Passion Flower (Passiflora incarnata L.)--a reliable herbal sedative
Wien Med Wochenschr. 2002;152(15-16):404-6. Krenn L.
Extracts and fluid extracts from the aerial parts from Passiflora incarnata L. are widely used as components of herbal sedatives. Many pharmacological investigations confirm the sedative effects of Passiflorae herba. From some of the studies also anxiolytic effects can be deduced. As Passionflower is mainly used in combinations, clinical studies of the single drug are not available. Based on pharmacological data, the experiences of traditional use and the use in combinations Passiflora extracts are an important factor in the phytotherapy of tenseness, restlessness and irritability with difficulty in falling asleep.
An investigation into the efficacy of Scutellaria lateriflora in healthy volunteers.
Altern Ther Health Med. 2003 Mar-Apr;9(2):74-8. Wolfson P, Hoffmann DL.
Scutellaria lateriflora is an herbal medicine with long-standing traditional use as a relaxing nervine. There has been controversy in the literature with regards to its efficacy, and this study was designed to clarify its effectiveness in reducing anxiety, one of the phytotherapeutic indications. A double blind, placebo-controlled study of healthy subjects demonstrated noteworthy anxiolytic effects. The use of phytomedicines for the treatment of anxiety is reviewed, as is the published literature on S. lateriflora and its putative toxicity.
Phytochemical and biological analysis of skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora L.): a medicinal plant with anxiolytic properties.
Phytomedicine. 2003 Nov;10(8):640-9. Awad R, Arnason JT, Trudeau V, Bergeron C, Budzinski JW, Foster BC, Merali Z.
The phytochemistry and biological activity of Scutellaria lateriflora L. (American skullcap) which has been traditionally used as a sedative and to treat various nervous disorders such as anxiety was studied. In vivo animal behaviour trials were performed to test anxiolytic effects in rats orally administered S. laterifolia extracts. Significant increases in the number of entries into the center of an "open-field arena"; number of unprotected head dips, number of entries and the length of time spent on the open arms of the Elevated Plus-Maze were found. The identification and quantification of the flavonoid, baicalin in a 50% EtOH extract (40 mg/g) and its aglycone baicalein in a 95% EtOH extract (33 mg/g), as well as the amino acids GABA in H2O and EtOH extracts (approximately 1.6 mg/g) and glutamine in a H2O extract (31 mg/g), was performed using HPLC. These compounds may play a role in anxiolytic activity since baicalin and baicalein are known to bind to the benzodiazepine site of the GABA receptor and since GABA is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter.
Clinical thinking and decision making in practice. A young woman with muscle cramps.
Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd. 2001 Apr 28;145(17):818-21.Stevens M, Deinum J, Willems MH.
A 23-year-old woman with a history of episodic stiffening of the limbs since her early adolescence, reported attacks of muscle contraction accompanied by feelings of panic but without loss of consciousness. Epileptic seizures, e.g. progressive myoclonic epilepsy, metabolic encephalopathy, dystonia and tetany were suggested. During the examination, muscle contraction could be provoked whilst measuring the blood pressure. Tetany based on primary hypoparathyroidism was diagnosed from the medical history as well as the neurological examination. This was confirmed by laboratory tests. She was successfully treated with calcium and I-alpha-(OH)2 vitamin D3.
