Abstract
Thirty two medicinal plants used popularly for their proposed diuretic and/or antihypertensive properties have been tested for antihypertensive effects in conscious unrestrained rats. All extractions were made in aqueous ethanol (50:50 by vol.) at low temperature. Before administration of the extracts the alcohol was evaporated. The extracts (40 ml/kg) were always administered per os. Antihypertensive effects in SHR rats were observed after the administration of Allium sativum Linn. (bulb), Olea europaea Linn. (leaf) and Hedychium coronarium Koen. (leaf-blade).Entities:
