EFFECTIVENESS AND SAFETY OF PHYTOTHERAPY OF THE MEDICINAL PLANT - PAPAVER SOMNIFERUM L .)

Аннотация

Opium poppy, an annual herbaceous plant, is widely cultivated in southern Central Asia. Its petals contain 0.05% alkaloids and fatty acids. The greatest interest in studying this plant lies in its effects on the nervous system, exhibiting a sedative effect, as well as less pronounced hypnotic and analgesic properties. It is widely known for its hemostatic effect. An infusion made from the petals of the opium poppy is highly valued for its cough suppressant effect. Given its well known beneficial pharmacological effects, the potential for adverse effects of the opium poppy cannot be ruled out.
