“The protective effect observed against two hepatotoxins (paracetamol and galactosamine) which are different in their mechanisms of inducing hepatotoxicity, suggests broader and non-specific protection of the liver against these two toxins by
1non-bitter components of Swertia chirata” .
“Aqueous extraction of the intact plant provided an acidic arabinogalactan, which was characterized chemically, and its effects on peritoneal macrophage activation were determined. In immunological studies, the arabinogalactan stimulated superoxide anion production, when tested using peritoneal macrophages of mice, but did not interfere with the nitric oxide pathway. Thus, traditional aqueous extraction methods, such as decoction and infusion, provide a major polysaccharide,
2 which stimulates an intense biological response in macrophages” .The beneficial use of phyllanthus niruri in the treatment of 3 4Kamala has been described in Arogyakalpadrumam , Sahasrayogam .
“Following CCl(4) administration hydroxy proline (HP) was significantly increased and serum enzyme levels were elevated. Treatment with the ethanol extract of Piper longum Linn. reduced the HP and also the serum enzymes. The liver weight that increased following CCl(4) administration due to the deposition of collagen was reduced by the ethanol extract. Hence, it is
5concluded that this extract inhibits liver fibrosis induced by CCl(4)” . The use of Drakshadi leham having piper longum as an 6ingredient in treating Kamala has been described in Ashtangahridaya Pandurogachikitsa .
