Nearly 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s Disease. This number is expected to rise in the future. Oregano is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. This means reducing inflammation in the body, such as muscles, nerves, etc. Two compounds in oregano were evaluated for their specific anti-inflammatory properties that model the tension in nerves. Solutions of the compounds were extracted using ethanol for Phenol-Type and methanol for Terpineol-Type. Groups were made separately and combined into three solutions: Terpineol-Type, Phenol-Type, and their combination. These solutions were then exposed to 3 planarians in each experimental group and control group in petri wells, and when exposed after day one, Terpineol-Type was the only experimental group that survived, other than the control group. When microscopically evaluated after six days, nerves were relieved and more defined compared to the control group. The locomotive test after four days showed that the planarians crossed a more significant amount of lines in the Terpineol-Type group than the control group. This concludes that the Terpineol-Type solution relieved the nerve tension and possibly could model a medication for Alzheimer’s Disease patients.
