Indications

Cerebral insufficiency, Stroke, Loss of speech, Unconsciousness, Paralysis, Urinary retention due to cerebral vascular diseases, Nervous debility and Dementia.

Pharmacology

This is a safe and effective indigenous drug prepared from the scientifically drawn extract of Areca catechu.

One hundred patients of cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) with various disabilities were studied to see the effects of Areca Catechu. Fifty patients (interventions) were given Areca Catechu and fifty other patients (control)
were treated with the conventional vasodilators. The male-female ratio was 4:1. As usual physiotherapy was given to both group of patients. The result of the treatment showed that unconscious patients regained consciousness and the dysphasic patients started speaking much earlier than those of the control group. The improvement in the activity of daily living and recovery of micturition control were earlier. The Areca Catechu was also useful in patients with chronic CVD due to atherosclerosis.

The probable mode of action of Areca catechu on CVD patients may be presumed as follows : by improving circulation of the brain, by direct stimulating of the brain cell, by improving metabolism and nutrition of the brain cells, by the combination of the above mechanisms. Arecoline and other alkaloids in the Areca Catechu which are known as parasympathomimetic agents might have improved circulation of the brain by dilating cerebral blood vessels, thereby increasing blood flow. Areca Catechu contains many essential amino acids and other essential nutrients or some unidentified factors which may improve the metabolism of the brain. This may also be due to direct stimulation of the brain by the alkaloids present in Areca Catechu.
