Processes for polyphase fluid extraction of concentrated, active therapeutic components from parts of selected medicinal plants which have been identified chemotaxonomically are described. The resulting products-by-processes are defined as Concentrated Fluid Therapeutic Extracts, CFTE, of the selected plant types, where T represents a specific herbal plant family such as Symphytum, SYM, Taxus, TAX, Panax, PAN or Aloe, ALO. The process disclosed for CFTE preparation includes multiple/sequential stages of diffusional transfer of bioactive constituents from plant tissue into liquid and/or vapor extraction phases under contact conditions of forced convection at controlled temperature and pressure. Therapeutic formulations based on CFTE including emulsions, aerosols, liposomes and controlled-release devices are presented. Treatment methods for a variety of mammalian diseases and conditions and complications of specific diseases are described.

Polyphase fluid-extraction process, resulting products and methods of use

Processes for polyphase fluid extraction of concentrated, active therapeutic components from parts of plants identified taxonomically as Symphytum, Taxus and Aloe species are described. The resulting products-by-processes are defined as Concentrated Fluid Plant Extracts (CFPE) of the respective plant types, where P can be S, T or A. The preparation process for CFPE includes multiple/sequential stages of diffusional transfer of the active constituents into liquid and/or vapor extraction phases under contact conditions of forced convection at controlled temperature and pressure. Therapeutic formulations based on CFPE including emulsions, aerosols, liposomes and controlled-release devices are presented. Treatment methods for a variety of skin conditions and complications of specific diseases are indicated.
