Pix pini liquida. Pinaceae Pinus sylvestris

Phenolic compounds - phenol, guaiacol, cresols and other decomposition products of lignin.

Revulsive, keratolytic, chronic and subacute eczema, dermatitis, seborrhea, dandruff and psoriasis, antiseptic.

Uvae-ursi folium. Ericaceae Arctostaphylos uvae-ursi

Minimum 7% arbutin (HPLC), methylarbutin, flavonoids up to 2%, gallotannins up to 25%, ursolic acid.

Antiseptic to the excretory system, diuretic (flavonoids); antidiarrheal (tannins)

Vitis idaeae folium. Ericaceae Vaccinium vitis idaea

About 4-6% arbutin, flavonoids, catechinic tannins

Antiseptic to the excretory system, diuretic; antidiarrheal (tannins). Better tolerance via oral administration, since the tannins are of catechin type

Bergeniae folium. Saxifragaceae Bergenia crassifolia

10-15 %  arbutin, rich of gallotannins

Antiseptic to the excretory system, diuretic; antidiarrheal.

Cannabaceae Cannabis indica, sativa

Cannabinoids: Cannabidiol (CBD), Δ 9,10-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), Cannabinol (CBN).

Their structure consist of a phenol-resorcinol ring, cyclic monoterpen, and prenyl radical (C₅). Other compounds ‑ terpenes, alkaloids, flavonoids, resins

Anxiety, stress, depression, inflammation

Lupuli flos, glanduli lupuli. Cannabaceae Humulus lupulus

Phloroglucinols - humulone and lupulone, essential oil 1-3%, resins.

Characterizedby the content of extractive compounds (over 25% with 70% ethanol).

Sedative, diuretic, antibiotic, estrogenic. Bitter taste-improving appetite; in the production of beer

Hyperici herba. Hypericaceae Hypericum perforatum

phloroglucinol - hyperforin and adhyperforin (antibiotic and antidepressant).

naphthodianthrones - hypericin, pseudohypericin (photosensitisation and anti-depressant).

flavonoids - epigallocatechin, rutin, hyperoside, quercetin, kaempferol (improve endothelial and capillary function),

tannins - (antidiarrheal, improve endothelial and capillary function);   

Filicis-maris rhizoma. Aspidiaceae Dryopteris filix-mas

Phloroglucinol derivatives

Anthelmintic (antiparasitic) to expel tapeworms

Kamala. Euphorbiaceae Mallotus philippinensis

Phloroglucinol derivatives.

Antihelminthic, tapeworms

Koso flos. Rosaceae Hagenia abyssinica

Phloroglucinol derivatives (filixic acid, rottlerin kosins)

Anthelmintic for pork tapeworm (Taenia solium). In its anthelmintic action it is similar to Male Fern (Dryopteris filix-mas). Unstable, at higher doses toxic, no longer used.
