Description

The invention relates to the chemical-pharmaceutical industry and can be used for the prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus and as an adjuvant in the treatment of the disease.

A well-known herbal collection for the treatment of diabetes is "Lydia 1, 2, 3." There are three variations of the collection, each containing the following composition. Lydia 1 contains, g: plantain 35, burdock root 500, kelp 600, corn silk 400, St. John's wort 100, hawthorn 1500, motherwort 1000, immortelle 2000, rose hips 1000, chicory 500, oregano 100. Collection Lydia 2 contains, g: plantain 350, corn silk 40, St. John's wort 50, motherwort 500, immortelle 100, rose hips 50, chicory 300, peppermint 500, black elder flowers 500, flax seed 100, nettle 50. Collection Lydia 3 contains, g: plantain 35, burdock root 500, kelp 100, St. John's wort 30, hawthorn 50, motherwort 100, chicory 50, oregano 200, peppermint 100, flax seed 100, nettle 150, blueberry leaf 50, bay leaf 50, kidney tea 500 (Patent of the Russian Federation No. 2000802, IPC A61K 35/78, published 1993).

The disadvantage of these collection options is that their recipes use a large number of ingredients, as well as kelp, which complicates the production process, since this raw material does not grow in the central part of the Russian Federation.

The technical challenge is to simplify production by introducing accessible raw materials grown in the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation and to enhance the effectiveness of herbal compositions.

The technical objective is achieved by the fact that the herbal collection for improving metabolic processes, containing chamomile flowers and rose hips, additionally contains flax seeds, chicory root, common bean pods and the above-ground part of knotweed in the following ratio of components, mass %:

chamomile flowers 9.1 rose hips 13.6 flax seeds 9.1 chicory root 36.4 common bean pods 18.2 aerial parts of knotweed 13.6

A herbal collection for improving metabolic processes, containing chamomile flowers and rose hips, additionally contains St. John's wort, common bean pods, the aerial part of knotweed, dandelion root and lingonberry leaf in the following ratio of components, mass %:

chamomile flowers 11.8 rose hips 17.5 St. John's wort 11.8 bean pods 23.5 aerial parts of knotweed 11.8 dandelion root 11.8 lingonberry leaf 11.8

The technical result is a simplification of production due to the introduction of accessible raw materials grown in the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation, and an enhancement of the action of herbal compositions by changing the formulation and introducing additional plant materials that have a pronounced synergistic effect when used together with already known medicinal plants.

This herbal infusion is recommended for use in the prevention of type 2 diabetes and as an adjunct in the treatment of the disease.

Chamomile flowers contain polysaccharides, coumarins, flavonoids, choline, β-carotene, ascorbic acid, isovaleric and other organic acids.

Raw rose hips contain 3000 mg% ascorbic acid, which is maximally preserved during processing and storage due to the absence of the ascorbic acid oxidase enzyme. Rose hips have a tonic and strengthening effect on the body.

Common bean pods have a pronounced hypoglycemic effect and contain a purified total complex of phenolic compounds, hemicellulose, replaceable and essential amino acids.

Knotweed herb has versatile pharmacological properties. It also promotes insulin synthesis and optimizes its action at the tissue level, as it contains zinc, which stimulates insulin synthesis and activates the immune system. It also has a diuretic effect, which helps normalize water-salt metabolism.

Flaxseeds have a low glycemic index due to their high fiber content. Of the vitamins found in flaxseeds, vitamin _B6 provides the highest daily requirement. The magnesium content in 100 g of flaxseeds completely meets the daily requirement for this micronutrient.

Chicory root contains inulin, a substance that has a positive effect on the body in cases of high blood sugar.

St. John's wort has a hypoglycemic effect, which enhances its bactericidal activity. It contains saponins, flavonoids (hyperoside, rutin, quercetin), β-carotene, essential oil, coloring and tanning agents, resins, nicotinic and ascorbic acids, vitamins P and PP, choline, anthocyanins, saponins, alcohols, etc.

Dandelion root contains several substances and their groups that have a sugar-lowering effect: sesquiterpene lactones (bitters), inulin, bioflavonoids, chicoric acid, chlorogenic acid, triterpene compounds, calcium.

The beneficial properties of lingonberry leaves are due to the presence of arbutin, a substance with antiseptic properties. The leaves also contain copper, tannins, antioxidants, flavonoids, tannins, and organic acids.

Herbal infusions are prepared as follows.

The raw materials are washed, sorted by quality (that is, poor-quality ones are rejected), foreign impurities are removed, rinsed, crushed, dried, mixed in specified proportions, packaged, packed into consumer containers and labeled.

Example 1. Herbal collection No. 1 contains chamomile flowers and rose hips, flax seeds, chicory root, common bean pods and the aerial part of knotweed in the following ratio of components, mass %:

chamomile flowers 9.1 rose hips 13.6 flax seeds 9.1 chicory root 36.4 common bean pods 18.2 aerial parts of knotweed 13.6

Example 2. Herbal collection No. 2 contains chamomile flowers and rose hips, St. John's wort, common bean pods, the aerial parts of knotweed, dandelion root and lingonberry leaf in the following ratio of components, mass %:

chamomile flowers 11.8 rose hips 17.5 St. John's wort 11.8 common bean pods 23.5 aerial parts of knotweed 11.8 dandelion root 11.8 lingonberry leaf 11.8

The proposed ratio of medicinal plants included in the collection was selected empirically and represents the most appropriate quantitative combination of components.

The table presents information on the content of the sum of phenolic compounds (dietary phytochemicals) that can act as antioxidants in the body, calculated as gallic acid, in herbal compositions.

The expected result is achieved by the necessary chemical composition of the raw materials used, as well as by the balanced component content of the collections.

The collection is consumed by brewing an infusion in the proportion of 200 ml of water per 2 g of collection at a temperature of 90°C.

The spectrum of action of the infusions is wide: diuretic, choleretic, sedative, hypoglycemic, and tonic.
