Tincture

Overview
Nelumbo nucifera tincture
All parts of the Lotus (Sacred Lotus) are used medicinally; however we use only the flowers (petals) and leaves in the herbal tincture and medicinal tea applications
Sacred Lotus is an aquatic perennial, originally from Indonesia and India.
This plant is also growing abundantly in Suriname.
The plant has hepatoprotective effects (prevents damage to the liver), due to its potent antioxidative properties.


Constituents

The phytochemicals: alkaloids (benzylisoquinoline, bisbenzylisoquinoline, liensinine, negferine, isoliensinine, aporphine, nuciferine), flavonoids, quercetin, isoquercitrin, catechin and leukodelphinidin. Flavenol (miquelianin).


Pharmacology

Nelumbo nucifera
Findings suggest that Lotus leaf extract and its active constituent catechin are useful in the control of hyperglycemia in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus through their action as insulin secretagogues (substance that promotes secretion). Catechin significantly and dose-dependently enhanced insulin secretion.
The plant has a traditional history in the treatment of cancer; research has isolated certain compounds from the plant that show anticancer and anti HIV activity.
