SALEP (Arab. sahleb, Gr. 6pxts)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 66 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SALEP (Arab. sahleb, Gr. 6pxts) , a
drug
  extensively used in
oriental
  countries as a nervine restorative and fattener, and also much prescribed in paralytic affections. It probably owed its
original
  popularity to the belief in the "
doctrine
  of signatures."
It is not used in
European
 
medicine
 . It consists of the tuberous roots of various
species
  of Orchis and Eulophia, which are decorticated, washed, heated until horny in
appearance
 , and then dried. Its most important constituent is a mucilaginous substance which it yields with cold
water
  to the extent of 48%.
