Eczema, or dermatitis includes a wide range of skin conditions that present with acute, subacute, or chronic lesions. Eczema is the most common inflammatory skin disease and patients with eczema usually complain of severe itching. Booalidaroo tetraclinis articulate oil is the result from combination of flaxseed oil and tetraclinis, which is effective in treating skin and inflammatory diseases, especially eczema. tetraclinis has long been considered as a tree resin in medicine and has been used in the treatment of various diseases. Tetraclinis resin seeps naturally or by creating a gap in the surface of the trunk or branches of the tree and hardens when exposed to air.
Tetraclinis has several therapeutic properties including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant effects. The results of tetraclinis phytochemical analysis showed that this substance contains flavonoid compounds such as catsin, myristin, and quercetin, which induce the anti-inflammatory effect of tetraclinis. Flaxseed is another ingredient in this product, which has been used in various references to treat a variety of skin diseases. Phytochemical analysis of compounds in flaxseed has shown that this seed is a rich source of various phenylpropanoids, especially lignans, phenolic acids, flavonoids, and cyanogenic glycosides. Numerous reports have reported the anti-inflammatory properties of α-Linolenic acid, lignans, and flavonoids.
Flaxseed oil contains effective compounds such as linoleic acid, which are effective in protecting and strengthening the skin, preventing wrinkles, and removing many skin rashes. It is also used in the preparation of many products for dry and dark skin. Flaxseed oil can also be used for treating burned and flaking skin.
Another study investigated the wound-healing effect of flaxseed oil in rats, and results showed an accelerated wound healing process in the treated groups compared to the control sample.
An experimental study investigated the anti-inflammatory effect of hydroalcoholic extract of flaxseed on 90 male rats. The animals were randomly divided into 5 groups. The treatment groups received hydroalcoholic extract of flaxseed at doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg / kg, the positive control group received 200 mg / kg sodium salicylate, and the negative control group received 10 ml / kg of 10% dimethyl sulfoxide solution intraperitoneally. This test was performed using three methods of inflammation induction (carrageenan, albumin, xylene). The results showed that the hydroalcoholic flaxseed extract showed significant anti-inflammatory effects in all three doses in all three models of inflammation as compared to the control groups. Flaxseed extract (400 mg / kg) was able to reduce inflammation by 50% more than sodium
salicylate.
