Pharmacognostical and Physico-chemical studies of few herbs used in the treatment of liver disorders

Abstract

Liver disorders are very common now-a-days due to social and status life
style of human beings. A number of modern medicines are available in
the market but have various adverse effects. Traditional system of
medicine is so ingrained in our culture that, about 80% of the Indian
population depends on this system for relief. With such a huge section of
an ever increasing population relying on herbal remedies, it is imperative
that the plant products which have been in use for such a long time be
scientifically supported for their efficacy. The present paper deals with
the investigation of pharmacognostical and physicochemical parameters
of AI: Abutilon indicum(Leaves), PN: Phyllanthus niruri (Fruits), EA:
Eclipta alba (Leaves) and AS: Allium sativa (Bulb). In these study
physicochemical parameters, extraction and preliminary photochemical
screening was reported.
