Pharmacological properties
The drug Gastritol by Klein contains active substances that cause both a local effect in the gastrointestinal tract and a central effect on the secretory and motor functions of the stomach.
Potentilla anserinaum (goose foxglove) has an antispasmodic effect on the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract.
Liquiritae radix (licorice root) contains glycyrrhizic acid, which has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect and stimulates the formation of granulation tissue, as well as reduces the tone and motility of the gastrointestinal tract (spasmodic effect). Increases vascularization of the gastric mucosa.
Matricariae (chamomile) has anti-inflammatory, antiallergic and regenerating effects. Chamazulene quickly and deeply penetrates the mucous membrane. Activation of the pituitary-adrenal system leads to an increased release of corticotropin and cortisone. β-farnesene and α-bisabolol also have anti-inflammatory and antiallergic effects.
Cnicus benedictus (cardobenedict) contains the bitter glycoside cnicine, which, like the bitter substances contained in Angelica officinalis (angelica), improves blood supply to the organs of the gastrointestinal tract, thereby accelerating the healing of ulcers and lesions of the gastric mucosa.
The bitter substance Artemisia absinthium (wormwood) increases tone in gastrostasis (cascade stomach) and reduces the severity of symptoms of gastrocardial syndrome.
Hypericum perforatum (St. John’s wort) affects the most important ulcerogenic factor, that is, psychovegetative disorders. Hypericum perforatum has an anticholinergic effect, and also reduces the secretion of gastric juice.
