The composition and therapeutic properties of hellebore

The roots and rhizomes of hellebore contain cardiac glycosides, Korelborin K and Korelborin P, indicated for use in circulatory disorders of grade II - III.. These cardiac glycosides are characterized by rapid exposure and the ability to retain biological activity after being injected into the body for a long time. They reduce the heart rate, increase the excitability of the cardiac conduction systems, lower the venous and stabilize blood pressure, improve trophic nutrition and myocardial oxygen saturation, which allows the plant to be used to treat heart failure, angina, arrhythmias and hypertension.

In addition, the plant contains steroid saponins that improve the secretory function of bronchial glands, enhance the synthesis of corticosteroid hormones, irritate cough centers in the brain and reduce inflammation, and this allows the use of hellebore for treatment of bronchitis, pneumonia, bronchial asthma. The fatty oils that make up the plant have a positive effect on the condition of the skin. They increase the regenerative capacity of the cells of the body and reduce inflammation, which allows the use of hellebore in the treatment of non-healing wounds. In addition, they protect the human body from the negative effects of carcinogenic substances.

As part of the hellebore, there are alkaloids that help to improve blood circulation, reduce the severity of pain and have a stimulating effect in small doses, and in large doses - a depressant effect on the central nervous system of a person.
