Abstract
Descriptions of the use of extracts from rauwolfia plants may be traced back to ancient Hindu ayurvedic writings. These extracts were used in “primitive” Hindu medicine for a variety of central nervous derangements, both psychic and motor, and for treatment of a truly astonishing list of other ailments including hypertension, dysentery, diarrhea, cholera, insect bites and fevers with a variety of etiologies (18).
