#compound noun

• Wild mint — A popular name attributed in traditional phytotherapy to certain herbaceous plant species (such as types of wild mint or St. John's wort) whose leaves or inflorescences present an oily, sticky secretion resembling beads of sweat. In empirical beliefs, extracts obtained from this plant were used as poultices or infusions to soothe migraines and reduce severe febrile states.
• Self-assessment — The act of estimating or appreciating one's own knowledge, performance, qualities, or flaws; a critical analysis conducted by a person or an institution on their own activity.

• Self-isolation — The act of voluntarily separating oneself or doing so at the recommendation of authorities from the rest of society, by staying at home, to prevent the spread of a contagious disease or as a form of deliberate social withdrawal.

• Self-regulation — The property of biological, technical, or psychological systems to maintain their optimal operating state through internal control and correction mechanisms, without external intervention.

• Self-healing — The natural capacity of a living organism or the human psyche to repair affected tissues, combat diseases, or overcome emotional traumas through internal mechanisms, without direct external medical or therapeutic intervention.
