PHARMACOGNOSTIC RESEARCHES IN MEDICAL TEAS PREPARED FROM HELICHRYSİ FLOS AND URTİCAE FOLIA
Project no. 381 · Status: Kapanmış · 2014
Summary
Quality control studies were carried out on Helichrysi Flos and Urticae Folia drugs, which are known with the names of ölmez çiçek and ısırgan otu respectively, according to European Pharmacopoeia methods. And the amounts of sulphate ash, hydrochloric acid undissolved ash and total amount of ash were determined. It has been determined that the obtained data are in acceptable ranges in Pharmacopoeia. In addition, heavy metal determination analyzes were carried out using herbal teas prepared by infusion of these drogs. Heavy metals contained in dried plant powders and water extracts were examined and compared. According to this, it was determined that many metals which increase the plant productivity and quality are higher in powdered plants. The amount of toxic heavy metals in the herbal teas is also important for consumption of these teas safely. This is a meaningful data we have obtained in the work we have done
