Cajuput Materia Medica

$5.00

Cajuput exerts the following therapeutic actions: analgesic; anthelmintic (expels or destroys intestinal worms); antimicrobial; antiseptic; antispasmodic; carminative; diaphoretic (stimulates sweating); expectorant; insecticidal; rubefacient (produces redness of the skin via stimulation of capillary dilation and the drawing of blood to a skin area from deeper tissues); stimulant; tonic. When taken internally it produces a sensation of warmth, stimulates perspiration (sometimes profuse) and increases the fullness and rapidity of
the pulse.

It is commonly used as a stimulating expectorant in chronic bronchitis and laryngitis, as an antiseptic in cystitis and as an anthelmintic for round worms. It is also thought to be able to mimic some of the actions of estrogen and this accounts for its value in relieving dysmenorrhea and menopausal symptoms. Topically it is used to treat lumbago, muscular pain, rheumatism, sciatica, sprains and strains, bruising, wounds and burns.
