effect" is an important issue that needs to be reviewed. In this review, the medicinal plants used in anxiety and sleep disorders are determined by a detailed literature review in PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, BioMed Central, TUBITAK Ulakbim databases, and to examine the potential mechanisms of action of the most frequently used ones on diseases and to reveal their positive/negative effects.
Result and Discussion: When the studies in the literature are evaluated; Despite the abundance of medicinal herbs used in anxiety and sleep disorders, the potential mechanism of action and positive/negative effects of many of them have not been fully revealed. Since the wrong and irrational use of these herbs may lead to worsening of the course of the disease, more researches are needed to examine examine medicinal herbs used in anxiety and sleep disorders.
