Butea
superba is Twinning woody long life herbal plant exist only in
Thailand from the central part, eastern part, western part till
the northern part of Thailand. This plant species can be found in
the same habitant as Pueraria mirifica and also the mountains
area. The long-shape tuber were annually enlarged and accumulated
at least 15 chemicals in the group of direct chain organic acid ,
sterol, sterol glycoside, flavonoid and flavonoid
glycoside.
Species : Due to
the dispersal habitant of the plant, many varies had been found.
At least cultivars had been studied and selected for
commercialized plantation and were name as Butea I and
II.
Chemical
properties : This herb exhibit some chemical closely related
to that of the Pueraria mirifica herb but some chemical is
far more different.
The crude extract of this herb showed some similar reaction
to that of the male pill; Viagra. They show vasodilatation
effect the same as in the Viagra Tablet. Its chemicals also
promote energetic body without any nervous or muscular or
cardiac over stimulation. This is the reason why this herbal
product can be studied and promoted to be the “Herbal
Viagra”.
While the
commercial Erectile Dysfunction-treated drug is a great interested
product despite it’s serious adverse effect which some
are related to death, a herbal product such as Butea superba
with soft but safe action should be an alternative.
Furthermore, our
researcher had found that Butea superba products could be
in both forms, ingest product such as a health food product
and a topical application product such as a gel cosmetic product.
Derived
from clonal selection, the cultivar with high flavonoids and
flavonoids and flavonoid glycosides has been selected and
submitted to organic farming.
