MICROTEA TEA (infusion MICROTEA DEBILIS) from AMAZON HERBS® |
OverviewMicrotea debilis is a small annual weed, sometimes shrubby at the base; it is from Suriname, the whole weed is applied in the tincture. It is very effective against Proteinuria and acute renal failure. Constituents Flavone Glycosides* (such as Cirsimarin, Cirsimaritin). * Glycosides with potential antimutagenicity and antioxidant activity. Pharmacology The use of this plant against "proteinuria" in traditional medicine in Suriname may be explained by the adenosine A1 antagonistic action of cirsimarin. Cirsimarin inhibits phosphodiesterase, the enzyme that modulates cyclic nucleotide signaling. Cirsimarin exerts strong lipolytic properties being 20 times more potent than caffeine to stimulate lipolysis** in fat cells, at least in part through cyclic nucleotide preservation. ** The breakdown of fat stored in the fat cells. During this process, triglycerides are broken down into glycerol and fatty acids. When released in the blood, the fatty acids are transported to tissues that require energy. Applications Against acute kidney failure (acute renal failure). Working against Proteinuria (appearance of protein in the urine). This should normally not appear in the urine in detectable quantities. It is usually kept in the blood by the filtering units within the kidney. Proteinuria is an indicator that the kidneys are damaged in some way. Diseases that affect the filtering units themselves are the most common cause of heavy proteinuria. High levels of proteinuria are always important, however when that is small in amount and comes and goes; it is not that significant. Foamy urine and swelling (edema) are two signs of proteinuria that become more evident as the disease progresses. Excess protein can cause the urine to foam in water. In formula for weight loss, fat burners and body building supplements; some companies are substituting caffeine with Microtea debilis. Microtea gives a highly energized feeling to people who use it. Dosage Tincture: 0.5 - 4 ml (0.5 - 4 full droppers) daily. Infusion: 1 - 4 cups daily. Precaution Reference Cirsimarin and cirsimaritin, flavonoids of Microtea debilis (Phytolaccaceae) with adenosine antagonistic properties in rats: leads for new therapeutics in acute renal failure.
