title: Diuretic action of aqueous Orthosiphon extract in rats.
abstract: An aqueous extract of Orthosiphonis folium, given orally, enhances considerably ion excretion in rat to a level comparable to that obtained with furosemide. No aqueretic action is observed. The increased ion excretion is not due to the potassium content of the starting material.
