Plantogen...The Power of Plants
By Elda Argenti, President of Plantogen
FFor centuries plants have been used for their medicinal, cosmetic, and general
well being benefits. More than 400 years ago, some indian tribes
of south America used the bark of the Cinchona tree to reduce fever.
The bark is still used today to make Quinine, a drug used to treat malaria
and other diseases. Another drug, called Digitalis, made from the dried
leaves of the purple Foxglove plant, is used in treating heart disease while
Ephedrine, a common component of modern cough medicines, is derived
from the Ephedra plant. The roots of the Mexican yam are used in
producing cortisone, a drug useful in treating arthritis and a number of other
ailments.
