Scilla maritima (also known as “squill” or “sea onion”) is a plant of the Mediterranean region, particularly known for its strong cardiotonic properties. It has been used for centuries in traditional remedies, mainly to support cardiac and respiratory function.
Chemical Composition:
- Glycosides (scillarin, scillaroside): Which act directly on the heart.
- Alkaloids: With actions on the nervous system and blood pressure regulation.
- Essential oils and saponins: Which have expectorant and diuretic properties.
Pharmacological Actions and Properties:
- Cardiotonic: Scillaren A enhances the systolic strength of the heart muscle, helping blood circulation.
- Expectorant: Traditionally used to relieve cough and remove mucus.
- Diuretic: Contributes to the elimination of fluids and the reduction of edema.
- Antihypertensive: May help regulate blood pressure due to its diuretic action.
Indications for Use:
- Heart failure, especially mild cases that require cardiac support.
- Cough and respiratory problems with heavy mucus production.
- Fluid retention and edema associated with cardiac or renal problems.
How to Use:
5–10 drops in water or herbal tea, 1–2 times a day. It is important to follow the therapist’s instructions, as the plant has a strong action.
Precautions:
- Use is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or for individuals sensitive to glycosides.
- Use under medical supervision is necessary, especially for people with heart problems or those taking other cardiotonic medicines.
- Overdose may cause serious adverse effects, such as cardiac arrhythmia.
Side effects:
- Excessive dosage may lead to nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and, in severe cases, cardiac arrhythmias.
- It may cause allergic reactions or stomach irritation in some users.
The Scilla maritima tincture is a powerful natural cardiotonic and expectorant, suitable for special cases that require support of heart and respiratory health. Despite its beneficial properties, caution is required in its use and specialist advice is essential, due to its strong actions and possible side effects.
