The presence of stones in the urinary tract is a condition that has accompanied humans since ancient times. In colonial times, this condition was known as "stone pain" and its non-surgical management was based on the use of medicines derived from plants, animals and minerals.
To contextualize a medical prescription used to modulate stone pain in the 18th century in the New Kingdom of Granada. Additionally, to analyze its components and evaluate the basis of its possible phytotherapeutic effects on the disease and pain.
Document search in the Cipriano Rodríguez Santamaría Historical Archive of the Octavio Arizmendi Posada Library at Universidad de La Sabana. The document entitled "Prescription for bladder or kidney stone pain" was analyzed, and a complementary review of current scientific literature and original texts was performed with no time limits, in order to compare this prescription to related findings in the history of medicine.
The transcription of the source document revealed several phytotherapeutic agents such as chamomile (Matricaria recutita), lilies (Lilium lancifolium), clover (Trifolium pratense), and mallow roots (Malva sylvestris), accompanied by a large amounts of water.
There is scientific evidence that could explain the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of all plant-derived medicines used in this prescription. Abundant water intake to increase urine volume was an essential part of treatment. However, the lack of more precise data related to the prescription and the evolution of the patients makes it difficult to analyze its therapeutic efficacy.
尿路结石的存在是一种自古以来就伴随着人类的病症。在殖民时期,这种病症被称为“结石疼痛”,其非手术治疗方法基于使用源自植物、动物和矿物质的药物。
将18世纪新格拉纳达王国用于缓解结石疼痛的一份医学处方置于具体情境中。此外,分析其成分并评估其对该疾病和疼痛可能产生的植物治疗效果的依据。
在萨巴纳大学奥克塔维奥·阿里斯门迪·波萨达图书馆的西普里亚诺·罗德里格斯·圣玛丽亚历史档案馆进行文献检索。对题为“膀胱或肾结石疼痛处方”的文件进行分析,并对当前科学文献和原始文本进行无时间限制的补充综述,以便将该处方与医学史上的相关发现进行比较。
原始文件的转录显示了几种植物治疗剂,如洋甘菊(母菊)、百合(卷丹)、三叶草(红车轴草)和锦葵根(圆叶锦葵),同时伴有大量饮水。
有科学证据可以解释该处方中所有植物源药物的抗炎和抗氧化作用。大量饮水以增加尿量是治疗的重要组成部分。然而,由于缺乏与该处方及患者病情演变相关的更精确数据,难以分析其治疗效果。
