A method of extracting a C. yanhusuo plant comprising the steps of harvesting and drying the plant; extracting the alkaloids from the plant in a solvent; filtering the solvent—C. yanhusuo plant mixture to remove the solvent and extracted alkaloids from a spent plant matter; drying the spent plant matter; purifying and separating the extracted alkaloids from the solvent; and mixing the purified alkaloids back into the dried spent plant matter. Also, products of the method include vaporizing liquids, medicinal compositions, kief compositions, rolling papers, and filters for tobacco and vaporizing equipment comprising the mixture of the purified alkaloids and the dried spent plant matter produced according to the method. Further, a C. yanhusuo plant having a total alkaloid content of about 3%, of which 97% of the total alkaloid content is bulbocapnine and tetrahydropalmatine (THP).

This invention relates to the extraction of psychoactive compounds from organisms for use in medicine. Extraction is carried out with a strong acid or strong base to either promote or inhibit dephosphorylation. The extract in the slurry form is standardized with added excipient so that when it is dried the powdered composition has a specified total psychoactive alkaloid concentration, with a known ratio of phosphorylated to dephosphorylated psychoactive alkaloids.

The compound preparation prepared by the present invention has the advantages of simple preparation, safety, low toxic and side effects, no dependence, etc., and can effectively alleviate depression mood.

The preparation of an aqueous extract resulting from an aqueous extraction process of Cinnamomum aromaticum, Arctium lappa, Viticis fructus, Lonicera japonica, Acanthopanax gracilistylis, Raphanus sativus, Astragalus membranaceus and Hordeum vulgare and the chemical composition comprising said extract or fraction thereof, and the use of said composition or fraction thereof for treating or preventing cancers and inflammation related diseases, hair loss, stimulating hair growth, increasing energy production, and boosting immunity.

Provided is a method for extracting and refining alkaloids from ipecac, comprising: (1) grinding ipecac, adding acidic methanol/ethanol solution for extraction, obtaining an extraction solution A, concentrating under a reduced pressure, and obtaining a concentrated solution B; (2) using reversed-phase polymer filler J for adsorption, and performing desorption by washing with water, collecting a washing solution C, eluting with an alcoholic solution E and collecting a desorption solution D; (3) injecting the washing solution C and the desorption solution D into a preparative high performance liquid chromatograph for separation and purification respectively, to collect a solution G, and a solution H and a solution I respectively; and (4) concentrating the solutions G, H and I, which are then subjected to reversed-phase polymer filler K for adsorption respectively; eluting them respectively after adsorption with an alcoholic solution F; concentrating obtained eluates to dryness; and then performing vacuum drying.

A method of extracting a C. Yanhusuo plant comprising the steps of harvesting and drying the plant; extracting the alkaloids from the plant in a solvent; filtering the solvent-C. Yanhusuo plant mixture to remove the solvent and extracted alkaloids from a spent plant matter; drying the spent plant matter; purifying and separating the extracted alkaloids from the solvent; and mixing the purified alkaloids back into the dried spent plant matter. Also, products of the method include vaporizing liquids, medicinal compositions, kief compositions, rolling papers, and filters for tobacco and vaporizing equipment comprising the mixture of the purified alkaloids and the dried spent plant matter produced according to the method. Further, a C. Yanhusuo plant having a total alkaloid content of about 3%, of which 97% of the total alkaloid content is bulbocapnine and tetrahydropalmatine (THP).

A method of extracting a Rhodiola plant comprising the steps of harvesting and drying the plant; extracting the alkaloids from the plant in a solvent; filtering the solvent-Rhodiola plant mixture to remove the solvent and extracted alkaloids from a spent plant matter; drying the spent plant matter; purifying and separating the extracted alkaloids from the solvent; and mixing the purified alkaloids back into the dried spent plant matter. Also, products of the method include vaporizing liquids, medicinal compositions, kief compositions, rolling papers, and filters for tobacco and vaporizing equipment comprising the mixture of the purified alkaloids and the dried spent plant matter produced according to the method. Further disclosed is a Rhodiola plant having approximately 1.3-8.57% total phenolic compounds containing 1-3.5% salidrosides and 0.03 — 3.6% Rosavins

The present invention is directed to a method for preparing plant extracts comprising the steps of (i) preparing a soluble extract from (a) plants or parts thereof and (b) an aqueous, alcoholic or aqueous alcoholic mixed extractant; and removal of insoluble components, (ii) concentrating the extract to a dry substance content at which the contained lipids and lipoids form suspended and/or emulgated aggregates, (iii) separating the suspended and/or emulgated aggregates by microfiltration from the concentrated extract, and (iv) optionally removing the extractant. The invention further pertains to an extract and composition comprising said extract as prepared by this method.

Spirulina extracts and/or fractionated compounds thereof, sublingual spray formulation thereof, spraying devices for using the formulation, as well as methods of preparing and using the spirulina extracts to treat TNF-α related inflammation are provided. The spirulina extracts are prepared by water extraction of Arthrospira spp. biomass that is cultivated under controlled, ultra-high-density conditions with strong UV illumination and strong continuous mixing, and are characterized by high levels of c-phycocyanin, sorbitol and adenosine derivates—which were found to have a strong low-dose effect of reducing TNF-α secretion. The spirulina extracts may correspondingly be used to prevent or alleviate cytokine storm related to various infections or autoimmune diseases.

The present invention relates to a method of preventing or treating a fibrotic condition, comprising administering an effective amount of composition to a subject in need thereof; wherein the composition comprises triterpenes extracted from Antrodia-camphorate or anisomeles indica.
