Periwinkle
Synonyms: Catharanthus roseus, Ammocallis rosea, Lochnera rosea.
Common names: Periwinkle, Madagascar Periwinkle.
Common Hindi name: Sadabahar.
Plant: 30-90cm. Evergreen erect shrub.
Leaves: 2.5-5.0cm. Glossy dark green.
Flower: 5cm across. Whereas many exotic hybrid garden varieties have been raised, two common wild varieties have white and rose-purple flowers.
Native to Madagascar, grows throughout India and found as an escape in waste places and sandy tracts.
The plant has historically been used to treat a wide assortment of diseases. It was used as a folk remedy for diabetes in Europe for centuries. In India, juice from the leaves was used to treat wasp stings. In Hawaii, the plant was boiled to make a poultice to stop bleeding. In China, it was used as an astringent, diuretic and cough remedy. In Central and South America, it was used as a homemade cold remedy to ease lung congestion and inflammation and sore throats. Throughout the Caribbean, an extract from the flowers was used to make a solution to treat eye irritation and infections.
The plant contains more than 70 useful alkaloids. Some, such as catharanthine, leurosine sulphate, lochnerine, tetrahydroalstonine, vindoline and vindolinine lower blood sugar levels (thus easing the symptoms of diabetes). Others lower blood pressure, others act as hemostatics (arrest bleeding) and two others, vincristine and vinblastine, have anticancer properties. Periwinkles also contain the alkaloids reserpine and serpentine, which are powerful tranquilizers.
Because the alkaloids in this plant can have serious side effects such as nausea and hair loss, it is not recommended that people attempt to medicate themselves with periwinkles.
It also had a reputation as a magic plant. Europeans thought it could ward off evil spirits, and the French referred to it as "violet of the sorcerers".

Very little research has been done in humans.

low blood pressure remedy
Finally, Basement Jaxx’s long-awaited full-length, Remedy, has been issued in the U.S. It’s aptly titled, to be sure: the production duo’s record is a remedy to the dull, faceless house and techno that populates dance floors. The duo are unrepentantly pop savvy, bringing vocals and lyrics to their unique blend of electro, house, hip-hop, salsa, and soul. It’s a weird combo, but like the best of all pop songs, Basement Jaxx tracks stick like putty to the ears within a few listens. In fact, you may feel that you’ve already heard much of Remedy when you give it a spin on your CD player. With their boisterous samples, vocal hooks, and funked-out, catchy bass lines, the songs “Rendez-vu,” “Yo-Yo,” and “Red Alert” seem like familiar friends, rather than just the next big thing. –Tricia Romano
