Abstract: The present invention is a process of extracting canna plant leaves and the resulting two medicinal chemical compositions thus produced by the process. The process produces a first chemical composition consisting of a water-and-oil extract of dried canna plant leaves and a second chemical composition consisting of the extracted residue from this extraction process. The extract and the extracted residue may be taken orally by a patient, and the extract may also be applied topically. The process consists of extracting dried and pulverized canna plant leaves with a water-and-oil mixture by simmering the leaves in the mixture for about a day. The extract is decanted, filtered and ready for use. The remaining residue is dried, further ground, and encapsulated in gelatin capsules for ease in oral administration.
