Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 • Salvia is classified as a blood invigorating herb in Traditional . It was thought by ancient Chinese physicians to make sluggish blood flow more freely. A number of other herbs are in this class and they have some general properties in common. Numerous animal and in vitro studies have shown Salvia to have widespread receptor modulating effects, affecting calcium channels, dopamine, adrenergic, angiotensin II, benzodiazepine, endorphin and others. Human and animal studies demonstrate vasodilation, protection of cardiac muscles from anoxia, increased blood flow, reduced platelet aggregation and thrombus formation. Salvia reduces vascular permeability and increases phagocytosis. It speeds healing time in fractures and other traumas.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 This seems to raise some interesting questions that may be useful to consider in patients unresponsive to TCM. Migraine Cause Uncovered April 23, 2001 (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- New research out of England may have found the cause of some severe migraine headaches. The findings, reported in New Scientist, say the problem may be related to holes in the heart. More than 25 percent of all people have an opening in the wall of the heart that separates the upper chambers of the heart. The hole typically closes as soon as a baby takes his first breath, but in some individuals, it has been found to not close completely. With holes remaining, small amounts of blood are able to travel through the veins without going to the lungs. This is important because any clots or air bubbles that may be there are generally filtered out by the lungs, and by not traveling through there, these clots remain to travel throughout the body, increasing a person's risk for stroke. In addition, researchers say the lungs also filter out chemicals that can cause blood vessels to expand and contract. This, they say, may be behind severe migraines.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 Does anybody know if Salvia divinorum has any relation to our Dan Shen (Rx. Salviae Multiorrhizae) in action and function? Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2001 Report Share Posted July 20, 2001 I wouldn't think so, other than they are both Salvias (a very big group in the Labitaea family). Salvia divinorum would have a psychogenic effect. --- cherst wrote: > Does anybody know if Salvia divinorum has any > relation to our Dan > Shen (Rx.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2001 Report Share Posted July 20, 2001 Hey Chad, Salvia divinorum is a very interesting plant. The local Mexican curanderas that use this plant for its divinatory properties claim that this plant was delivered to them from the people of the stars. Indeed, it is a true cultigen in that there are self propogating abilities in the plant. It only exists due to human intervention. These curanderas also say that the plots of land that are used to grow this plant are as far away from human dwellings as possible because they are literaly scared of this plant and the " spirit that lives in it " . As far as I know, they don't use the plant medicinally except for its psychoactive properties. The intoxication experienced by this plant is very fickle. Sometimes nothing at all, sometimes transdimensional, and usually uncomfortable. Many of the curanderas stay far away from the stuff.
