Abstract
The present invention provides a method for preparing aqueous extracts of vegetals, particularly of plants, which comprises the steps of a) decontamination of the plant, b) comminuting the plant, c) treatment of the comminuted plant with a laser radiation, d) suspension of the mixture obtained in step c) in water, e) maceration of the suspension obtained in step d), and f) separation of the resulting liquid. The invention also provides the compositions obtained by the present method, some of which find application in medicine, particularly in the treatment of immune-suppressant diseases such as cancer, tuberculosis, influenza, common cold and AIDS, or in the treatment of viral diseases such as hepatitis.
Claims22
A method for preparing an aqueous extract of plants, comprising:
- a) decontaminating the plants, the plants being one or more of a plant part or one or more of plant parts of various plant species;
- b) comminuting the plants;
- c) treating the comminuted plants with laser radiation for a suitable time using a laser radiation device comprised of a red linear laser diode with a capability of harmonic generation of wavelengths within the range of 150 to 810 nm, a power of 1 to 60 watts and a spot of 1 to 6 mm of diameter to obtain laser-treated plant matter;
- d) suspending the laser-treated plant matter obtained in step c) in water;
- e) macerating the suspension obtained in step d);
- and
- f) separating the resulting liquid so as to prepare the aqueous extract.
