[ ] pharmacological effects of Salsola tragus decoction, alcohol extract, water extract to the anesthetized animal intravenous administration to make blood pressure decreased significantly, in anesthetized cats beat frequency and amplitude without influence on both sides at the same time, severing vagus or cutting of sympathetic still cannot change its hypotensive effect. In the leaves of blossom fruit gatherers were shown during the hypotensive effect of.
