Common Stonecrop Overview
Common Stonecrop (Sedum acre) is a small, succulent perennial plant that is commonly found in rocky or sandy soils. While it is native to Europe and Asia, it has been introduced to North America as an ornamental plant. The plant has small, green leaves that are arranged in a rosette pattern, and produces yellow flowers in the summer. Common Stonecrop has been used in traditional medicine for various ailments and is believed to have diuretic, laxative, and astringent properties. It has been used to treat kidney and bladder problems, as well as to aid in digestion. The plant is also said to have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties and has been used to treat wounds and skin conditions such as eczema.
Aripiprazole Overview
-
Aripiprazole is used to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia (a mental illness that causes disturbed or unusual thinking, loss of interest in life, and strong or inappropriate emotions) in adults and teenagers 13 years of age and older. It is also used alone or with other medications to treat episodes of mania or mixed episodes (symptoms of mania and depression that happen together) in adults, teenagers, and children 10 years of age and older with bipolar disorder (manic-depressive disorder; a disease that causes episodes of depression, episodes of mania, and other abnormal moods). Aripiprazole is also used with an antidepressant to treat depression when symptoms cannot be controlled by the antidepressant alone. Aripiprazole is also used to treat children 6 to 17 years of age who have autistic disorder (a developmental problem that causes difficulty communicating and interacting with others). Aripiprazole may help control irritable behavior such as aggression, temper tantrums, and frequent mood changes in these children. Aripiprazole is also used to treat children 6 to 18 years of age who have Tourette's disorder (a condition characterized by the need to perform repeated motions or to repeat sounds or words). Aripiprazole is in a class of medications called atypical antipsychotics. It works by changing the activity of certain natural substances in the brain.
