Hi Verne
Coleus has an amazing number of actions. They fill pages. CyclicAMP is the one most often mentioned. Lowers BP, I think. I had a mixture of Hawthorne and Coleus for my BP and have never tasted anything like it. In "The Zone" he referrs to Coleus as his No1 herb. Though its use in heart conditions (which?) seems more equivocal. I had a very good reaction to Hydergine which also boosts cyclicAMP, so I've wondered about it. It wasn't used in Ayurveda though, dunno why. I found the taste like a mixture of bitter and menthol.
