A hydration composition for the body is provided which essentially includes the synergistic combination of: (a),(common name: Golden Seal), b),(common name: Slippery Elm), and (c),(common name: Salsaparilla). The above hydration composition may be prepared in homoeopathic or non-homocopathic form. The homoeopathic hydration composition may be prepared by any one of the following methods comprising: (i) forming separate homoeopathic preparations from components (a, b and c) mentioned hereinabove, and subsequently mixing said homoeopathic preparations; (ii) mixing extracts of components (a, b and c) and forming the resultant mixture into a homoepathic composition; and (iii) preparing a first homoeopathic composition as in (i) and (ii) above (with optional additional ingredients), and further diluting said first composition to form a second homoeopathic composition.

Hydration compositions for human or animal bodies

Human Neuropeptide Y (NPY) has the formula: H-Tyr-Pro-Ser-Lys-Pro-Asp-Asn-Pro-Gly-Glu-Asp-Ala-Pro- Ala-Glu-Asp-Met-Ala-Arg-Tyr-Tyr-Ser-Ala-Leu-Arg-His-Tyr-Ile-Asn-Leu-Ile- Thr-Arg-Gln-Arg -Tyr-NH.sub.2. Porcine and rat NPY have the same sequence except for Leu instead of Met in the 17-position. Porcine PYY is homologous having 11 different residues. NPY analogs and N-terminally-shortened fragments, e.g. NPY(18-36), which contain one or more specific D-isomer substitutions for the naturally occurring residues (as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof), dispersed in a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid or solid carrier, can be administered to mammals, including humans, to substantially lower blood pressure over an extended period of time or to counteract hypertension.

NPY peptide analogs

Human Neuropeptide Y(NPY) has the formula: H-Tyr-Pro-Ser-Lys-Pro-Asp-Asn-Pro-Gly-Glu-Asp-Ala- Pro-Ala-Glu-Asp-Met-Ala-Arg-Tyr-Tyr-Ser-Ala-Leu-Arg-His-Tyr- Ile-Asn-Leu-Ile-Thr-Arg-Gln-Arg-Tyr-NH.sub.2. Porcine and rat NPY have the same sequence except for Leu instead of Met in the 17-position. Porcine PYY is homologous having 11 different residues. NPY analogs wherein the N-terminus is shortened and which may contain one or more specific subsitutions for the naturally occurring residues, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, dispersed in a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid or solid carrier, can be administered to mammals, including humans, to substantially lower blood pressure over an extended period of time or to counteract hypertension.
