Teucrium species have been used for more than 2000 years as medicinal plants. They showed diuretic, diaphoretic, antiseptic and antipyretic activities. Antifeedant activities of some species previously studied against Spodeptera littoralis were presented herein. Teucrium species are used as hypoglycemic agents in North Africa and Saudi Arabia. They also possess antispasmolitic activity and used in the treatment of stomach aches. Some of the Teucrium extracts exhibited central nervous system depressant action. [Pg.591]

Teucrium species are used in folk medicine as diuretic, diaphoretic, carminative, astringent, stimulant and tonic, antiseptic, antipyretic and antiinflammatory agents. T. cubense [92] for example is used against stomach aches and as an amoebacide. Teucjaponin A(32) obtained from T. japonicum [33] was shown to be antifeedant for the larve of Prodenia litura. Its threshold concentration for inhibitory activity was about 400 ppm in the leaf disk test. Generally neo-clerodane diterpenes posses insect antifeedant activity and they are used as antifungal, antitumor and antibacterial agents [56,63]. The antitumor activity of T. bicolor [52] was reported. The antifeedant activity of neoclerodanes is mentioned in a... [Pg.642]

Tea Cold 1 ounce (25 g) of herb in 1 quart (11) boiling water, let steep overnight, strain and drink throughout day. The cold infusion is for the mucous membrane system and is a liver tonic.

Documented effects Used as an antipyretic, as a diuretic for treatment of urogenital diseases, and as a diaphoretic and antiinflammatory (Kurochkin 1998). A bath infused with the herb is used to treat diathesis in children. An infusion of the herb is drank to induce sweating and to treat common colds (Grinkevitch 1991). Although the content of flavonoids in the flower heads was found to be half of that found in the herb, an extract from flowers had nearly 2 times higher antioxidant activity (Wolniak et al. 2007). [Pg.58]

Documented effects It is an effective remedy to treat hypertension, atherosclerosis, kidney, liver, and epilepsy (Kovaleva 1971). It is a sedative for excitement of the central nervous system (Turova 1974). A decoction of the dried leaves and flowers is used to treat intestinal atonia and as an expectorant. The plant is a component of a diaphoretic tea and is added to baths. The leaves are used as a spice and in hquor production (Tsitsina 1962). The essential oil has shown antimicrobial, hypocholesteremic, and hypolipidemic activity (Nurahev and Zubaidova 1994 Takeda et al. 2008). [Pg.180]

Documented effects Mature fruits are used as a bactericide, anti-inflammatory, to normalize intestine and stomach function, as a source of vitamins, and as a tonic. The bark is used as a diaphoretic, antipyretic, and diuretic. Leaves are used to treat diarrhea and as a source of vitamins. Flowers are used as an anti-inflammatory. Preparations from this species are counter-indicated during pregnancy (Maznev 2004). An extract of the seeds had antibacterial activity against 5 different species, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and had strong anti-oxidant activity (Kumarasamy et al. 2002, 2007). [Pg.183]

Reported to have diaphoretic, demulcent, and febrifuge activity (wren). The charcoal-decolorized extract (deertongue incolore) has been reported to be nonirritating, nonsensitizing, nonphototoxic, and nonphotoallergenic when applied to the skin of animals and/or humans. ... [Pg.241]
