« Motherwort P" at disorders of the nervous system

« Motherwort P» - an effective remedy for disorders of the nervous system. U calming properties motherwort Herbalists and healers used it back in the 15th century. Scientists became interested in the medicinal capabilities of the plant only in the first half of the 20th century.

Group of specialists Tomsk Medical Institute named after V. M. Molotov, under the leadership of N. N. Yablokova, studied 50 people suffering from vegetative-vascular dystonia (N. N. Yablokova “Clinical observations on the effect of motherwort in diseases of the nervous system”, 1941). Patients complained of irritability, increased emotional excitability, tearfulness, increased sweating, discomfort in the limbs, pain in the heart, headaches, and insomnia. Treatment with motherwort preparations was carried out, after which 43 subjects (86%) showed significant improvements in their condition. The above symptoms either completely disappeared or weakened. Most patients with high blood pressure experienced a moderate decrease in blood pressure.

The same scientists studied the possibilities of using motherwort in the treatment of diseases of the peripheral nervous system (polyneuritis, neuritis and neuralgia of the sciatic nerve, radiculitis, trigeminal neuralgia). 20 people with the above diagnoses were examined. After motherwort therapy, almost all patients (except those suffering from radiculitis) experienced a decrease in pain.

The effect of motherwort in various forms of epilepsy was also studied. In 5 out of 8 cases, a positive therapeutic effect was observed, which consisted of increasing the time interval between seizures. The best results were observed in cases where seizures were caused by mental fatigue, anxiety and other similar influences. However, this effect ceased when treatment was discontinued.

« Motherwort P"containing motherwort herb, has a wide spectrum of effects on the central nervous system. The drug reduces nervous excitability, has antispasmodic, anticonvulsant effects, promotes the regeneration of nerve cells, and normalizes their usual functions. Its sedative effect also extends to the autonomic nervous system, which regulates the functioning of internal organs and blood vessels.

It has been proven (V.V. Zverev, NIHFI, M.V. Vershinin, D.D. Yablokov, Department of Pharmacology of Tomsk Medical Institute, A.Ya. Gubergrits, N.I. Solomchenko, N.V. Kozlovskaya) that the calming effect motherwort herb is 2-3 times higher than that of valerian. In a number of countries around the world, for example, in the USA and Canada, manufacturers of herbal pharmaceuticals have almost completely abandoned the use of valerian in favor of motherwort. The latter, by the way, is much easier to grow.

« Motherwort P" Not has a hypnotic effect, however, it facilitates the onset of sleep and promotes a calm and deep flow of the natural physiological process. Natural dietary supplement enhances the effect of sleeping pills, sedatives, anticonvulsants and painkillers.

« Motherwort P» in a comprehensive treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system

Treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system is often symptomatic. Blood pressure has increased - antihypertensive drugs are prescribed. Increased heart rate - beta blockers. Tormented by shortness of breath - glucocorticoids. These remedies allow you to quickly get rid of symptoms, but, as a rule, do not eliminate the main cause of the disease and have a lot of serious side effects. " Motherwort P"acts on the blood vessels and heart in several directions at once, gently correcting the functioning of vital organs and without having a destructive effect on the body:

relieves spasms (narrowing) of the blood vessels of the heart and brain by influencing the autonomic nervous system, dilates the coronary vessels of the heart, thereby improving the blood supply to these organs and providing them with oxygen, and relieves acute headaches;
reduces shortness of breath - a feeling of lack of air that occurs in response to insufficient oxygen supply to the blood;
prevents excessive blood clotting, prevents thrombosis (ZouO. Z. et al. “Effects of mothewort on blood hyperviscosity”, American Journal of Clinical Medicine, 1989);
reduces blood pressure, which often becomes a consequence of malnutrition of the brain, as well as increased blood viscosity (A. D. Turova, “Medicinal plants of the USSR and their use,” 1974);
inhibits the excitation of the central nervous system, reduces the brain’s reaction to any stimuli, relieves worries, worries, fear, stress;
reduces the level of bad cholesterol in the blood;
has an antioxidant effect, increases the resistance of cell membranes to the effects of toxic substances, maintains the balance of the internal environment of the body (SunJ. et al. “Anti-oxidative stress of Herba Leonuri on ischemic hearts”, 2005);
slows down the heart rate (V. G. Nikolaeva), the increase of which (tachycardia) is often the result of nervous excitement;
increases the force of heart contractions (cardiotonic effect) - this function is closely interconnected with the previous one; at rest, the heart rate and their strength compensate each other: when the heart rate increases, the force of heart contractions decreases and vice versa (G. A. Vakslager, V. P. Sysoeva ). " Motherwort P"- has a similar effect to cardiac glycosides.

Studies of the therapeutic effectiveness of motherwort preparations in the treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system, conducted by specialists from the Tomsk Medical Institute, have made it possible to establish significant improvements in clinical indicators in patients diagnosed with cardiosclerosis, cardioneurosis, hypertension, angina pectoris, myocarditis, and cerebral vascular sclerosis.

Application " Motherwort P"in the complex therapy of this disease will allow you to control the heartbeat, without directly affecting the production of hormones by the thyroid gland. Most plants of the Lamiaceae family, unlike motherwort, contain thyroid-suppressive compounds that suppress the function of the thyroid gland.

The World Health Organization reports that there are no documented studies on the toxicity of its main component - motherwort. Only cytotoxicity (the ability to damage cells) is known. ursolic acid contained in the plant. However, this applies to cancer stem cells.

Therapeutic effect " Motherwort P", like many other herbal-based drugs, does not appear immediately. Biologically active substances from plants act on the human body more subtly than synthetic drugs, and this takes longer. However, this is the advantage of natural drugs: their mild effect does not have a destructive effect on the body and does not disrupt the functioning of its organs and systems. Some patients, wanting to enhance the effect of taking a dietary supplement or speed up its manifestation, independently increase the dosage selected by the doctor, and this causes a deterioration in their well-being.

**Advantages drug "Moonwort" P"**

Herbal medicines, which have a sedative effect, are easy to find on pharmacy shelves. A lot of pharmaceutical companies are involved in their production. How to navigate this diversity and make the best choice? Let's talk about the benefits drug "Moonwort" P".

One of them - refusal of extraction in the manufacture of dietary supplements. In pharmacology, it is customary to conditionally divide mineral substances and organic compounds of plants into active (having medicinal properties), accompanying (having a beneficial or undesirable effect on the human body - vitamins, minerals, sugars, anthranol derivatives and others) and ballast (not exhibiting active properties). Most manufacturers prefer to isolate (extract) their active substances from medicinal plants, cutting off all others, and include them in their preparations. This greatly simplifies the process of making tablets and allows them to extend their shelf life. However, today there is no exact data on which plant substances should be considered active. In addition, ballast and related substances are also necessary for the body. They promote better absorption of active substances and ensure the removal of their breakdown products. The company "Parapharm" is the manufacturer of " Motherwort P» uses entire plants with a full range of their substances in its preparations - just as our distant ancestors did, treating with herbs.

An important aspect in the production of plant-based preparations is the method of preserving the beneficial substances of the raw materials. It is known that any change in the conditions of a plant’s usual environment (for example, a significant increase in temperature during heat treatment) affects the bonds of atoms in the molecules of its substances and leads to the destruction of molecular structures. Thus, a protein molecule can unwind into a chain of amino acids. Along with this, there is a loss of biological activity of substances. How to avoid this? The answer is simple: get as close as possible to the natural conditions for the plant. The Parapharm company succeeded. It exposes plant raw materials not to heat treatment, but to cold. In nature, plants are perennials, which include motherwort, also survive winter frosts every year and do not lose their beneficial properties. Cryotreatment allows you to preserve the valuable properties of plants as much as possible, get rid of bacteria, and ensure better absorption of active substances.

« Motherwort P"is the healing power of the plant, preserved for a long time in a form convenient for administration.
