Description
Scientific research has allowed us to better understand Boldo Leaf's mechanism of action. It contains boldine which stimulates secretion and elimination of bile, allowing a better food digestion. Boldo has a long history of use as a liver tonic and in the treatment of gallstones by the indigenous people of Chile. Boldo contains several types of primary constituents, including volatile oils (e.g., ascaridole, eucalyptol), flavonoids, and alkaloids. Boldine, which constitutes about one-fourth of the total number of alkaloids present, is said to be the major alkaloid. Scientists believe that boldine is responsible for the plant's choloretic (bile stimulating) and diuretic actions. In conjunction with other herbs, such as cascara, rhubarb, and gentian, boldo has been reported to improve symptoms related to loss of appetite. Ascaridole, a compound found in the essential oil of the plant, has been used as an anti-parasitic agent but has long fallen out of favor, as other compounds have lower toxicity levels. Boldo has also been shown to be effective for liver problems, heartburn and as a sedative.
Boldo is an evergreen shrub or small tree that is native to Chile and is naturalized to the Mediterranean region of Europe. The leaves are used medicinally.
