  • Title: Boerhaavia diffusa: a study of its hepatoprotective activity.
    Author: Chandan BK, Sharma AK, Anand KK.
    Journal: J Ethnopharmacol; 1991 Mar; 31(3):299-307. PubMed ID: 2056758.
    Abstract:
    An alcoholic extract of whole plant Boerhaavia diffusa given orally exhibited hepatoprotective activity against experimentally induced carbon tetrachloride hepatotoxicity in rats and mice. The extract also produced an increase in normal bile flow in rats suggesting a strong choleretic activity. The extract does not show any signs of toxicity up to an oral dose of 2 g/kg in mice.
