Examination of the Rationale of the Smoking Aversion
Characteristics of
Plantago Major |
The structure of the Plantago Major plant includes a remarkable glycoside of the
monoterpene class (iridoid) called Aucubin. This glycoside has been studied and
numerous scientific papers have been written about this particular member of the
monoterpene family. The general characteristics of the iridoid monoterpene are as follows:
- Sedative
- Anesthetic
- Analeptic
- Anaseptic (Anti-viral)
- Anti-toxic
- Anti-Histaminic
- Anti-Inflammatory
- Anti-Rheumatic
- Anti-Tumor (Anti-Blastic, Anti-Cancer, Anti-Carcinogenic)
- . Diuretic
- . Expectorant
- . Hypotensive
- . Organoleptic (Odor, Taste)
The
anti-toxic, anti-inflammatory and expectorant characteristics suggest why the plant is
useful in lung disorders, and as inferences as to the effect of the Plantago Major
on smokers. Exact cause and effect relationships are not yet fully understood. However,
the above suggests real reasons for the noted effects on smokers.
CIG-NO Delivers Fast Relief
CIG-NO sub-lingual spray is designed to be carried in
the pocket or purse and may be taken anytime, anywhere, as often as needed. Fast acting, CIG-NO
spray quenches the desire to smoke. With CIG-NO the smoker takes
control of his smoking habit. Just a few pre-measured sprays under the tongue and
relief is on the way.
