Indications
Useful in all kinds of anemic diseases.
Description:
The leaves of the vasa plant contain the alkaloid vasicine
(C11H12N2O), which is responsible for the small but persistent
bronchodilatation, and an essential oil which is chiefly
responsible for the expectorant action. The leaves and roots
contain other alkaloids, vasicinone, vasicinolone and vasicol,
which may contribute to the bronchodilatory effect through
anticholinergic action on the vagal innervation of the bronchii.
The bronchodilation effect is considerably increased after
atropine administration. Studies have also shown vasa to be
effective in the treatment of amlapitta (dyspepsia) and pyorrhea .
The in vitro growth of several strains of Mycoplasma tuberculosis
was inhibited by the essential oil at concentrations in the range
of 2-20 ug/ml. . There has also been a report of thrombopoetic
(platelet-increasing) activity with vasicine.
Tulasi leaf powder was fed at the 1% level in normal and diabetic
rats for a period of one month to explore the effect on fasting
blood sugar, uronic acid, total amino acids, and the lipid profile
in serum and tissue lipids. The results indicated a significant
reduction in fasting blood sugar, uronic acid, total amino acids,
total cholesterol, triglyceride, phospholipids and total lipids.
In liver, total cholesterol, triglyceride and total lipids were
significantly lowered. Total lipids were significantly reduced in
kidney. In heart, a significant fall in total cholesterol and
phospholipids was observed. All these observations indicate the
hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effect of Tulasi in diabetic rats.
