| Abstract: | A number of medicinal plants exist
that are used in traditional and folk medicines of Iran and some other parts of
the world, which are known as stimulants of uterus, menstruation inducers or
abortive herbs. Some herbs and their fruits are being widely used as food
additives or as herbal remedies for various diseases but there is no report on
their effect as uterus stimulants. Therefore, Sadraei and others investigated
the potential effect of these putative stimulants for induction and/or
potentiation of uterus contraction in vitro and to look for a relaxant
effect essential oil of Zataria multiflora Boiss. and Carum
carvi Linn. and hydro-alcoholic extracts of Passiflora incarnata
Linn., Berberis integerrima Bunge and Crocus
sativus Linn. on rat isolated uterus contractions in
vitro. |
