Mechanism of action

Gelsemium sempervirens contains alkaloids (gelsemine, koumine, and others) that have been studied for potential effects on the central nervous system. In homeopathic practice, it is used for anxiety, tremor, and nervous tension, though the active mechanisms at marketed homeopathic dilutions remain unestablished by conventional pharmacology. The plant extract has shown some activity in animal models related to anxiolytic and muscle relaxant properties.
