Pharmacological properties
The drug Gastritol by Dr. Klein contains active substances that cause both a local effect in the gastrointestinal tract and have a central effect on the secretory and motor functions of the stomach.
Potentilla anserinaum (cinquefoil) 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, and also reduces the tone and motility of the gastrointestinal tract (antispasmodic effect). Increases vascularization of the gastric mucosa.
Matricariae (officinalis chamomile) has anti-inflammatory, antiallergic and regenerative effects. Chamazulene penetrates quickly and deeply into the mucous membrane. Activation of the pituitary-adrenal system leads to 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 knicin, which, just like the bitter substances contained in Angelica officinalis (angelica), improves blood supply to the gastrointestinal tract, thereby accelerating the healing of ulcers and lesions of the gastric mucosa.
The bitter substance Artemisia absinthium (wormwood) increases tone during gastrostasis (cascading 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.
