Easy cure to Hyper Tension and blood pressure
The plant has secured an important place as a medicine for insanity, blood-pressure & a whimsical disposition. The great popularity of the drug as an anti-insanity herb is an established proof of its indisputable efficacy as a sedative. Probably the native Indians have been quite familiar with its hypnotic properties since long as the practice of administering the same to babies for inducing sleep is in vogue in many districts there even up to this day. In America, where high blood-pressure cases are common than in any other country in the world, its use has given most encouraging results. Dr. R. W. Wilkens & Dr. W. E. Judson tried serpina tablets, which are prepared from Rauwolfia Serpentina on many patients suffering from blood- pressure & the report of its results has been published in-The New England Journal Of Medicine. The report says that the tablets produce a sedative effect & a restful sleep but in some cases bad dreams are also complained for. The tablets seem to be tolerated well but a stationary effect of the drug is not completely manifested before six weeks. Evidently it does not seem to be habit-forming & can very well be used as an auxiliary to more powerful drugs meant for relieving blood-pressure. No side effects of any serious nature were reported but the experimentalists noted that it depresses the heart-beats & produces congestion of blood in the nasal passage, augments weight & slightly stimulates the intestines.(Reproduced from The Journal of the American Pharmaceutical Association).
