The invention relates to an application of total glycosides of 
verbena in the preparation of medicines for controlling cerebral 
ischemia. So a problem of the preparation of the medicines for controlling cerebral 
ischemia can be effectively solved. A technical scheme for solving the problem comprises the following steps: 1, crushing a medicinal material 
verbena, adding with 
ethanol, immersing, carrying out refluxing extraction, carrying out reduced pressure 
distillation for 
ethanol recovery until no 
alcohol flavor, concentrating to the 
relative density of 1.20 (60DEG C), adding with water, allowing to stand for a night, adjusting the pH value, and carrying out low temperature and reduced pressure concentration on a filtrate to obtain an extraction concentrate of 
verbena; and 2, carrying out wet column-packing with a macroporous adsorption resin, adsorbing for 12h with the blade 
diameter length ratio of a column of 1:8, eluting impurities with water, then eluting with 
ethanol, collecting an ethanol eluate, carrying out reduced pressure concentration, 
drying, and crushing to obtain the total glycosides of verbena. The total glycosides of verbena allows problem of the realization of controlling cerebral 
ischemia through preparing the medicines for treating cerebral ischemia to be effectively solved. A method for preparing the total glycosides of verbena which has the advantages of simplicity, abundant 
raw material, good application effect and allows a usage problem of treating cerebral ischemia to be effectively solved is an innovation in the field of traditional Chinese medicines.
