The Boldo plant also has many medicinal uses. It grows in Latin America, in countries such as, Chile, Argentina, Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru. The traditional medical uses for this plant were to treat gout, and diseases in the bladder and prostate area. The leaves are made into extracts for treating many dyspeptic disorders. The isochinilinici Boldo contains alkaloids including the most important, Boldin. Boldin is the substance present in the leaves and not so much in the bark of the plant. Bold is used as a modern herbal medicine for the treatment of low-mild hepatobiliary dysfunction, in the treatment of dyspeptic disorders and also in the treatment of constipation. Boldin is responsible for the sedative effect of Boldo. The Bold can be taken in capsules, tablets, as a tea, tincture, and fluid extract. If you are taking it as a tea, the recommended dosage would be 2-5 grams per day. Your treatment with this plant should not in any case exceed over four weeks.
