Introduction: This bibliometric study explores the use of herbal medicine as a treatment for insomnia, identifying trends and gaps in existing literature. It provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research, guiding future efforts and improving care quality for insomnia patients. Materials and methods: This research aims to explore the evolution of scientific disciplines by finding and identifying trends, patterns and correlations in scientific texts related to certain topics. The focus of this study was on insomnia, therapy, and "herbal medicine" using both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Results and discussion: The study evaluates the use of herbal medicine for insomnia, finding a significant increase in publications but a lack of information on correct dosage. This highlights a gap in literature and calls for further research on dosage and methodological standards to improve its effectiveness.; and Conclusions: The study confirms the effectiveness of herbal medicine as an insomnia therapy, but highlights the need for further research on appropriate dosage for safer and more effective treatment. This research was conducted in January 2025.

Marine products have gained attention for their potential benefits in the treatment of breast cancer, offering an alternative or supplementary approach to traditional therapies. While they are not intended to replace established medical treatments like chemotherapy or surgery, marine natural products have shown promise in providing symptom relief, enhancing the quality of life, and potentially improving treatment success for breast cancer patients. Studies have explored the use of marine products in conjunction with chemotherapy for their palliative care benefits and as adjuvants to conventional therapies. Marinederived compounds have been investigated for their anticancer properties, including apoptosis induction, anti-proliferative effects, and modulation of signaling pathways involved in breast cancer progression. These natural products offer a complementary avenue for managing breast cancer, potentially enhancing treatment outcomes, and addressing therapeutic challenges. The utilization of marine products in breast cancer therapy dates back to ancient times when various cultures recognized the therapeutic benefits of plants, herbs, and marine resources. The purpose of this study is to visually map and guide future research on supplementary marine products and chemotherapy in breast cancer based on bibliometric analysis
