Rauwolfia serpentina
is another miracle of my Allah's creations, the root has
anaesthetic, nervine and sedative properties. It has been employed for the
relief of various central nervous system disorders, both psychic and motor,
including anxiety states, insomnia, excitement, sexual aggression, maniacal
behavior associated with psychosis, hypochondriasis, melancholia, schizophrenia,
insanity, insomnia and epilepsy. Extracts of the root are valued for the
treatment of intestinal disorders, particularly diarrhoea and dysentery. It is
also used as an anthelmintic. It contains Reserpine alkaloid which is used for
mild, essential hypertension.
Called as " Choti Chandan
OR ASRAUL" in Urdu, it is a famous Yunani medicine for
Hypertension & extensively used by Hakeems for dropping down the blood
pressure. It has been added to our formula "HT".
Along with Asraul, Hakeems also use
coriander seeds & White Sandalwood for Hypertension, pure Sandalwood is
a beauty but difficult to find & it is very expensive, sold as SR
250/- per kg in Saudi Arabia.
