The tincture of Pilocarpus jaborandi (commonly known simply as "Jaborandi") is a herbal preparation made from the leaves of the Pilocarpus plant, which is rich in pilocarpine, an active alkaloid with strong effects on the nervous and endocrine systems. It is traditionally used in phytotherapy to induce sweating and enhance the flow of bodily fluids, such as saliva and tears.
Tincture Composition
The tincture contains a variety of active constituents, mainly:
- Pilocarpine: The main alkaloid, known for its strong actions on the glands and the nervous system.
- Volatile oils: Contribute to the plant’s anti-inflammatory and antiseptic action.
- Flavonoids: Act as antioxidants and anti-inflammatories.
Pharmacological Actions and Properties
Pilocarpine in Jaborandi tincture has strong pharmacological properties:
- Reducing effect on intraocular pressure: Acts on the muscles of the iris, causing miosis (pupil constriction) and supports optimal intraocular pressure.
- Diaphoretic action: Causes intense sweating, useful for eliminating toxins through the skin.
- Stimulant action on exocrine glands: Increases the production of saliva and tears, useful in cases of dry mouth and dry eyes.
- Stimulation of the parasympathetic system: Causes bradycardia (reduced heart rate) and increased production of bodily fluids.
Indications for Use
The tincture of Pilocarpus jaborandi is traditionally used for:
- Reduction of intraocular pressure: Mainly in cases of glaucoma, under medical supervision.
- Management of dry mouth and dry eyes: Useful for people with reduced saliva or tear production.
- Stimulation of sweating: In cases where detoxification through the skin is required or to help reduce fever.
How to Use
5–10 drops, diluted in a little water or herbal infusion, 1–2 times a day.
Precautions and Side Effects
-
Precautions:
- Use should be avoided by people with cardiac problems, asthma, or epilepsy, as pilocarpine may cause intense reactions.
- Do not use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- Caution is required when used concurrently with medicines that affect the parasympathetic system or cardiac function.
-
Possible Side Effects:
- Increased sweating, nausea, diarrhea, and salivation due to the stimulating effect of pilocarpine on the glands.
- Reduction of blood pressure and bradycardia, which may cause dizziness or weakness.
Use of the Pilocarpus jaborandi tincture must be carried out with particular care and under the guidance of a specialist in phytotherapy or a physician, as pilocarpine is a potent constituent that can cause serious adverse effects if not used correctly.
