Abstract

Cherula and sticklewort tinctures exhibit rapid and short-lasting diuretic effect. Tinctures of tansy and immortelle are featured by rapid onset of the effect and prolonged action, while the tincture of common bearberry has a long latency period and prolonged action. Under normal conditions of gravity, flavonoid rutin stimulates diuresis only through tubular component; under hypergravity, simultaneously via glomerular and tubular components.
