Abstract:
The only extract preparations listed in either the “Shokan-ron” or the “Kinki-yoryaku” are the “Daio-oren-shashin-to.” It is thought that the term “extract preparation” is used because of the speed of efficacy required of these formulas. The author tried three different varieties of these percolate extracts, “Daio, ” “Oren, ” and
“Ogon, ” in a group of hypertensive patients (5 men, 27 women). Blood pressure was measured both 30 minutes before and after administration. As a result, an antihypertensive effect of 10mmHg systolic blood pressure or more was seen across 68.8% of the group. There was even an antihypertensive effect in those not normally considered “Yo-jisshou” (resistant and robust constitution). And with this administration, none of the patients developed diarrhea. Extract preparations seemed to have more of an enhancing effect on sedative action, rather than on purgative action. And they are considered effective as antihypertensive agents in emergency cases of elevated blood pressure.
