Journal/Book: Ärztezeitschrift für Naturheilverfahren. 1991; 32/9: 775-788.

Abstract: The comprehensive chapter in the Â„Textbook of Phytotherapy" by R. F. Weiß with the discussion of not less than 60 drugs but also the 57 monographies of the Commission E an drugs for the application with diseases of the alimentary canal (stomach and intestines) showed that the phytotherapy is ranking very high in case of complaints with respect to the stomach and the intestines. Adding the 13 adopted monographies dealing with drugs for the therapy of complaints with regard to the liver and the gall-bladder, about one third of the hitherto adopted monographies are in the widest sense drugs against Indigestion. The significance is not only based an self-medication but also an the wide prescription by the physicians (1, 2, 3, 4). This is also rather clearly expressed by the large number of the phytopharmaceutics which are usually prescribed and that are shown in the Rote Liste (Red List).
