Description
HEPATIS POWDER is a combination of herbs like 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.
Antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of Tulsi has been
shown against M. tuberculosis and Staph aureus in vitro and other
bacteria and fungi. Eugenol and methyleugenol showed a positive
activity. Adaptogenic (antistress) activity has been found in mice
and rats. The plant increased the physical endurance and prevented
stress-induced ulcers. In general pharmacology the aqueous extract
showed hypotensive activity and inhibited the smooth muscle
contraction induced by acetylcholine, carbachol and histamine. It
also potentiated the hexobarbitone sleeping time. Protective
action against histamine-induced bronchospasm has been shown in
animals.
A tea prepared with the leaves of Tulsi is commonly used in
cough,cold,mild indigestion, diminished appetite and malaise.The
solid extract of Tulsi, in a dose of 500 mg x 3 for one week,
significantly relieved the breathlessness in 20 patients with
tropical eosinophilia. There was however no reduction in the
eosinophil count in peripheral blood. It is commonly used with
black pepper in bronchial asthma. An oil exlacted from Tulsi is
used as drops in ear infections. Fungal and bacterial infections
of skin are treated with Tulsi juice. The seeds are used as a
general tonic.
Dosage
2 spoons at a time, 3 times a day or as directed by the Physician.
