… has been recommended by Ayurvedic physicians for the management of various types of respiratory disorders. It possesses potent bronchodilatory, expectorant, anti-spasmodic and anti-septic properties. It also possesses significant antimicrobial activity against gingival inflammation and pyorrhea. It has also shown Uterine stimulant activity, moderate hypotensive activity and thrombopoeitic activity.
…
Recent investigations on vasicine showed bronchodilatory activity comparable to theophylline, which is a methylxanthine drug used in therapy for respiratory diseases such as COPD or asthma.

It's a panacea and great gift of nature: its antiviral properties are used also in herbal remedy for AIDS.

Please, please, please...as you have already been asked...cite your sources!!! You are making unfounded claims with no support and that is simply not how we operate at the Nexus. Anyone can claim anything cures something else, but without actual scientific or empirical data, there is no merit to throwing out random, unfounded statements. You claim your statement about rue is "empiric" and not subjective, yet you failed to cite any empirical evidence...so, where is it?

ABSTRACT: -
The major goal of this research paper is
the action of Unani Anti-HIV drug against
HIV through the observations made under a
controlled condition with the help of superior
facilities. Another, important goal of this paper is
to how this Unani anti-HIV drug has an
edge over the other ART drug presently in use for
The major purpose of the entire effort is to develop
an effective therapy for the HIV patients so that
they can be safeguarded against symptomatic
problems, opportunistic infections, AIDS related
complex and other socio-economic concerns
leading to poor quality life & early death.
At the same time it also aims to evolve the effective
therapy to be very practical, cost effective and
safe. And finally this paper projects a significant
breakthrough in HIV Treatment, observed in the
patients treated with this Unani drug …
The paper focus on the research & development,
finding's & observations of the Unani Anti-HIV
drug HOO-IMM PLUS against HIV/ AIDS and
thus emphasize on the following issues: -

Alterative[46, 169]. The fruit and seed are digestive, diuretic, hallucinogenic, narcotic and uterine stimulant[192, 238]. They are taken internally in the treatment of stomach complaints, urinary and sexual disorders, epilepsy, menstrual problems, mental and nervous illnesses[238]. The seed has also been used as an anthelmintic in order to rid the body of tapeworms[240]. This remedy should be used with caution and preferably under the guidance of a qualified practitioner since excessive doses cause vomiting and hallucinations[238]. The seeds contain the substance 'harmine' which is being used in research into mental disease, encephalitis and inflammation of the brain[192]. Small quantities stimulate the brain and are said to be therapeutic, but in excess harmine depresses the central nervous system[192]. A crude preparation of the seed is more effective than an extract because of the presence of related indoles[192]. Consumption of the seed in quantity induces a sense of euphoria and releases inhibitions. It has been used in the past as a truth drug[169, 187]. The oil obtained from the seed is said to be aphrodisiac[192]. The oil is also said to have galactogogue, ophthalmic, soporific and vermifuge properties[192]. The seed is used externally in the treatment of haemorrhoids and baldness[238]. The whole plant is said to be abortifacient, aphrodisiac, emmenagogue and galactogogue[240]. A decoction of the leaves is used in the treatment of rheumatism[240]. The root has been used as a parasiticide in order to kill body lice[240]. It is also used internally in the treatment of rheumatism and nervous conditions[254].

Other Uses
Oil; Parasiticide; Dye; Incense; Miscellany; Oil.

A red dye is obtained from the seed[46, 61]. It is widely used in Western Asia, especially as a colouring for carpets[192]. The ripe seed contains 3.8 - 5.8% of the alkaloids harmine, harmaline, harmalol and peganine[240]. Ineffective as a contact poison, they are active in vapour form where they are effective against algae, in higher concentrations to water animals and lethal to moulds, bacteria and intestinal parasites[240]. The seed is used as an incense[145].
