The present invention relates to a formulation of herbal cream for cracked heels and palms. Since the components in the formulation are from herbal sources it is very safe and eco-friendly and does not produce any harmful effects on the skin. It is comprised of a natural wax as an emulsifier, extract of curcuma and the gum of Acacia or Colophonium or Shorea. The gum gives a synergistic effect in binding and healing the skin with natural wound healing herbal extract selected from the aqueous extracts of curcuma, neem and allantonin. This is combined with a wound healing fragrant oil. The natural wound healing herbal extract acts as a humectant and the gum gives an synergistic effect in binding the skin thereby reducing water loss from the skin. The cream spreads evenly and smoothly when applied on the affected parts, and quickens healing, restores natural suppleness and softness and also serves as an antiseptic. |

A nontoxic, therapeutic agent having pharmacological activity comprising concentrated extract of Larrea tridentata plant material and ascorbic acid, an ascorbic acid ester, an ascorbic acid salt, butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene, hydrogen sulfide, hypophosphorous acid, monothioglycerol, potassium bisulfite, propyl gallate, sodium bisulfite, sodium hydrosulfite, sodium thiosulfate, sulfur dioxide, sulfurous acid, a tocopherol or vitamin E is made by a process in which the plant material is extracted using an organic solvent, preferably acetone, and is then saturated with one of the listed reducing agents acid to reduce the toxic NDGA quinone, which naturally occurs in the plant material, to NDGA itself. Additional amounts of ascorbic acid, an ascorbic acid ester, an ascorbic acid salt, butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene, hydrogen sulfide, hypophosphorous acid, monothioglycerol, potassium bisulfite, propyl gallate, sodium bisulfite, sodium hydrosulfite, sodium thiosulfate, sulfur dioxide, sulfurous acid, a tocopherol, or vitamin E may be added to the extract to inhibit the natural oxidation of the NDGA into the toxic NDGA quinone in vivo, or during processing or storage. The resulting extract is usefull in the treatment of viral diseases caused by viruses from the Herpesviridae family or viruses which require the Sp1 class of proteins to initiate viral replications. The resulting compound can also be used as an anti-inflammatory when the inflammatory diseases are mediated by the effects of leukotrienes. The listed reducing agents can also be used to stabilize NDGA as a therapeutic agent or a food additive. |

An orally administrable therapeutic protein is provided by combining the therapeutic protein with a stabilizing agent in an aqueous solution. The solution is coated onto nonpareils and microencapsulated with a water emulsifiable enteric coating composition. The microcapsules are orally administered. The coating protects the protein as it passes through the stomach. Upon reaching the small intestines, the basic pH of the intestinal juices will dissolve the coating, allowing the protein to be released and induce antigen specific immune response which has the specificity of the native molecule. The stabilizing agent protects the therapeutic protein from denaturation during the encapsulation process. |
