Pharmacodynamics

It should be noted that the pharmacodynamics of most medicinal products based on medicinal plants has not been sufficiently studied so far, therefore the principles of their therapeutic effects are described without biochemical details. And pharmacokinetics is not described at all.

For example, the instructions indicate that the tincture of the motherwort with a climax soothes, relieves spasms and cramps, normalizes blood pressure and heart rate as they increase, and also helps to coagulate blood and increases diuresis. Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) contains bitter iridoid glycosides that have sedative properties, which reduce anxiety and normalize blood pressure and pulse, as well as antispastic alkaloid stachydrin, which tones up the muscles of the uterus, which explains its use in painful or irregular menstruation.

Tincture of the pion with climax is also used as a sedative. The root of the plant from which the tincture is prepared contains alkaloids, glycosides, polysaccharides, saponins, organic acids (in particular, gallic, which prevents peroxide oxidation of lipids). The vasodilating action of the pion, as well as its ability to inhibit platelet aggregation, are caused by the glycosides of peoniflorin and the pionol.

The main therapeutic effect of hawthorn tincture in menopause is activation of coronary and cerebral circulation and venous blood flow. Among the biologically active compounds of flowers and fruits of hawthorn, the spivot-bearing flavonoid apigenin and its derivatives isovitoxin and saponarethin play a special role; triterpenic acids (oleanolic, ursolic, krestegovaya), oligomeric proanthocyanidins and phenolic chlorogenic acid. Also, hawthorn is rich in vitamin P (routine), which expands the lumen of blood vessels and maintains blood pressure at a physiologically normal level.

The effect of the calendula tincture with climax is provided by triterpene glycosides (amirin, lupeol, arnidol, koflodiol, krasatriol, erythrodiol, etc.) contained in its flowers, flavonoids (quercetin and isoramnetin) and coumarins (scopoletin and umbelliferone).

The pharmacodynamics of tincture of the bovine uterus (one-sided or pear-shaped ortilia) is based on the multifaceted action of phenol-containing acids (chlorogenic and gallic) and phenolic compounds (arbutin), organic acids (including amber), amino acids (asparagine, cysteine, methionine, etc.), coumarins, bitterness, flavonoids, as well as microelements (iron, copper, zinc, manganese).

The therapeutic properties of the tincture of the red brush in menopause are due to the chemical composition of Rhodiola quadrifida roots, containing phenolic glycosides, flavonoids, sterols, tannins. In complex, they make this phyto-drug an effective adaptogen and stimulant of immunity, antispasmodic and analgesic, as well as a good anti-inflammatory and regenerating agent.
