摘要: Botanicals have been used traditionally by herbalists and indigenous healers worldwide for the prevention treatment of liver disease. Clinical research in this century has confirmed efficacy several plants Basic scientific uncovered mechanisms which some afford their therapeutic effects. Silybum marianum (milk thistle) shown to clinical applications toxic hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis, ischemic injury, radiation toxicity, viral hepatitis via its antioxidative, anti-lipid peroxidative, antifibrotic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulating, regenerating Picrorhiza kurroa, though less well researched than Silybum, appears similar action.
