DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY FILED IN SUPPORT OF A PATENT INVENTION APPLICATION IN THE GRAND DUCHY OF LUXEMBOURG

by; CAMPANA Francine for; Food supplement composition for naturotherapy v <► >>

The present invention relates to a new drug composition, all of whose activities can be expressed ‘by the expression" psycho-somatic balancing ".

This composition in fact exercises the following 5 main activities: -rejection of overloads of all kinds, namely diuresis, intestinal functions, functioning of the sweat and sebaceous glands; - assimilation of vitamins and trace elements, 10 “transfer of morbid mental states (aggressiveness, depressiveness) into normal states without side effects or reversed.

This complex set of actions results in an overall feeling of balance and well-being that no individual drug can achieve.

This object is achieved thanks to the presence, in this composition, of a determined proportion of ash leaves in the pulverulent state.

The ash whose leaves are thus used is 2o preferably that of the genus Fraxinus excelsior L., which grows widely in the Mediterranean regions, and which has been recognized since Antiquity for its virtues, widely applied in traditional folk medicines. Thus the ash leaf herbal teas were considered to be a youthful drink for arthritis sufferers and gouty people.

Other ash species can be used depending on the region, for example the Fraxinus Orna and the manna ash.

However, such herbal teas represented only aqueous extracts containing only a portion of the useful active constituents, namely that which is soluble in hot water, the others having never been used to date, or even entirely identified. In fact, the known analyzes concerning the presence in the leaves of ash of various chemical compounds are * all very old and rather vague. Only a few authors from the end of the 19th century were able to recognize in these leaves, alongside such minerals, sugars such as inositol, mannitol, dextrose and quercitroside, as well as malic acid, gums tannic acid, terpene oils, diastases and unidentified organic substances. It can rightly be considered that only the sugars were actually extracted and represented "herbal tea", while the gums, terpenes and other organic components were always discarded with the mineral residues.

It is these organic components which give the compositions according to the invention all their originality.

The invention therefore consists in using as main active principle in a medicinal composition with a psycho-somatic balancing action, ash leaves of the variety Fraxinus Excelsior in the pulverized state and without any prior purification or extraction treatment.

The compositions according to the invention also contain a certain number of constituents of secondary nature, namely metal salts, and in particular sodium chloride, potassium neutral tartrate, magnesium stearate x5 and sodium bicarbonate, useful in the balancing action of the composition by the contribution of the tartrate and stearate anions on its mechanism of action.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the compositions according to the invention can contain: 20 leaves of Fraxinus excelsior L. pulverized 2.5-3.5

Magnesium chloride 3.0-4.0

Neutral potassium tartrate 3.0-4.0

Magnesium stearate 2.0-3.0

Borax officinal neutral 15.0-20.0 25 Sodium bicarbonate supplement to 100.

Such compositions, administered in the form of tablets, exert on the organism the beneficial actions recalled above, by determining at the same time in the subject a marked improvement in the psyche by the disappearance of the states of "stress", resulting in subjects, by pathological depression or aggression. This disappearance is not accompanied by unfortunate side effects, nor by a reversal of symptoms, which is the frequent drawback of drugs of this kind.

35 We can, moreover, with a certain likelihood, compare these results, obtained under scientific medical supervision, with the legendary virtues attributed to ash in mythological Antiquity, notably Greek.

The indications for the compositions according to the invention are therefore of a double and complementary nature: 3 - on the one hand for treatments having the objective of rejecting overloads, by improving the natural functions, including all the glandular functions, and by improvement and assimilation of vitamins and trace elements.

5 - on the other hand for the treatments of transfer of the morbid psychic states, of the type aggressiveness, depressiveness, in order to create in the subject a global feeling of balance and well being.

It should be objectively noted that the treatment of certain patients with these compositions can cause temporary phenomena of very odorous secretions (perspiration, urine) or even fatty waste in the form of pimples on the face or the back.

These secretions are easily removed, for example by a bath with nettle root.

Although rather unpleasant, these phenomena illustrate the very high level of activity of the compositions according to the invention and, since the "tea of youth" extracted from ash of popular medicine does not trigger them, they also illustrate the difference of nature, action and effects of the compositions according to the invention with respect to this "tea of youth".

Pharmaceutical sugars, such as lactose, glycocolle and the like, as well as powdery neutral flavors, especially freeze-dried fruits, can be added to these compositions.

These compositions can thus be assimilated to food supplements used in naturopathy and naturotherapy.
