Strophanthus Seed

Humanity has been using plants for a long time. Often people turned to nature for advice in the most difficult life situations. Here is a drop, now there is a blade of grass. Plants are credited with healing and mystical properties - magical decoctions, healing balms, a poisonous potion against an unfaithful wife, skopomora herb for refreshment and vigor. And this is not a complete list of what was attributed to plants. And if we could appeal to the scientific medical community in those distant times, we would have something to surprise not only him, but perhaps also his descendants in our days. Strophanthus, which was “grown” by nature itself, was not spared. This plant is not one of many in the world. It is a unique representative of the Kutrov family, which has no analogues in nature. The plant extract in its pure form was obtained on February 4, 1845. In 1913, scientists Waddu compiled the first monograph on the plant. And on January 26, 1939, the Institute of Medicinal Plants of France completed the official development of the medicinal herbal preparation and registered it under the name “composition of seven herbs.” The medicinal substance of the plant is called strophanthin K. The substance belongs to cardiac glycosides and is toxic. Available in concentrated liquid form, in ampoules of 0.1. The international chemical name of the substance is strophanthidin. The biological value of the component is equal to the purity of action, approximately equal to 90%, but, nevertheless, the product has a strong effect, and the sedative effect is less pronounced. It is worth noting that the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the component have not yet been fully studied. In the use of this plant, humanity has come to one of the most important discoveries. At first it was recognized as a choleretic, then as a cardiotonic, and finally, after deciphering the molecule of the substance, scientists put forward a theory that was simply confirmed. They developed a theory of influencing the body through hormonal effects. As it turned out, if an electric current is passed through the heart, it can cause an acceleration of the heartbeat. Also, this is confirmed by studies of animal physiology. So, by applying an electric current to the heart membrane I will lie down
