EchinaceaEchinacea angustifolia

Family: Compositae

Synonym: rudbeckia, purple coneflower.

Part used: the roots.

Popular and herbalist tradition: Echinacea is an adaptogenic plant that improves the resistance of the organism to external attacks by stimulating the immune system. Originally from the western North American plains, Echinacea is traditionally used for its properties of stimulating the immune system. Native Americans used echinacea for its properties of purifying the blood and for the treatment of numerous conditions: infections, wounds, eczema, rheumatism, syphilis, haemorrhoids and also as a general painkiller. At the beginning of the 20th century, European and American herbalists used this plant to treat viper bits and certain infectious illnesses such as typhoid and diptheria. In the twenties, it lost popularity with the arrival of synthetic drugs, nevertheless today it is one of the most widely used remedies for reinforcing the natural defences of the organism, especially against seasonal indispositions such as colds, influenza, coughs and seasonal allergies.

Principle ingredients: polyphenic compounds derived from caffeic acid: echinacoside, chicory acid, chlorogenic acid. Essential oil: polyacetylene compounds, N-isobutylamide Polysaccharides of high molecular weight.

EleuterococcusAcanthopanax senticosus Maxim

Family: Araliacee

Synonyms: Siberian ginseng, devil’s stick.

Part used: rhyzome and roots.

Popular and herbalist tradition: the botanic name of the family of eleuterococcus is “Acantopanax” where: Acanto means “thorny” - Panax means “panacea.” The modern story of this plant begins with Brekham, in the forties, who, in the course of research to find an alternative to ginseng, discovered that eleuterococcus offered many of the benefits of the very famous Chinese and Korean product. Later research by Soviet and Chinese scientists has shown that eleuterococcus is a tonic-adaptogen with peculiar characteristics often even greater than those of the Chinese root (for example, at the level of the immune system). It is still well known for its use to aid the performance of the Russian athletes at the Moscow Olympics and for cosmonauts during long periods in space. Eleuterococcus is traditionally indicated as a tonic to reinforce the body during exertions and as a remedy against debilitation and the tendency of diminished working capacity and concentration, and during convalescence. It possesses a general action of stimulating the immune system.

Principle ingredients: eleuterosides, polysaccharides, phenolic compounds (coumarins, lignans, phenilpropans).

HawthornCrataegus oxyacantha

Family: Rosaceae.

Synonyms: hawthorn, bossolin, spinapulce, calaringhe.

Parts used: flowers and leaves.

Popular and herbalist tradition: used in Europe since the Middle Ages, popular medicine indicates hawthorn as a sedative remedy for the Central Nervous System and it is recommended for heart and circulation disturbances. Western herbalists consider it to be “food for the heart” because it increases the flow of blood to the heart and regulates its beat. Moreover, it is present in various medicinal preparations against insomnia and nervous conditions. Hawthorn displays a recognised sedative and muscle relaxant action which makes it particularly indicated for states of stress and anxiety. It has been demonstrated that its administration brings a calming effect on the central nervous system, being especially indicated in cases of sleep disturbances and in conditions characterised by excessive emotionality and anxiety, in stress and in the menopause. It has also been confirmed that the plant contributes to the elimination of the emotional elements of certain states of hypertension. The studies carried out reveal an important action on the cardiovascular system with a real improvement in resistance to exertion.

SchisandraSchisandra chinensis

Famiglia: Schisandraceae.

Parts used: the fruit.

Popular and herbalist tradition: It is a deciduous and evergreen climber, of great development, with scented flowers and fruit similar to berries, widespread in eastern Asia and eastern North America, and introduced in the gardens of the West around 1850. The name Schisandra derives from the Greek, skhisis, “separation, fissure” and andros, “male,” referring to the garish dehiscence of the two anther pods. The Chinese name, “Wu Wei Zi” means “plant with 5 flavours” because, according to the system of traditional Chinese medicine, this plant contains all the flavours that regulate the effects of food on the body. Representative experiments showing the adaptogen action of Schisandra were conducted in the Soviet Union with volunteers from various professions; fighter pilots, wireless operators, athletes and intellectuals. The results were extremely positive with an improvement in performance, both physical and intellectual, with greater clarity of action and greater resistance to fatigue.

Principle ingredients: active schisandrina (methyl ester of polyphenols).

RhodiolaRhodiola rosea

Family: Crassulaceae.

Part used: the roots.

Synonyms: golden root.

Part used: the roots.

Popular and herbalist tradition: traditionally used in Nordic countries to increase physical resistance and immunity, and longevity of the individual, Rhodiola has an almost legendary history. In Siberia, roots are administered to couples before marriage to promote the birth of healthy children. Rhodiola, believed to be a powerful stimulant, was used in the formulation of various love potions; the Ukrainian prince, Galitsky, who lived in the 13th century, boasted of being a great lover thanks to the roots of Rhodiola. For many centuries, Chinese emperors, who used the root to treat many different disturbances and illnesses, sent expeditions to eastern Siberia in search of the area where Rhodiola grew spontaneously. The first scientific studies on Rodiola date back to the first half of the last century, when groups of Russian scientists began to observe the effects of this plant; it was only in the early years of the sixties that information about the benefits and properties of Rhodiola was made public in the western world.

Nettle Urtica dioica

The leaves contain polyphenols, potassium salts, salicilic acid, mineral salts and vitamins. The leaf extract is used traditionally for its diuretic effect, due to the presence of mineral salts and flavonoids, and its restorative effect. In popular medicine, nettle leaves are used for their “haematopoietic“ action. In the Urtica dioica leaves, high concentrations of mineral salts are present, in particular, potassium (21 mg/g), calcium (49 mg/g), magnesium (4.6 mg/g) and silicates. In addition, the following are present; organic acids; proteins (23-24% of the dried plant); free amino acids; ammines: flavonoids (glycosides of quercetin, kempferol and isoramnetina), coumarins (scopoletina) sitosterol, sitosterol-_-glycoside derivatives and stearyl; lignans, chlorophylls (chlorophyll A and B) and their degradation products, carotenoids (including beta-carotene and xanthophyll); vitamins (including, vitamin C, vitamins of group B, vitamin K); tannins. The high nutritional power of this plant makes it useful in cases of anaemia of conditions of debilitation. Studies carried out on the active ingredients of the class of lectins contained in this plant have shown that extracts containing lectins act on the specific

activators of lymphocyte T, with an effect similar to that of other substances with immuno-stimulant actions.
