Murraya kenigii

Product : Consitap Ayurvedic Herbal Drink (Tea)
Botanical Name : Murraya Koenigii
Family : Rutaceae
Common Name : Curry leaves, Curryleaf tree, Sweet nim, Curry Leaf
Tamil : Karuvepila , Karuveppillai
SansKrit : Kalashaka
Sri Lankan Name : Karapincha
Other names : Nim leaf
Murraya koenigii is an aromatic stomachic and carminative and is useful in anorexia acute and chronic dyspepsia flatulence and colic. It is often employed to correct the griping pains caused by purgatives. It is used as an antidote for snake bites especially the bites of Kraits.
The leaves are packed with minerals, vitamins A and B, and rich sources of carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, alkloids. Researchers at King's College, London, claimed that the curry-leaf (Murraya Koenigii), which is traditionally used in both Ayurveda and Indian cuisine, could aid people with diabetes. The researchers found extracts from the curry-leaf appeared to restrict the action of a digestive enzyme called pancreatic alpha-amylase which is involved in the breakdown of dietary starch to glucose. Because diabetics do not produce enough insulin to cope with rapid rises in blood glucose levels, slowing the rate of starch breakdown, by blocking alpha-amylase, can lead to a more even trickle of glucose into the bloodstream from the intestine, they reported. The researchers are now looking at which compound in the curry-leaf tree has this effect. They say that, once it has been identified, it should be possible to evaluate if it could be better than existing anti-diabetic drugs. Professor Peter Houghton, head of the research team, said: "The curry-leaf is used to control diabetes in traditional Indian medicine; it is not an uncommon ingredient in some curries and it is quite possible that people who take this regularly as part of their diet could control diabetes. The research is being supported by a leading US drug company, Merck Research Laboratories
Description
The fresh leaves of Murraya koenigii are generally used. Its sensoric quality is fresh and pleasant, remotely reminiscent of tangerines. The origin of this plant is in Southern India and Sri Lanka.
Aroma and Flavor
Fresh leaves may contain up to 2.6% essential oil. The following aroma components have been identified (in parentheses, the content in mg/kg fresh leaves): beta-caryophyllene (2.6 ppm), beta-gurjunene (1.9), beta-elemene (0.6), beta-phellandrene (0.5), beta-thujene (0.4), alpha-selinene (0.3), beta-bisabolene (0.3), furthermore limonene, beta-trans-ocimene and beta-cadinene (0.2 ppm).
The leaves, the bark and the roots of Murraya koenigii (L.) Spreng. can be used as a tonic and a stomachic. The bark and the roots are used as a stimulant by the physicians. They are also used externally to cure eruptions and the bites of poisonous animals. The green leaves are stated to be eaten raw for curing dysentery, and the infusion of the washed leaves stops vomiting (Watt, 1891; Kirtikar and Basu, 1935; Dastur, 1962). A strong odiferous oil occurs in the leaves and the seeds of Murraya koenigii (L.) Spreng. The chemical examination of this oil has been made by Nigam and Purobit (1961). Gautam and Purobit (1974) reported that this essential oil exhibited a strong antibacterial and antifungal activity. An alkaloid, murrayacinine, is also found in this plant (Chakrabarty et al., 1974).
Murraya koenigii is an aromatic stomachic and carminative and is useful in anorexia acute and chronic dyspepria flatulenee and colic. It is often employed to correct the griping pains caused by purgatives. It is used as an amtidote for snake bites aspecially the bites of Kraits.
Terminalia chebula

Product : Consitap Ayurvedic Herbal Drink (Tea)
Botanical Name : Terminalia chebula
Family : Combretaceae
Common Name : Myroblaln, Hardad, Chebulic Myrobala
Tamil : Kadaukkai
SansKrit : Harithaki
Sri Lankan Name : Aralu
Other names : Myroblaln, Hardad, Chebulic Myrobalan
Teminalia Chebula is astringent because of the tannin it contains. An infusion of it is used as a lotion in chronic irritable ulcers and weeping eczema as an injection in lencorrhoea, chronic dysentery and bleeding haemorrhoids and as a gargle in weak and spongy gums.
Taken to small doses Terminalia Chebula acts as a bitter stomachic cholagogue and astringent. As a stomachic and cholagogue it is useful in anorexia chronic dyspepsia and dyspepsia associated with a sluggish liver. It may in these cases be given with milk or whey, which helps to cover its taste. Thus administered it stimulates the appetite aids the digestion and improves the general condition. As an astringent it is useful in acut and chronic dysentery. Administered in goat milk it gives excellent results in chronic dysentery. In large doses it acts as a cholagogue purgative, and this is its chief action. It acts without griping producing yellowish liquid free and easy stools. Occasionally however griping is produced indicating peristaltic action. As a cholagogue purgative it is useful in all condition where it is necessary to deplete the portal system. It is useful also in fevers when as aperient is needed as an occasional purgative to procure a free evacuation of the bowels, and for frequent use in habitual constipation and haemorrhoids. About a drachm of the powder taken once a day with an equal quantity of cane sugar is a popular formula for habitual constipation and haemorrhoids. Like rheubarb it constipates after the purging and this effect is due to the tannin it contains. This action rendered it useful in the early stages of diarrhoea and dysentery when it is necessary to remove irritating matters from the intestines. In dysentery it is a common remedy of the native physicians. Some administer it invariably in the early stages to be followed by other drugs; others use this drug alone during the whole course of the disease. A few large doses are first administered fill the bowels are well cleared, after which it is given in smaller and gradually reduced doses. The purgative action of the drug is thus reduced while the astringent effect is maintained and thus the stools gradually diminish in number and improve in consistence and quality.
After absorption in to the blood it exerts a remote astringent effect, which renders it useful in internal haemorrhaoes. It may in these cases be given with advantage with Terminalia Bellarica and phylanthus emblica. This mixture of the three Myrobalans is employed in a variety of affection, with good results. It is used in all congested conditions of the eyes, in acute and chronic congestion lf the liver in haemophilia and purpura haemorrhagica in diabete mellitus, boils and abscesses, eczema psoriasis impetigo acne dermatitis.
Haritaki or Terminalia chebula is great herb with lack of extensive research studies. Despite this fact it has been in use as the most frequently used herb in Ayurveda. One Ayurveda Genius went to the extent to claim that mother can harm the child sometimes when angry but the T. chebula fruit can't harm when it is taken as a medicine.
Terminalia chebula fruit is mild laxative, stomachic, tonic, alterative, adaptogen, hepatoprotective, febrifuge, antispasmodic, expectorant, anti-asthmatic, antiviral and hypoglycaemic. It is useful in ophthalmia, hemorrhoids, dental caries, bleeding gums, ulcerated oral cavity and in many other diseases according to Ayurveda.
Terminalia chebula is a commonly advocated agent in Ayurveda for improving gastrointestinal motility. Charles Foster rats (150-200 gms of either sex) were divided into four groups as follows--Group 1 (n = 15) normal animals; Group II (n = 6) rats administered metoclopramide (1.35 mg/kg); Group III (n = 8) rats given atropine (0.45 mg/kg). These agents were injected intramuscularly, 30 mins before the experiment. Rats from Group IV (n = 8) were administered Terminalia chebula (100 mg/kg/day for 15 days orally).
Metoclopramide and atropine have established prokinetic and antikinetic activities respectively and are therefore included for comparison. All rats were then given a test meal of methyl cellulose (1.5%) mixed with phenol red (50 mg/100 ml) orally and gastric emptying was measured 20 mins later. Gastric emptying of normal rats (Group I) was found to be 51.6 +/- 7.79%. Metoclopramide significantly increased the gastric emptying (76.33 +/- 12.37%; p < 0.01) and atropine inhibited the motility (% gastric emptying being 7.26 +/- 19.76%; p < 0.01).
Terminalia chebula was found to increase the percent gastric emptying (86.57 +/- 6.65%; p < 0.01). Thus from this study it appears that Terminalia chebula can serve as an useful alternative to prokinetic drugs available today.
Action and uses as per Ayurveda: Rejuvenative, astringent, laxative, nervine tonic. Used in remedies for jaundice, colic, anemia, cough, asthma, hoarse voice, vomiting, hemorrhoids, diarrhea, malabsorption, abdominal distention, gas, muscular rheumatism, Anthelmintic, spleen and liver disorders, gargle for sore throat.

Various extracts have been prepared from the powdered fruits. It contains a constituent which has a wide anti- bacterial and antifungal spectrum, and also inhibits growth of E. coli, the most common organism responsible for urinary tract infection.
The plant is used extensively in the preparation of many ayurvedic formulations for infectious diseases such as: chronic ulcers, leucorrhoea, pyorrhoea and fungal infections of the skin.
Historical Ayurvedic uses suggest to be used in cough conditions, asthma, abdominal distention, tumors, heart disease, skin disease, and itching. Terminalia chebula is a tree with a rounded crown and spreading branches. Its principal constituents are chebulagic, chebulinic acid and corilagin. Its fruits have laxative, stomachic, tonic and alterative properties. It is also known as an adaptogen, and hepatoprotective drug. It acts as a gentle laxative and helps in smooth evacuation. It is an effective purgative and helps in removing toxins and fats from the body, resulting in their reduced absorption.

The fruit contains the highest amount of Vitamin C in natural form and cytokine like substances identified as zeatin, z. riboside, z. nucleotide.Its fruit is acrid, cooling, refrigerant, diuretic and laxative. The dried fruit is useful in hemorrhage, diarrhea and dysentery.It is antibacterial and its astringent properties prevent infection and help in the healing of ulcers. It is used as a laxative to relieve constipation in piles. It is used in the treatment of leukorrhea and artherosclerosis. Amalaki is referred to in ancient text as the best medicine to prevent aging. It is a very strong rejuvenative which is believed to be the richest natural source ofantioxydant vitamin C, with up to 720 mg/100g of fresh pulp or up to 900 mg/100g of pressed juice (of a heat-stable form which does not lose its value through processing.) Although only one inch in diameter, the Amalaki fruit has the same antiscorbutic value as two oranges. Amalaki is also effective for respiratory complaints. The fruit juice and its sediment, and residue, have antioxidant properties due to Vitamin C content. Amalaki is a carminative and stomachic. It is used in Ayurveda as a cardiotonic, aphrodisiac, antipyretic, antidiabetic, cerebral and gastrointestinal tonic. It raises the total protein level and increases the body weight due to positive nitrogen balance. It has been found to have an anabolic effect. Amla is highly nutritious and is an important dietary source of Vitamin C, minerals and amino acids. The edible fruit tissue contains protein concentration 3-fold and ascorbic acid concentration 160-fold compared to that of the apple. The fruit also contains considerably higher concentration of most minerals amino acids than apples. Amla fruit ash contains chromium, 2.5 ; zinc, 4; and copper, 3 ppm. Presence chromium is of therapeutic value in diabetes. Fruit also contains phyllemblin and curcuminoides. The fruit contained 482.14 units of superoxide dismutase/g fresh weight, and exhibited antisenescent activity. The seed oil contains 64.8% linolenic acid and closely resembles linseed oil. Not surprisingly, Amla's reputation is supported by scientific studies confirming its immunity-boosting properties. Clinical studies were conducted to investigate the effect of Amalaki in amlapitta (gastritis syndrome). Amalaki churna was given in 20 cases in a dose of 3g., thrice a day for seven days. The drug was found effective in 85 per cent of cases. Cases of hyperchlorhydria with burning sensation in abdominal and cardiac regions and epigastric pain were benefited.
Medicinal Uses: The emblic is of great importance in Asiatic medicine, not only as an antiscorbutic, but in the treatment of diverse ailments, especially those associated with the digestive organs. For such use, the fruit juice is prepared in the form of a sherbet or is fermented. In the latter state, it is prescribed in jaundice, dyspepsia and coughs. The dried chips of flesh are dispensed by apothecaries and often are mixed with grape juice and honey for dosage. The fruit is considered diuretic and laxative. Triphala, a decoction of emblic with Terminalia chebula Retz. and T. bellerica Roxb. is given for chronic dysentery, biliousness, hemorrhoids, enlarged liver, and other disorders. A powder prepared from the dried fruit is an effective expectorant as it stimulates the bronchial glands. The juice that exudes when the fruit is scored while still on the tree is valued as an eyewash and an application for inflamed eyes. An infusion made by steeping dried fruit overnight in water also serves as an eyewash, as does an infusion of the seeds. A liquor made from the fermented fruits is prescribed as a treatment for indigestion, anemia, jaundice, some cardiac problems, nasal congestion and retention of urine.
Cassia obovata

Product : Consitap Ayurvedic Herbal Drink (Tea)
Botanical Name : Cassia obovata
Family : Euphorbiacene
Common Name : Alexandria Senna, Tinnivelly Senna
Tamil :
SansKrit : Amalaka
Sri Lankan Name : Senehekola
Other names : Alexandria Senna
Senna is any herb, shrub, or tree of the genus Cassia in the pulse family, Leguminosae, order Rosales; the name is also applied to any of several cathartic drugs derived especially from the leaves. The dried leaves of Cassia acutifolia (Alexandria senna) and C. angustifolia (Indian senna) are utilized for purgatives. Both species are cultivated in southern India. Wild senna, C. marilandica, a native of the eastern United States, has also been used for its purgative properties. The cathartic canafistula is extracted from the fruit pulp of C. fistula, the golden-shower tree of India. C. nictitans, the wild sensitive plant, is an herb of North America whose sensitive leaflets rapidly respond to touch by drooping, a reaction similar to that of the true sensitive plant, the mimosa. The seeds of some species are used as a coffee substitute.
Action and Therapy - Senna is a manageable and useful cathartic producing copious yellowish-brown evacuations, and causing considerable griping when used alone. While it influences the whole intestinal tract, exciting peristalsis as it passes along, the greater action is exerted upon the colon. This renders it a certain purgative, for by this sequence the whole canal is the more readily emptied. It does not produce after-constipation, as does rhubarb and some other laxatives; and it may purge a nursing infant when administered to the mother. Senna is neither sedative nor refrigerant, but if anything somewhat stimulant, and is, therefore, not to be given in irritated or acutely inflamed conditions of the alimentary tube nor when there is great debility, or hemorrhoids, or prolapse of the rectum. Notwithstanding, it is effectual and safe to cleanse the bowels at the beginning of fevers, when such an effect is desired. It may be used as a laxative or more complete cathartic in children and adults when a severe action is not indicated. In most individuals it occasions nausea, tormina and flatulence when given alone, as in senna tea, but these effects may be mitigated by infusing it with coffee, or by the addition of cloves, ginger, peppermint, cinnamon, or other aromatic corroborants. Cream of tartar added to it increases its action, producing a hydragogue and refrigerant effect, while bitters in general seem to increase its action. Senna is one of the anthracene group of cathartics, and its action is largely, though not wholly, due to the presence of cathartinic acid. The latter taken up by the blood, or injected, is emptied into the intestinal canal, thereby causing or prolonging catharsis.
Ipomaea turpenthum

Product : Consitap Ayurvedic Herbal Drink (Tea)
Botanical Name : Ipomaea turpenthum
Family : Convolvulaceae
Common Name : Alexandria Senna, Tinnivelly Senna
Tamil : Shivadai
SansKrit : Trivrit
Sri Lankan Name : Thiressavalu
Other names : Turpeth Root, Indian Jalap, Trivrit, Nisoth
The action of Ipomaea turpenthum is similar to that of Jalap. In large doses it causes gastric irritation with nausea and vomiting. In ordinary doses it acts as a hydragogue cathartic and is useful in anasarca, ascites and other conditions where it is necessary to remove much fluid from the system. It is useful also as an occasional purgative to procure a free evacuation of the bowels. In small doses it acts as a cholagogue laxative and as such is valuable in habitual constipation and haemorrhoids. It is largely employed by the native physicians in the treatment of snake bites and its virtues are attributable to its eliminative powers as a purgative.
Turpeth consists of the dried root and stem of Ipomoea Turpethum, R. Br. (N.O. Convolvulaceae), a native of India and Ceylon. The drug occurs in cylindrical pieces from 1.5 to 5 centimetres in diameter, the central woody portion being often removed by splitting the bark on one side. Externally the pieces are of a greyish-brown colour, and deeply furrowed longitudinally. The fracture is short; a transverse section, in which the central portion has not been removed, exhibits an outer cortical portion and a central woody column containing large wood vessels. The drug has but a faint odour and taste.
Ipomoea Turpethum (operculina Turpethum (L.) Peter) (Fam. Convolvulaceae) is a convolvulaceous plant which is found throughout India, China, Ceylon, Australia, and is occasionally cultivated in botanical gardens as an ornamental plant. There are two varieties, viz., Sveta or white turpeth, and Kirshna or black turpeth, the former being preferred as a mild cathartic. The black variety is said to be a powerful drastic. (Watt, "Dictionary of the Economic Products of India.")
According to Merat and De Lens, the root itself formerly came into commerce, but at present turpeth consists of the root and stem of the plant cut into short lengths, usually from 1.5 to 5 cm. in diameter; the central woody portion is often removed by splitting the bark on one side. The pieces are cylindrical, some what twisted and externally of a dull gray color. A transverse section shows a porous central wood surrounded by a broad cortical portion, containing yellowish-brown resin cells, lactiferous vessels and crystals of calcium oxalate. The fracture is short in the cortex and fibrous in the central portion. The drug has a faint odor and a nauseous taste, which is perceptible only after it has been some time in the mouth.
"In cylindrical pieces of varying length, from one to five centimetres wide, often split on one side and deprived of the central portion; longitudinally furrowed; dull grey or brown. Fracture of the bark short, of the wood fibrous; internally usually pale grey. In transverse section, a porous wood surrounded by a thick bark in which abnormal wood-bundles are frequently present. Slight odor; taste nauseous, slowly developed." Br. Boutron-Chalard found in turpeth root, resin, a fatty substance, volatile oil, albumen, starch, a yellow coloring matter, lignin, salts, and ferric oxide. (J. P. C., viii, 121.) The root contains 10 per cent. of resin. (Andouard, Ann. Ther., 1866, 118.) According to Spirgatis this resin is a glucoside, turpethin, C76H128O36 like that of other Convolvulaceae, insoluble in ether, but soluble in alcohol, to which it imparts a brown color not removable by animal charcoal. To obtain it pure, the alcoholic solution is concentrated; the resin precipitated by, and" afterwards boiled with, water, then dried, reduced to powder, digested with ether, and finally redissolved by absolute alcohol and thrown down by ether. After being treated several times in this way, it is obtained in the state of a brownish resin, yielding on pulverization a gray powder, which strongly irritates the mucous membrane of the nostrils and mouth, and is fusible at 182.2° C. (360° F.). It is inflammable, burning with a smoky flame and emitting irritant vapors. With strong bases it acts like jalapin, takes up water, and is transformed into a soluble acid, turpethic acid, C34H60O18, while with dilute acids it is decomposed into turpetholic acid, C16H32O4, and glucose. (J. P. C., 4e ser., i, 236.)
Constituents.- The chief constituent is about 10 per cent. of a grey resin, insoluble in ether, called turpethin, which resembles jalapin (convolvulin). The drug also contains a small quantity of an ether-soluble resin, and traces of volatile oil and fatty matter.
Action and Uses.-Turpeth has properties resembling those of jalap, but is slower in its action and rather less powerful. It is official in India and the Eastern Colonies for use in place of jalap.
