NOTES ON SOME PLANTS: CHAMOMILE (Matricaria chamomilla) contains bisabolol, which is protective against gastroduodenal ulcerative lesions and gastritis. Apigenin and its glucosides contained in the plant have a spasmolytic and sedative action to the extent of about three times higher than papaverine. Therefore useful as an anti-inflammatory of the gastrointestinal tract, gastrointestinal spasmolytic and sedative. ESCOLTIA (Eschscholtzia californica) contains alkaloids (protopine, cryptopine and chelidonine) and flavonic glucosides and is the classic phytotherapeutic remedy for insomnia. Instead of disturbing the subject’s behavior, it normalizes his psychological functions. VALERIAN (Valeriana officinalis) contains borneolic esters which give the plant the characteristic sedative action and other glucosidic and alkaloid substances. The pharmacological action of the plant does not depend on a single substance, but on a complex of compounds. Borneol isovalerianate for example, even if it participates only in the biological activity of the drug, is in any case endowed with a weak narcotic power which promotes sleep in nervous subjects by decreasing the excitability of the spinal cord. A notable part of the neurotropic effects of valerian is due to the valeropotriates, which act as sedatives in some forms of agitation and are capable of achieving a sedative effect without depressing the ability to concentrate and the creative faculties. MELISSA (Melissa officinalis) contains essential oil (maximum 0.2%) containing citral, linalool, etc., it also contains flavonoids, triterpenes, polyphenols and tannins; it has relaxing, antispasmodic, nervous tonic properties and promotes the evacuation of gases. The calming effect on the central nervous system is given by citral. The plant has a beneficial effect on morale, it is an effective relaxant in case of anxiety, depression, nervousness and irritability. It decreases emotionality and calms heart palpitations of nervous origin. Melissa is also indicated when anxiety causes digestive disturbances such as indigestion, nausea, colic and gastric dilation. Sweet clover (Melilotus officinalis) has antispasmodic and sedative properties at the visceral level and the central nervous system, these properties are due to the coumarins (active ingredients) contained in it, furthermore, also containing flavonoids, it acts as a diuretic.
