Ayurvedic cure for Indolent Ulcers
. The gam-resin exuding from the flowering and fruiting stem is called Ammoniacum B. P. It occurs in tears or masses of a pale yellowish brown colour. It contains a volatile oil, gum, resin, moisture and ash, The volatile oil differs from that of asaftida in that it does not contain sulphur or phosphorus. The resin does not yield umbelliferon; it consists of an acid and
two resins, oue soluble and the other insoluble in ether, but soluble in volatile and 8xed oil. In action Ammoniacum is antispasmodic, diaphoretic, diuretic, emmenagogue, expectorant and stimulant. It is chiefly given as an expectorant in doses of 5 to 15 grains or half to one fluid ounce of the mixture with other expectorants in affections of the chest unassociated with inflammation. Externally Ammoniacum is applied to indolent ulcers. |
