Abstract
Therapeutic compositions made from the herb Tribulus terrestris and methods of making and using the same are provided. The therapeutic compositions include an enriched extract having an increased spirostanol saponin content that is prepared from the harvested Tribulus terrestris L. The enriched extract is prepared using discrete hydrolysis, separation and enrichment steps. The resulting therapeutic may be combined with a cream base and is useful for treating bacterial, fungal, and viral infections, particularly gynecologic infections. This product was also found to be very successful in suppository form for the treatment of vulvo-vaginal, vulvo-hemorrhoidal and colonic conditions.
