These alkaloids have narrow therapeutic ranges, which means that a very small decrease in the dose could make the drug utterly ineffective, and that a small increase could raise the risk of side effects. This can in clude paralysis among other nasties.I.E. a potentially harmful dose is not much higher than an effective dose.Historically, a major use of European mandrake has been to treat asthma and other breathing problems. The alkaloids in European mandrake are thought to reduce secretions in all parts of the body, including the lungs. One possible result is that lung congestion may be lessened. Additionally, the tropane alkaloid component may relax muscles in the bronchial tubes, making breathing easier. Although newer prescription medicines use different kinds of chemicals, alkaloids similar to those found in European mandrake were formerly used in prescription medicines to treat asthma. Those drugs have mostly been replaced with safer and more effective products.Legend and superstition surround the mandrake. The root of the mandrake has a peculiar shape, resembling human limbs or even a complete body. The strange shape of the mandrake’s root contributed to its reputation as a magical, and dangerous, plant. Many people believed that the mandrake root screamed as it was pulled from the ground. To dig up the mandrake and hear its cries meant certain death, so ancient herbalists instructed people to tie a dog to the mandrake and force the animal to pull it up, thereby killing the dog and saving themselves.         TRIASSIC PERIOD EXPLANATIONS     The Triassic is a geologic period and system that extends from about 251 to 199 Ma (million years ago). As the first period of the Mesozoic Era, the Triassic follows the Permian and is followed by the Jurassic. Both the start and end of the Triassic are marked by major extinction events. The extinction event that closed the Triassic period has recently been more accurately dated, but as with most older geologic periods, the rock beds that define the start and end are well identified, but the exact dates of the start and end of the period are uncertain by a few million years.   During the Triassic, both marine and continental life show an adaptive radiation beginning from the starkly impoverished biosphere that followed the Permian-Triassic extinction. Corals of the hexacorallia group made their first appearance. The first flowering plants (Angiosperms) may have evolved during the Triassic, as did the first flying vertebrates, the pterosaurs.   During the Triassic, almost all the Earth's land mass was concentrated into a single supercontinent centered more or less on the equator, called Pangaea ("all the land"). From the east a vast gulf entered Pangaea, the Tethys sea. It opened farther westward in the mid-Triassic, at the expense of the shrinking Paleo-Tethys Ocean, an ocean that existed during the Paleozoic. The remaining shores were surrounded by the world-ocean known as Panthalassa ("all the sea"). All the deep-ocean sediments laid down during the Triassic have disappeared through subduction of oceanic plates; thus, very little is known of the Triassic open ocean. The supercontinent Pangaea was rifting during the Triassic—especially late in the period—but had not yet separated. The first nonmarine sediments in the rift that marks the initial break-up of Pangea—which separated New Jersey from Morocco—are of Late Triassic age; in the U.S., these thick sediments comprise the Newark Group.Because of the limited shoreline of one super-continental mass, Triassic marine deposits are globally relatively rare, despite their prominence in Western Europe, where the Triassic was first studied. In North America, for example, marine deposits are limited to a few exposures in the west. Thus Triassic stratigraphy is mostly based on organisms living in lagoons and hypersaline environments, such as Estheria crustaceans.       If you are interested by Other Theme Personal Creation Box, Contact me, Thank you   Place a Bid!
