pharmachologic effect

Herbal remedy. It has antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, enveloping and expectorant effects, promotes tissue regeneration and activates gastric secretion.

The antiseptic effect (against staphylococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, hemolytic streptococcus) is due to the presence of phytoncides.

Anti-inflammatory, early and ulcer healing effects are associated with the presence of polysaccharides, pectin and tannins, benzoic and salicylic acids. Polysaccharides activate the formation of interferon, zinc and flavonoids contribute to the normalization of phagocytosis. The acceleration of regeneration is facilitated by the combination of polysaccharides with enzymes and vitamins. These effects are also closely related to the ability of plantain to increase the resistance of cells and tissues to oxygen deficiency. A pronounced antihypoxic effect is provided by organic (especially citric) and phenolcarboxylic (ferulic, caffeic, coumaric) acids, flavonoids (derivatives of luteolin, quercetin, apigenin), vitamin C, copper and zinc. The hemostatic effect is associated with the presence of vitamin K.

Plantain regulates digestion, increases appetite, reduces the tone of smooth muscles of the stomach and intestines, has an anti-inflammatory and regenerating effect in gastritis, gastroduodenitis and other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract of an inflammatory nature. Iridoid glycosides, aucubin, catalpol and bitterness, included in its composition, increase the secretion of gastric juice, increase the acidity of gastric contents.
