Forskolin
causes bronchodilation, decreases
airway resistance, increases
vital capacity and forced expiratory
volume. These are important
indicators of pulmonary function.
Anti-spasmodic action
relieves intestinal colic, uterine
cramps, painful urination, angina,
and hypertension. |
|
|
|
| Lowers
blood pressure while increasing
the contractility of the heart.
It also increases cerebral blood
flow and inhibits platelet aggregation. |
|
Glaucoma
(An eye condition in which
the fluid pressure inside
the eyes rises because of
slowed fluid drainage from
the eye).
Increased
Intraocular Pressure |
|
Results
in decrease in intraocular pressure.

Skin
Heath
Psoriasis (A reddish, scaly rash
often located over the surfaces
of the elbows, knees, scalp,
and around or in the ears,
navel, genitals or buttocks). |
|
| Normalises
cAMP /cGMP ratio and alleviates
psoriasis. Psoriasis results
from an imbalance caused by
a decrease in cAMP in relation
to cyclic guanine monophosphate
(cGMP), another second messenger.
This imbalance results in a
huge increase in cell division
(in psoriasis, cells divide
about 1,000 times faster than
normal). |
|
|
| Increasing
cAMP and inhibiting phosphodiesterase
have been found to be beneficial
in treating depression. |
|
|
|
Stimulates
lipolysis (breaking down of
fats) in fat cells. |
|
| Hypothyroidism (Deficiency
of thyroid hormone which is
normally made by the thyroid
gland located in the front of
the neck). |
|
| Increases
thyroid hormone production and
stimulates thyroid hormone release.
This promotes normal body weight
and contributes to its antidepressant
effects. |
|
|
|
| Inhibits
platelet aggregation and tumor
colonization and could be effective
in prevention of tumor metastases. |
|
|
| Has
potent immune system enhancement
by activating macrophages and
lymphocytes. |
