Dosage: Not covered (AHP; KOM; PH2). While flower buds are considered edible, the roots of daylilies are generally considered toxic and should not be ingested. Overdoses may cause urinary incontinence, respiratory arrest, dilated pupils, and even blindness. Daylily root is not an “herb for self medication†(FAY). Hemerocallin is schistosomicidal. The Chinese name, translated to “forget-worry herb†may refer to the alleged hallucinogenic effect of eating large doses of the tender young leaf shoots (Foster and Yue, 1992).

I suppose that Commission E is talking about various degenerative arthritic conditions when they approve this for, “Supportive therapy of degenerative disorders of the locomotor system,†but just couldn’t bring themselves around to saying arthrosis, or degenerative joints and/or muscles (KOM). Dosage: Class 2b, 2d (AHP). Contraindicated in duodenal and gastric ulcers (AHP, 1997). Commission E reports contraindications in GI ulcer (AEH). Contraindicated in people with diabetes. Excessive doses may interfere with blood pressure and cardiac therapy (CAN). LD50 = >13,500 mg/kg orl mouse (CAN). Extracts (Devil’s Claw) — German clinical studies confirm arthritic relief; hypocholesterolemic, hypouricemic (PED). Chrubasik et al. (1996) studied the effectiveness in treatment of acute low back pain. While animal studies exhibit analgesic and antiinflammatory activities (due to harpagoside), this study of 118 patients with nonspecific low-back pain (most for more than 15 years),with 400 mg extract 3 ×/day (equivalent of 6000 mg crude root extract = 50 mg harpagoside). Only 9 of the treated patients improved cf 1 in the placebo controls. The insignificant reduction in pain was confined to those whose pain did not radiate to one or both legs. “There was a notable absence of identifiable clinical, hematological, or biochemical side effects†(PHM3:1). None of these authors commented on the presence of 3 COX-2 inhibitors as well, kaempferol, oleanolic acid, and ursolic acid. Contraindications: Class 2b, 2d (AHP).

Dosage: Class 3 (AHP). Inappropriate for obesity treatment (AHP). One source reports it is classified as a drug, which must normally be registered as pharmaceutical specialty (AEH). Why repeat; use with arrhythmogenic drugs (methylxanthines, phosphodiesterase inhibitors (including, I suppose, Viagraâ„¢), quinidine, sympathomimetics) increases risk of arrhythmia (PH2). Long-term dosage is potentially gynecomastic. Overdoses may cause anorexia, confusion, depressions, diarrhea, gastric hypertonia, hallucinogens, headache, psychosis, stupor, tachycardia, and vomiting. Lethal doses induce asphyxiation or heart failure (PH2). Both the leaf and pure glycosides are contraindicated in carotid sinus syndrome, first and second degree AV-block, hypercalcemia, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, hypokalemia, thoracic aortic aneurism, ventricular tachycardia, or WPW syndrome (PH2).

Dosage: Not covered (AHP). “Hazards and/or side effects not known for proper therapeutic dosages†(PH2). Extracts (Divi-Divi) — Fatty acid triglycerides (octadeca-4-enoic-, octadeca-2,4-dienoic-, palmitic-, and stearic-acids) are macrofilaricidal (from kernels of C. bonduc seed). Crude ethanol extracts were active against Litomosoides carinii in the cotton rat. Most or all activity was in the n-hexane soluble fraction. Orally, it killed nearly 95% of the microfilariae at a dose of 1 g/kg/×5 days (Rastogi et al., 1996).
