It inhibits the voltage-dependent neuronal sodium channels, which in turn enhances a chemical messenger (intracellular cGMP levels) in the brain. This increases blood flow within the brain, preventing the destruction of never cells (neurons) and protecting the brain. It also has an antioxidant property, which works by oxidizing the free radicals (toxins) in the body.
