The present invention, comprised of the crude aqueous extract of Dioscorea hispida, an indigenous plant from the Philippines, has been shown to have sedative, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects. The sedative effect is comparable to sodium barbiturate, a potent sedative and anaesthetic, with D. hispida having a faster onset of lethargy. Moreover, significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects are comparable to indomethacin and aspirin. As such, this technology may be applied for general or localized anaesthesia, sleeping pills, pain killers, and modulation of inflammation. |
