Abstract
An aqueous extract of Orthosiphonis folium, given orally, enhances considerably ion excretion in rat to a level comparable to that obtained with furosemide. No aqueretic action is observed. The increased ion excretion is not due to the potassium content of the starting material.
Key words
Orthosiphon aristatus - diuretic activity - ion excretion - Orthosiphonis folium extract
