Damiana Constituents Day 2

The picture above is from my school lesson.

Been a long day already!  I have the second load of laundry in the drier and both kids are sleeping so I'm going to leave this at the stuff below so I can take advantage of the free time to work on the house. Love and Light!

On to the constituents of damiana!

Saccharides are sugars and carbohydrates. (Hoffman, 2003, p. 41).

Arbutin has diuretic, antitussive, and urinary antimicrobial properties. Ganora says this is metabolized to become hydroquinone which is a urinary antiseptic (Hoffman, 2003, p. 48, 92; Ganora, 2009, p. 65).

Hydroquinones are urinary antiseptics. Hoffman adds for this to be created in the body, it must have an alkaline environment. It is also antibacterial, antitumor, antimitotic, and hypertensive (Hoffman, 2003, p. 93; Ganora, 2009, p. 65).

I'll try to define these (below) tomorrow.

hexacosanal
5-hydroxy-7,3,4-trimethoxyflavone
hydroquinone glycosides
luteolin 8-C-E-propenoic acid
tetraphyllin B
terpenoids
cryophylene
cadinene

Have a Great Day!
