| MALAY TINCTURE (tinctura Syzygium malaccense) from AMAZON HERBS® |
Overview
The Malay Apple tree is a fast-growing tree with an erect trunk; originated
in India and Malaysia.For sore throat the inner bark is scraped, or the whole bark can be decocted. In Brazil and Surinam, various parts of the plant are used as remedies for constipation, diabetes, coughs, pulmonary catarrh, headache and other ailments. Seeds, bark and leaves have also shown antibiotic activity and may have effect on blood pressure and respiration. The part of the tree used for tincture is the bark. Constituents Pharmacology An experiment was conducted to study the effect of S. malaccense bark on serum glucose, lipid profile and liver glycogen content in both normal and hyperglycemic rats. The aqueous and alcoholic extracts were compared with glibenclamide for their influence on fasting blood sugar, lipid profile and liver glycogen in both normoglycemic and to streptozotocin induced (50 mg/kg ip) hyperglycemic rats. In normoglycemic rats, the aqueous and alcoholic extracts produced hypoglycemia but did not affect the lipid profile and liver glycogen content even on chronic treatment. In the hyperglycemic rats on chronic treatment both the extracts caused reduction in FBS and significantly reversed the diabetes induced hyperlipidemia and liver glycogen depletion. The alcoholic extract was found to be more active than aqueous and equivalent to that of glibenclamide. The extracts with their beneficial effects on blood sugar and hyperlipidemia associated with diabetes could serve as good adjuvant to other oral hypoglycemic agents.
