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.
Rivastigmine Overview
-
Rivastigmine is used to treat dementia (a brain disorder that affects the ability to remember, think clearly, communicate, and perform daily activities and may cause changes in mood and personality) in people with Alzheimer's disease (a brain disease that slowly destroys the memory and ability to think, learn, communicate and handle daily activities). Rivastigmine is also used to treat dementia in people with Parkinson's disease (a brain and nervous system disease with symptoms of slowing of movement, muscle weakness, shuffling walk, and loss of memory). Rivastigmine is in a class of medications called cholinesterase inhibitors. It improves mental function (such as memory and thinking) by increasing the amount of a certain natural substance in the brain.
