Palo Guaco has been shown to relax the smooth muscles in the respiratory tract. During inhalation air flows down the trachea through the bronchiole tubes into the bronchioles. There, the air terminates at the alveoli to exchange O2 and CO2 in the blood. The presence of smooth muscles and elastin allow the smaller bronchi and bronchioles to be more flexible and contractile. The main function of the bronchi and bronchioles is to carry air from the trachea into the lungs. Smooth muscle tissue in their walls helps to regulate airflow into the lungs.
Palo Guaco also possesses antiviral properties. It contains six star constituents such as mikanin and alphinetin that exhibit inhibitory activity to viruses especially respiratory viruses.
