I-Afrika inikwe ukuya kuthi ga kwi 45,000 iintlobo zezityalo - malunga 25% yemithombo yofuzo yezityalo zehlabathi.
I-Pink Periwinkle.
Isityalo si esetyenziswa rhoqo njenge-tonic kunye ne-emetic yonyango lweemeko zempilo ezininzi ezibandakanya i-rheumatism, isifo seswekile, kunye nezifo ezinxulumene nolusu kunye ne-venereal.
Iperiwinkle epinki ine iiphytochemicals ezininzi ezinxulunyaniswa ne-antioxidant, i-antimicrobial, i-antidiabetic kunye ne-anticancer properties. Iialkaloids zihlala enye yotyikityo. Ezimbini zayo iialkaloids, i-vincristine kunye ne-vinblastine, ihlolwe ngokubanzi kwishishini lamachiza. Ezi alkaloids zimbini yayiyeyokuqala i-anticancer esekwe kwisityalo iiarhente zisetyenziselwe ukusetyenziswa kwezonyango.

I-Kanna sisityalo saseMzantsi Afrika esithandwayo. Isasazwa kancinci kwindawo ezomileyo kwaye isetyenziselwa iimeko ezinxulumene noxinzelelo, uxinzelelo, iintlungu kunye nokuxhalaba. I-Mesemrine-uhlobo alkaloids zongamele kwaye zinoxanduva lweziphumo zekhemesti ezenziwa ngukanna njengesityalo sokusebenza kwengqondo kunye nesivuseleli semo. I-Zembrin® iphuhliswe njenge isicatshulwa esisemgangathweni yesityalo. Isetyenziswe njengesongezelelo sokutya esinamandla okuphakamisa isimo sengqondo, ukunciphisa uxinzelelo kunye nokuphucula ukuqonda. Ukusetyenziswa kolu hlobo luvela kwizithethe ze Khoekhoe kunye San.
Ezinye izinto ezininzi ezisetyenziselwa amayeza ziye zaxelwa ngolu hlobo njengoko lunokusetyenziswa ukunyanga iintloko, iintlungu zesisu kunye nezigulo zokuphefumla. I-Trimesemine™ (isicatshulwa esifumaneka kurhwebo esiphezulu kugxininiso lwe-mesembrine) iboniswe isebenza njenge i-monoamine umkhululi, ngokunyusa i-serotonin, umthunywa weekhemikhali oveliswa ngumzimba owaziwayo ngokulawula imo. Kunokuba luncedo kukusilela kwengqwalasela kunye nezinye iziphazamiso ze-nervous system ezifana nesifo se-Alzheimer's.
Igeranium yaseMzantsi Afrika
Le igeranium yonyango eyinzalelwane yalapha eMzantsi Afrika kwaye iindawo eziphakamileyo zaseLesotho zineengcambu zeengcambu ezivunwa ngeenjongo zokwenza amayeza. Abantu basebenzisa ezi tubers urhudo, i-colic, gastritis, isifo sephepha, ukhohlokhohlo, ukuphazamiseka kwesibindi, izikhalazo zokuya exesheni, i-gonorrhoea, kunye nezinye izifo ezininzi.
Ubungqina bezonyango bucebisa ukusebenza kwezicatshulwa ezilungiselelwe kolu didi kulawulo lwe ebukhali ukuphefumla usulelo lwendlela. Ezi datha zixhasa ukusetyenziswa kwe-geranium yamayeza ngakumbi ukunciphisa iimpawu zokudumba okubukhali komngxunya weempumlo kunye nezono kunye nengqele eqhelekileyo kubantu abadala. Umckaloabo® (EPs® 7630), isicatshulwa sobunini esisemgangathweni, yenye yezona mveliso zamayeza aphuhliswe ngempumelelo kwizityalo kolu didi. Inani le izifundo zeklinikhi ibonise ukuba inokunciphisa iimpawu ze-bronchitis ebukhali.
Amayeza angaphandle kwekhawuntara (iKaloba kunye ne-Umcka) enziwe kwizicatshulwa zale pelargonium ngoku athengiswa kwihlabathi liphela. I-Linctagon® yi i-pelargonium-ephefumlelweyo amayeza amiselwe ukunceda umzimba ukulwa ingqele kunye nomkhuhlane ngokuvuselela amajoni omzimba.
