Rauvolfia serpentina cream for medicinal use

Rauvolfia serpentina cream is a topical herbal preparation derived from the roots of the Rauvolfia serpentina plant, commonly known as Indian snakeroot.

This cream is traditionally used in herbalism to treat conditions such as hypertension and anxiety due to its active compound, reserpine. The preparation is applied externally to the skin, often on the wrists or temples, to help calm the nervous system and reduce blood pressure. It is valued for its natural sedative and antihypertensive properties.

However, it should be used with caution and under the guidance of a qualified herbalist or healthcare provider.
