EUPHRASIA Urtinktur

Euphrasia officinalis (Orobanchaceae)

Try Eyebright, for the brightest eyes! This herb is rich in nutrients and has been used for centuries to ease eyestrain, conjunctivitis, sore and runny eyes, and is also thought to relieve allergies, sinusitis, bronchitis, colds and hay fever. Euphrasia officinalis (Orobanchaceae) is an antioxidant that fights free-radical damage and promotes overall eye health as well as slowing down progressive vision weakness due to age. The herbal tincture has been used in cases of insomnia and contains compounds that improve cognitive function. Skin problems such as acne and stretch marks have also been found to respond to Eyebright’s herbal properties.

It has been found to be beneficial for many eye problems including stinging and weeping eyes, cataracts, stye, bloodshot or strained eyes, eye inflammations and over-sensitivity to light. Taken internally, it is thought to maintain good vision and promote general eye health.
Euphrasia officinalis (Orobanchaceae) tinctures have been used to tighten the membranes surrounding the eyes and prevent secretion of fluids, reducing excess phlegm and mucus in the eyes, sinuses and upper respiratory tract. It also soothes the mucous membranes, easing catarrh and relieving the discomforts of minor irritations. The herb is a bitter, astringent herb that has often been used to relieve inflammation and infectious conditions associated with colds, coughs and sore throats.

Used externally, Euphrasia officinalis (Orobanchaceae) is an excellent eyewash, its antiseptic and antibacterial qualities have been known to relieve not only inflammations and eye infections. With its vitamin C content, also known as ascorbic acid, it supports collagen and tissue healing and has shown to be helpful for weeping eczema and herpes. Euphrasia officinalis (Orobanchaceae) liquid extract is known to be effective in tightening the porous oily skin and healing acne irritated skin and stretch marks. A simple remedy for acne is to apply 5 drops of the tincture in 1/4 cup of water and then dab onto the skin.

Mechanism of Action

Pharmacology:

• Constituents: Eyebright contains iridoid glycosides including aucubin^2,3, flavonoids, including quercetin, apigenin, and tannins. The most studied constituent of eyebright is aucubin and its aglycone, aucubigenin. However, a mechanism of therapeutic action is not known at this time.
• Anti-inflammatory effects: In an animal study of inflammation, an oral dose of aucubin (100mg/kg) demonstrated an anti-inflammatory effect comparable to indomethacin.⁴ A more recent in vitro study suggested that iriod glycosides might act through inhibition of thromboxane-synthase enzyme.⁵
• Anti-microbial effects: Aucubigenin, the aglycone of aucubin has been shown in vitro to possess antibacterial effects against S. aureus, P. mirabilis, and B. subtilis, antifungal activity against C. albicans and P. italicum^6,7, as well as anti-hepatitis B virus activity⁸.
• Hepatoprotective effects: Aucubigenin, the aglycone of aucubin, inhibited hepatic RNA polymerase and protein synthesis in vivo and in vitro.^9,10 In a study conducted on rat livers, aucubin inhibited the cytochrome P450 enzyme system through a glutaraldehyde-like protein cross-linking mechanism.¹ Such mechanisms may mediate hepatoprotective properties against liver toxins such as carbon tetrachloride and alpha-amanitin.¹¹

Pharmacodynamics/Kinetics:

• Bioavailability: Aucubin, a constituent of eyebright, has shown linear pharmacokinetic behavior when administered intravenously to rats at doses of 40-400mg/kg.¹² The half-life of aucubin in the post-distributive phase was 42.5 minutes, total body clearance was 7.2mL/min/kg and the volume of distribution was 346.9mL/kg at a given dose of 40mg/kg.¹² When 100mg/kg of aucubin was administered orally, intraperitoneally, and hepatoportally to rats, bioavailability was 19.3%, 76.8% and 83.5% respectively, with a low plasma protein binding of 9%.¹²
• Metabolism: Both fecal flora and bacterial strains isolated from human feces transformed aucubin, to aucubigenin, aucubinine A and aucubinine B.¹³ Aucubin is thought to be initially hydrolyzed to aucubigenin and glucose by bacterial β-glucosidase. Aucubigenin may then react with an ammonia model to form a base, which may be further subjected to reduction of the double bond and the hydroymethyl group, oxidation of the hydroxyl group and aromatization of the nitrogen containing ring, to give aucubinines A and B. It is not known whether these compounds are pharmacologically active.

Euphrasia rostkoviana, Orobanchaceae

Eyebright (mainly Euphrasia rostkoviana and E. stricta [syn. E. officinalis], Orobanchaceae) is a semi-parasitic alpine plant that has recorded uses in Europe that date back to the early 14th century. Its common name comes from its long history of use in the treatment of conjunctivitis, sties, and other ailments of the eye. Eyebright flower, leaf, and stem were used in poultices or as a tea for inflammatory conditions such as fever, cough, sore throat, and earache.1 In the 16th century, it became a popular flavoring for alcoholic beverages such as beer and wine. Research has shown that compounds in eyebright essential oil have antimicrobial properties, as well as tonic and astringent qualities.2
