General
- Rue is a well-known
evergreen, half-shrubby plant, common to southern Europe, and introduced
into this country as a garden plant. It flowers in July and August. The
whole plant has a strong, heavy, unpleasant smell, and a bitter, acrid,
pungent taste, which is due to its volatile oil. The leaves are the
parts used, and, when fresh, are said to irritate and even vesicate the
surface to which they are applied.
- They should be
gathered when the seed-vessels are welt developed, yet still green; the
seed-vessels of the unripe fruit are covered with large oil vesicles,
and may likewise be used for medicinal purposes. Rue yields its
properties to boiling water in infusion, but alcohol is its best
solvent. The plant loses much of its activity by drying.
Production
& Cultivation
-
- Boronia is in the
Family Rutaceae which is derived from the European herb Ruta
graveolens, a small rounded shrub to about 1m. The leaves can be
described as pinnate with broadly obovate leaflets, and with a bit
of imagination could be seen as Boronia-like. Collection of Boronia
seed, or that of other genera in the Tribe, is difficult as it is
usually dispersed quickly once ripe. One warm day is all that is
needed for near ripe seed to be thrown wide and far as the fruits
explode.
Application
& Technology
- Normal human
blood lymphocytes, B-lymphoid cells, and brain cancer cells treated
with Ruta in vitro were examined for telomere dynamics, mitotic
catastrophe, and apoptosis to understand the possible mechanism of
cell-killing, using conventional and molecular cytogenetic
techniques. Ruta in combination with Ca3(PO4)2 could be used for
effective treatment of brain cancers, particularly glioma.
- Ruta
is "useful in feverish complaints, promotes perspiration and removes
noxious material; in headache, nervous and hysteric complaints,
weakness of the stomach and pains in the bowels, suppressed menses,
and if taken for a long time it benefits epilepsy.
Ruta is one of
the chief remedies for injured bones, and especially
bruised bones.
- Using bicarbonate
for controlling powdery mildew could add protection against other
minor tobacco diseases such as target spot and brown spot, avoiding
the use of fungicides. Rue extract and sodium bicarbonate
applications did not affect the technological properties of cured
tobacco leaves.
Market &
Report
- Most herb crops
in Asia are cultivated by small holders who grow several kinds of
crops including herbs in a mixed cropping pattern. This is quite
adaptive to the existing conditions where a herb industry is not yet
established. Repetitive ingestion of Ruta, its infusion or essence
may produce the same acute symptomatology but the onset may be
delayed.
