General Description

Rauwolfia serpentina, ext. is an herbal extract derived from the root of the Rauwolfia serpentina plant, also known as Indian snakeroot. The extract contains a group of chemical compounds called alkaloids, including reserpine, ajmaline, and serpentine, which have been studied for their potential medicinal properties. In traditional Ayurvedic and Unani medicine, Rauwolfia serpentina has been used to treat a variety of conditions, including high blood pressure, anxiety, and mental disorders. Reserpine, one of the main alkaloids in the extract, has been used as a medication for hypertension and was one of the first drugs to effectively lower blood pressure. Ajmaline has been studied for its antiarrhythmic properties, while serpentine has been investigated for its potential antitumor and antimicrobial effects. However, the use of Rauwolfia serpentina, ext. as a medicinal herb should be approached with caution, as high doses of reserpine can cause side effects such as low blood pressure, nausea, and depression, and the potential benefits and risks should be carefully considered.
