The seed extract of POMPELMO contains bioflavonoids and glycosides in the form of naringin (naringenin rutinoside), Isosakuranetine (didimin), neohesperidin, hesperidin, quercetin, campherol, dihydrocanferol, apigenin rutinoside, rhoifolina, heptamethoxyflavonide, nobiletine and some proteins, which exert a strong preservative action. Several laboratory tests and test series on cultures of fungi, viruses, bacteria and parasites have demonstrated the effect ANTIMICROBIAL on 794 virus and bacteria strains (249 Staphylococcus aureus, 86 Streptococcus sp., 232 Enterococcus sp., 77 Enterobacter sp., 86 E. coli sp.., 22 Klebsiella sp., 18 proteus sp., influenza viruses type A, A2, B, C, and herpetics, etc.) and ANTIFUNGAL on 93 mushroom strains (71 of saccharomyces and 22 of aspergilli), example Thrush (Candida albicans infection). The antimicrobial action of the extract seems to be expressed in the cytoplasmic membrane of microorganisms. The active ingredients lead to the disorganization of the cytoplasmic membrane, which prevents the absorption of amino acids (it dies because it has no food to feed itself), simultaneously allowing the escape of parts of cells with low molecular weight (it is as if it bled to death). When used correctly, grapefruit seed extract has so far been shown to be neither harmful nor toxic. It seems almost certain that preparations of ECHINACEA (Echinacea angustifolia)slow down the spread of pathogenic germs in tissues by triggering a defense mechanism and simultaneously activating the regenerative mechanisms of tissues. The active ingredient of this action would be a glucoside of caffeic acid and pyrocatechin, which would have the ability to inhibit the enzyme jaluronidase, indirectly responsible for the attack of microorganisms as well as their proliferation in tissues. The active ingredient would also have a direct action on the system Ac. Jaluronico-jaluronidasi, activating it and stimulating the proliferation of fibroblasts (The phagocytic action of echinacea…, in. Erb. Domani, 2/91, p. 16). Preparations based on Echinacea are considered effective in the treatment of septic states and infectious diseases accompanied by fever, especially if there is a manifested tendency to make relapses chronic; the plant also has anti-inflammatory and healing properties. The essential oil of CHAMOMILE (Matricaria chamomilla) is obtained by distillation of flowers in a stream of steam; The main constituents of the essence are: caprylic and monyl acid ethers and a hydrocarbon, Azulene. The essential oil has analgesic, bacteriostatic, febrifuge, immunostimulant, antispasmodic, sedative (children) properties. The essential oil of LAVENDER (Lavandula officinalis) is obtained by distillation of the plant in a steam stream. The main constituents of the essence are: ethers of linalyl and geranyl (35 to 55% linalyl acetate), ethers butyric acid and Valerian, geraniol, linalool, cineole, d-borneol, limonene, L-pinene, caryophyllene, coumarin etc .. Essential oil has properties pulmonary antiseptic and modifiers of bronchial secretions (beciche), bactericidal (J. Marchand, Forgues and P. Neurisse), antispasmodic, analgesic. Useful in respiratory tract disorders (asthma, convulsive coughs such as whooping cough), flu, bronchitis, childhood weakness, infectious diseases. The essential oil of MOUNTAIN PINE (Pinus mugo) is obtained by distillation of needles in a steam stream, the main constituents of the essence are: pinene, silvestrene, bornyl acetate, cadinene, pumilone. The essential oil has antiseptic properties of the respiratory tract (balsamic), antisepticof the urinary tract and liver. Useful in all diseases of the respiratory tract (colds, bronchitis, tracheitis, pneumonia, asthma, etc.), flu states, infections in general, urinary affections, etc. The essential oil of THYME (Thymus vulgaris) is obtained by distillation of the flowering tops in a stream of steam. The main constituents of the essence are: 2 phenols (thymol up to 60% and carvacrol), terpenes (pinene, cymene) and alcohol (linalool and borneol). The essential oil has immunostimulating, balsamic expectorant (secretion modifier), pulmonary antiseptic and nerve tonic properties. Useful in infectious diseases, lung diseases (emphysema, mycosis, bronchitis), asthma, cold-related diseases (influence, colds, aches, angina….), convulsive coughs, etc. The essential oil of ISSOP (Hyssopus officinalis) is obtained by steam distillation of the plant; the main constituents of the essence are: Fellandrene, Borneol, pine-canfone, thujone, limonene, geraniol. The essential oil has the property of facilitating and modifying expectoration (Fights stasis of bronchial secretions: “the essence is eliminated through the lungs“). Antiseptic, stimulant (excito-bulbar), etc. .. Useful in chronic bronchitis, coughs, flu, asthma, colds, dyspnea, loss of appetite, etc. .. The essential oil of EUCALYPTUS (Eucalyptus globulus) is obtained by steam distillation of the plant; the main constituents of the essence are: eucalyptus (80-85%) Fellandrene, aromadendrene, eudesmolo, pinene, camphene, valeric aldehydes, etc. .. The essential oil has bactericidal properties superior to pure eucalyptol, which is an excellent pulmonary antiseptic, whose elimination occurs partially through the bronchial mucosa (On Eucaliptus especially in relation to theirs bactericid power “Schimmel, Bulletin, October 1904”). This higher activity would depend on the presence of a small amount of ozone produced by the oxidation of fellandreni and aromadendreni. The main properties of the essence are: general antiseptic (especially of the respiratory tract), balsamic (cough calming, expectoration thinner), febrifuge, stimulants, etc. .. Useful in respiratory tract diseases (colds, bronchitis, tracheitis, pneumonia, asthma, etc.), asthenia, flu states, migraines, etc. .. The RIBES NIGRUM is the remedy for acute allergies, chronic gouty states and minor azotemic renal failure. Every acute adynamic syndrome finds its indispensable remedy in Ribes nigrum to increase the corticosteroid rate. Its action is exercised at the level of the adrenal cortex of which it seems to stimulate the secretion of anti-inflammatory hormones. Acting by direct stimulation of the adrenal cortex, it does not have the iatrogenic drawbacks of corticoids. In addition, it does not cause drowsiness. It has a clear anti-allergic action, indicated in all inflammatory states where the sedimentation speed is accelerated and in allergic cases, whatever their clinical aspect: rhinitis, bronchitis, asthma, gastritis, migraines, urticaria, Quincke’s edema, allergic rheumatism.
