Table 4. Antibacterial activity of the five tested plants.

Figure 1. Effect of Lavandula stoechas L. spp. Luisieri, Crataegus monogyna L, Geranium purpureum Vil., Equisetum arvenses and Mentha suaveolens Ehrh. on the proliferation of human tumour (Hep G2) and non-tumour (fibroblasts) cell lines as determined by the MTT assay. The bars represent the fibroblasts while the marks represent the Hep G2 cells. The mean values with asterisks were significantly different (p < 0.05), n = 3.
