Rauwolfia serpentina
The most important group of phytochemicals found in this plant are indole alkaloids. The most pharmacologically active indole alkaloids are ajmaline, deserpidine, rescinnamine, reserpine, serpentine and yohimbine. They are well known as a selective alpha-adrenergic antagonist in the peripheral blood vessels. Relaxes smooth muscles and lowers blood pressure.
Reserpine reduces sympathetic nervous system toning and increases parasympathetic activity via effects on neurotransmitters and lowers the blood pressure.
Convolvulus pluricaulis

Inula racemosa found to possess significant anti-anginal property. In addition, it also lowers the diastolic blood pressure, plasma cortisol and catecholamines.
Mode of Action
- Carditone is unique combination of above herbal extracts which works through different mechanisms viz; It exerts hypotensive effects by the depletion of nor epinephrine through inhibition of catecholamine storage in postganglionic adrenergic nerve endings.
- It has sedative and tranquilizing properties.
- It has dilating action on the small blood vessels thereby increasing blood flow to the heart.
- It also has diuretic activity without depleting potassium.
- Overall it has a calmative and cardio tonic effect. Hence proved as best aid to regulate the blood pressure and protect the heart.
