Description
Homaccords are preparations which contain one or several active substances in respective potency chords. Usually a low potency is combined with a medium potency and a higher potency. The background of this potency combination is the nearly 100-year-old therapeutic experience that the simultaneous administration of low, medium, and higher potencies causes a reduction of the initial aggravation. As is known, initial aggravations occur particularly often during the administration of higher potencies given individually. Homaccords are available as attenuations for oral administration. This multipotent form - among other applications - is particularly appropriate for treating chronic illnesses.
General Herb Information
Drosera rotundifolia L.
Family Name: Droseraceae.
Other Names: Sundew; rossolis à feuilles rondes (French); Rundblättriger Sonnentau (German); rosolida, rorella (Italian).
Description: This sundew is a very small perennial rosette with rounded leaf blades on long stalks, characteristically covered in sticky; red, glandular hairs. Small, white flowers are borne at the ends of slender flowering stalks. The glands contain proteolytic enzymes that digest the proteins of small insects that are caught by the sticky hairs, thereby supplementing the nitrogen supply of the plant (it grows in leached, nitrogen-poor soils). Other Drosera species are similar but differ in the size of the flowers and in the size, shape and disposition of the leaves. Since D. rotundifolia has become very rare, the herb is nowadays obtained from D. ramentacea, D. peltata, D. intermedia and various other species.
Origin: Europe (D. rotundifolia), Madagascar and eastern Africa (D. ramentacea) or eastern Asia, from India to Malaysia and China (D. peltata). Drosera is not yet cultivated on a commercial scale but wild-harvesting is unlikely to be sustainable in the long term.
Parts Used: Dried, whole plant, including the above and below-ground parts (Droserae herba).
Therapeutic Category: Antispasmodic, antitussive.
Uses and Properties: The herb is used in phytotherapy to treat whooping cough (especially dry and chesty cough) and is an ingredient of proprietary cough syrups.
Traditional Use: Internally as a spasmolytic and antidyspeptic; externally to treat skin disorders.
Active Ingredients:Drosera contains naphthoquinones, of which ramentaceone and plumbagin are usually the main compounds (in D. rotundifolia and related species, at a level of up to 1% of the dried product). D. ramentacea contains ramentaceone and some plumbagin but in quite low concentrations, while D. peltata has plumbagin and droserone as the main compounds.
Pharmacological Effects: Sundew is anti-inflammatory, spasmolytic and prevents bronchospasms. The naphthoquinones are known to be broncholytic and secretolytic, thus providing relief from a dry cough. Plumbagin is antibiotic at low concentrations and cytotoxic at high concentrations.
Notes: It appears that there is some confusion about the botanical source of product and that the identification of raw material to species level is not always easy.
Status: Traditional medicine; Pharm.; Comm. E+.

"Every disease is a meaningful defensive measure on the part of the body, an attempt to compensate for damage caused by homotoxins. Therefore, supporting the body's antihomotoxic (toxin-eliminating) efforts is the most effective and well-tolerated form of treatment." -Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg, M. D.
