Effect of Chamomilla Recutita in the oncology patient with oral mucositis: a systematic review
Abstract
Objective: To identify through national and international literature the effects of Chamomilla recutita (CR).
Method: A systematic review was chosen which included rigorous analysis of articles, being extremely reliable and of great importance for researchers. The articles analyzed were carefully studied in order to collect data on the potential beneficial effects of the plant in question, in addition to the attempt to verify which method and quantity was necessary to obtain a correct therapeutic application in those with this side effect. At the end of the selection of studies defined by the established criteria, new instruments were applied to validate them, where a quantity of researches that were of entire relevance for this review was reached.
Results: With the analysis of the studies, CR was found in the form of mouth rinses, ointments, tinctures and infusions, all with different forms of concentration, preparation and use. The analysis showed that CR presents a potential therapeutic effect in clinical practice with oncologic and hematologic patients, because it provides ample benefits to this population.
Conclusion: The ways of using CR showed to be effective, however, the method of rinsing and infusion were the studies that most demonstrate beneficial effects to their patients, although all showed effectiveness. It is suggested future studies to insert this method in the clinical practice of service providers, in order to benefit its users.
