Dosage: Class 2d (AHP). “Hazards and/or side effects not known for proper therapeutic dosages†(PH2). None reported (KOM; PHR; PIP). Some caution against use in depression (AHP). Mild allergies or dermatosis may result from contact. Oleo-resin reported to be allergenic, possibly causes dermatosis (CAN). Respiratory allergy caused by handling of hop cones (fresh hops oil, humulone, lupulone, and myrcene produce positive skin patch tests). Pollen can cause contact dermatosis. They suggest that hops be contraindicated in depressive states as the sedative effect of hops may aggravate or accentuate symptoms. “The sedative effect may potentiate the effects of existing sedative therapy and alcohol†(CAN). In vitro antispasmodic activity on the uterus has been documented. Because of uterine activity, its use in pregnancy and lactation is to be avoided. “Excessive use should be avoided in view of the limited toxicity data†(CAN). Avoid if pregnant (WAM). Do not use if suffering estrogen-dependent disorders (WAM). Extracts (Hops) — The LD50 for orally administered hop extract or lupulones in mice is ~500–3500 mg/kg (roughly 1/2 to 20th as toxic as caffeine). Ethanol extract antispasmodic and myorelaxant. Antibacterial activity has been documented for hops, humulone, and lupulone against Gram positive bacteria. The bitter acids exhibit antifungal activity against Candida, Fusarium, Mucor, and Trichophyton. The flavanones are antistaphylococcic and antifungal (Mucor and Trichophyton). Hops sedative and hypnotic, and motility-depressant properties are attributed to 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol. Isovaleric acid may contribute to the sedativity. Hops reportedly contain several sedative, analgesic, anesthetic, and anodyne compounds as well. Piperidine, quercitrin, and ursolic acid may depress the CNS. Hops improve human sleep performance in combination with valerian and the hops are apparently effective in baths (I’d suggest in combination with dilute lavender and lemonbalm). With uva ursi and alpha-tocopherol acetate, hops gave excellent results for 772 of 915 patients with irritable bladder and urinary incontinence. Combined with the Biblical chicory and peppermint, hops documentably relieves pain in chronic cholecystosis (calculous and noncalculous).

Dosage: Not covered (AHP). Seeds “poisonous†and must be specifically prepared before being used medicinally. Never consume them in any form unless a knowledgeable manufacturer has processed them properly. Children have died after ingesting untreated seed. Formerly an FDA herb of undefined safety. Strangely, APA gives the internal usage their highest rating (1) and external usage less (3) (APA). Aesculin has caused contact dermatosis. The no-toxic-effect dose is ca. 8 times the recommended therapeutic dose. The results of animal studies are corroborated by decades of use in patients with no reports of harmful effects due to overdosing. Tests for chronic toxicity (34 weeks in rats and dogs) showed no cumulative toxic effects or any evidence of embryotoxic or teratogenic effects. Isolated cases of GI distress, itch, and nausea are reported (SHT). Commission E reports rare GI disturbances (AEH). No contraindications or drug-drug interactions reported (PIP). Isolated cases of renal and hepatic toxicity as well as anaphylactic reactions have been reported following intravenous administration, but these appear to be exceptional (VET Herbs of Choice). Fleming (Herbal PDR, 1998) cautions that the intake of too many horse chestnut seed (in one case, a child with 5 seed) can cause diarrhea, disorders of consciousness and vision, enlargement of the pupils, flushing of the face, severe thirst, and vomiting. In case of poisoning, Fleming recommends evacuation of the stomach and intestine (gastric lavage, sodium sulphate) and administration of activated charcoal. Then symptom management (PHR). Blumenthal et al. (1998) caution that other prescribed noninvasive treatments; e.g., leg compresses, support stockings, or cold water applications, must be observed under all circumstances (KOM). CAN cautions that aescin is nephrotoxic. Side effects include GI disturbance, impaired liver function, mild nausea, shock, spasm, urticaria, and vomiting. Should be avoided by patients on blood-thinning therapy, with hepatic or renal impairment, or lactating or pregnant. Large doses of saponins can be fatally hemolytic in animals. LD50s range for aescin from 134 to 720 orally in mice, rats, and guinea pigs. On ipr administration, the total saponin fraction (LD50 = 46.5 mg/kg ipr mouse) was less toxic compared to isolated aescin (LD50 = 9.5 mg/kg ipr mouse) (CAN). LD50 of seed extract 990 mg/kg orl mouse, 2150 orl rat, 1530 orl rbt, 130 orl dog. The whole extract was more antiinflammatory than just aescin. In addition, an extract excluding aescin also exhibited antiinflammatory activity suggesting antiinflammatory agents other than aescin (CAN). Aescin (the 13% mixture of saponins) may affect the initial phase of inflammation by reducing the number and/or diameter of capillary pores effectively sealing the capillaries (CAN). It antagonizes effects of bradykinin but is not a direct bradykinin antagonist (PNC). Barringtogenol-C-21 and hippocaesculin have in vitro antitumor activity (PNC). Clinical treatment of 15 varicose patients with 900 mg/day STX for 12 days reduced activity of enzymes that breakdown proteoglycans (CAN). Unknowingly contributing to my argument for the synergistic whole rather than the isolated silver bullet, CAN notes that the total saponin fraction may be less toxic via peritoneal injection in mice than the isolated aescin (itself somewhat a mixture) (LD50s 46.5 and 9.5 mg/kg, respectively).

Dosage: Not covered (AHP; KOM). “Hazards and/or side effects not known for proper therapeutic dosages†(PH2). 15 g root bark is an abortive (HHB), hence contraindicated in pregnancy (PH2). 5 g/kg led to gastric hyperkeratosis and liver steatosis orally in rat (PH2). Parenteral dose of 22–50 mg/kg glucosinolate is lethal in mice. Extracts (Horseradish Tree) — Juice from leaves and stem bark inhibit Staphylococcus aureus but not Escherichia coli (MPI). Another study showed bark extracts were active against Bacillus subtilis, Dip. pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Micrococcus pyogenes, Salmonella typhosa, Shigella dysenteri, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Vibrio comma. Bark extract is fungicidal to Candida albicans, Helminthosporium sativum, Microsporum gypseum, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The 50% ethanolic extract of root bark (devoid of antibacterial activity) was antiviral to the vaccinia virus but not Ranikhet disease virus, but it did inhibit its replication. Ether leaf extracts were bacteriostatic to Staphylococcus aureus and S. typhosa. Alcohol extracts may contain an adrenergic neuron blocking agent (MPI). Alcoholic root bark extract analgesic, antiedemic, and antiinflammatory at 500–1000 mg/kg orally in albino rats (MPI). Aqueous and ethanolic leaf extracts are bactericidal, hypotensive, sedative, and respirastimulant. LD50 of 50% ethanolic plant extract = 8 mg/kg ipr mouse.
