La inhalación directa de la reacción producida al exponer la planta a una temperatura mayor a los 200ª Celsius, aumenta los hidrogeniones y reduce la la presencia de PO2 en el tejido cerebral, lo que genera la vasodilatación que actúa como estimulador en el proceso de sinapsis neuronal y se produce la sensación de mayor concentración durante el periodo de 20 a 30 minutos dependiendo del individuo. Aún no se han descubierto los efectos secundarios que podría causar directamente al cerebro de la persona que consuma el humo de Urtica Diotica ademas de su daño en el sistema respiratorio”

Example sentence(s):
  • Se vende ortiga brava como medicina.
  • Las tropas romanas trayeron ortigas a britania.
