Hemp Agrimony Overview
Hemp agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum) is a flowering plant that belongs to the aster family (Asteraceae). It has hairy, serrated leaves and small, pinkish-purple flowers that bloom in clusters. The plant gets its name from the fact that it has a fibrous stem, which was once used to make hemp rope.
Hemp agrimony has been used medicinally for centuries, and it is believed to have astringent, diuretic, and tonic properties. It is sometimes used to treat digestive disorders, such as diarrhea and dysentery, and it is also used to treat respiratory conditions, such as bronchitis and asthma.
It is important to note that hemp agrimony is not the same as marijuana (Cannabis sativa) and does not contain significant amounts of the psychoactive THC. Additionally, the use of hemp agrimony as a medicine generally isn't recommended as it may contain liver-toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) constituents.
Etidronate Disodium Overview
-
Etidronate is used to treat Paget's disease of bone (a condition in which the bones are soft and weak and may be deformed, painful, or easily broken) and to prevent and treat heterotopic ossification (growth of bone tissue in an area of the body other than the skeleton) in people who have had total hip replacement surgery (surgery to replace the hip joint with an artificial joint) or in people who have had an injury to the spinal cord. Etidronate is in a class of medications called bisphosphonates. It works by slowing the breakdown of old bone and the formation of new bone.
