Claims30
A cardiac glycoside aloe composition comprising a Nerium oleander aloe extract, wherein said extract is prepared by extracting Nerium oleander with aloe to create an extraction mixture comprising liquid and solid material and separating the solid material from the liquid material;
- wherein said liquid material is the Nerium oleander aloe extract.
A method of extracting cardiac glycosides, comprising:
- mixing Nerium oleander having cardiac glycosides with aloe to form an extraction mixture and
- separating the extract from the solid Nerium oleander plant material.
A cardiac glycoside aloe composition comprising a cardiac glycoside aloe extract, wherein said cardiac glycoside aloe extract is prepared by extracting a plant with aloe to create an extraction mixture comprising liquid and solid material and separating the solid material from the liquid material, wherein said liquid material is the cardiac glycoside aloe extract and wherein said plant consists of a cardiac glycoside plant selected from Digitalis purpurea, Digitalis lanate, Convallaria majalis, Urginea maritime, Urginea indica, Strophanthus gratus, Apocynum cannabinum, Cheiranthus cheiri and Nerium indicum.
A method of extracting cardiac glycosides, comprising:
- mixing a composition consisting of a cardiac glycoside plant and aloe to form an extraction mixture, separating the liquid extract from the solid cardiac glycoside plant material and collecting the liquid extract;
- wherein the cardiac glycoside plant is selected from Digitalis purpurea, Digitalis lanate, Convallaria majalis, Urginea maritime, Urginea indica, Strophanthus gratus, Apocynum cannabinum, Cheiranthus cheiri and Nerium indicum.
