Episiotomy is one of the most common surgeries in midwifery. Episiotomy wound healing can lead to perineal infection and pain, and affects mothers' satisfaction with childbirth. Tea herb with analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties can be effective on mothers' satisfaction with wound healing process. Therefore, the present study was conducted with aim to investigate the effect of tea herb cream on wound healing satisfaction and episiotomy pain intensity in primiparous women.

This double blind randomized clinical trial study was conducted in 2014 on 100 eligible primiparous women referred to Noorani hospital of Talesh. The participants were randomly allocated into two groups: A (drug) and B (placebo). After delivery, the subjects used the creams on episiotomy site twice a day for 10 days. They completed the researcher's questionnaires about satisfaction with treatment on the 10th day after delivery. Data were analyzed by SPSS software (version 19) and Mann-Whitney, independent t test and fisher exact test. P< 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

 The level of satisfaction in the intervention group with mean rating of 73.93 was higher than the control group with mean rating of 25.07. According to the Mann-Whitney test, the relationship between the two groups in terms of the level of satisfaction was significant (P<0.001)

Tea herb cream is effective on the satisfaction of pain improvement and wound healing.

Nowadays, nondrug treatments (mineral waters and plants) are novel therapeutic approaches for hyperlipidemia. The aim of the present study was the evaluation of the effects of calcic and magnesic sulfate mineral water and total extract of Hypericum perforatum on the serum lipid profile (T-CH, TG, HDL-CH, LDL-CH) in hypercholesterolemic rats. Thirty male rats (SD) weighing 100-150g were randomly divided into 5 experimental groups. The rats in control group were fed a standard diet and the other groups were fed a cholesterolrich diet for 60 days. Then, hypercholesterolemia was observed through analyzing the blood samples (P<0.001). In the second phase(therapeutic phase), control group(group1) was continued with standard laboratory diet, and hyperlipidemic rats were treated with total extract of Hypericum perforatum, tap water or mineral water for the next 60 days, as the following: group2: cholesterol-rich diet and tap water, group3: cholesterol-rich diet, tap water, total extract of Hypericum perforatum (4mg/kg, ip), group4: cholesterol-rich diet, tap water and total extract of Hypericum perforatum (12mg/kg, ip), group5: cholesterol-rich diet and mineral water. All groups received saline normal and DMSO as a solvent for extract through intra peritoneal (ip) injection. At the end of the period, blood samples of each group were drawn from venus plexus of eye and analyzed for the lipid levels of plasma. The results indicated that treatment by mineral water or total extract of Hypericum\ perforatum at the doses of 4 and 12mg/kg could reduce the levels of T-CH, TG, LDL-CH significantly (P<0.001). Total extract of Hypericum perforatum (4mg/kg, ip) and mineral water administration alter a statistically significant difference to the level of TG (P<0.001), but could not reduce T-CH, LDL-CH levels. Calcic and Magnesic Sulfate mineral water and total extract of Hypericum perforatum could reduce lipid profile especially TG. More studies are recommended.
