Real Testimonial

Dear Dr. Chauhan,

I am a diabetic with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and, until a few weeks ago, liver enlargement. Because of this I had lost my appetite, I had nausea, a heavy sensation in my abdomen, skin rashes and multiple allergies. Because of my liver problems my blood sugar levels went higher and my diabetes was more difficult to control.

When I started taking Madhumehantak Churna for diabetes and Yakrit Plihantak Churna for liver ailments I noticed an immediate relief. After one month I had reduced my insulin requirements a great deal. My liver was no longer sligthly enlarged. My appetite was back and my nausea gone. My skin rashes cleared up completely and I have had no allergies since. My liver is not as fatty anymore. I do not dare to be without these products. They may have saved my life even.

Thank you very much----."40 year old female user in Sweden."- 19/06/07

Phyllanthus amarus (Bhumyaamalaki): a variety of phyllanthus niruri -

Phyllanthus has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 2,000 years and has a wide number of traditional uses. Phyllanthus blocks DNA polymerase, the enzyme needed for the hepatitis B virus to reproduce. Fifty-nine percent of those infected with chronic viral hepatitis B lost one of the major blood markers of HBV infection (e.g., hepatitis B surface antigen) after using phyllanthus for thirty days. (1,2)

The Phyllanthus genus encompasses more than 600 species, found throughout the tropics and subtropics, including central and southern India

Efficacy of Phyllanthus amarus treatment in acute viral hepatitis A, B and non A non B: an open clinical trial.
Authors: Jayaram, S; Thyagarajan, SP; Sumathi, S; Manjula, S; Malathi, S; & Madanagopalan, N
BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Indian-Journal-of-Virology. 1997, 13: 1, 59-64; 12 references

The efficacy of an Indian medicinal plant, P. amarus to treat acute viral hepatitis (AVH) was evaluated in parallel with another drug Essentiale (an essential phospholipid extracted from soyabean oil) and compared with a group of patients who were treated symptomatically with vitamins as the control. Serological profile of 93 sporadic AVH cases of the study showed that 25.8% had an acute infection due to hepatitis A virus (HAV), 52.6% suffered due to hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection, while 19.3% of cases were classified as non-A non-B hepatitis (NANB) by exclusion. On follow-up of the patients at the end of treatment period of 4 weeks with each respective drug regimen, it was seen that both P. amarus and Essentiale brought about significant biochemical and clinical normalcy among the HAV infected patients compared with the control group. In acute HBV group, P. amarus-treated patients recovered faster than the Essentiale-treated group and the controls. Essentiale helped the non-A non-B hepatitis patients to resume biochemical normalcy earlier than the other treatments. It was suggested that P. amarus seemed to accelerate the clearance of hepatitis B surface antigen in 86.9% of convalescing AVH-B cases after 3 months time as against 48.0% in the Essentiale treated group and 50% in the controls.

Herbal medicines for liver diseases in India.

Thyagarajan S, Jayaram S, Gopalakrishnan V, Hari R, Jeyakumar P, Sripathi M.

The use of natural remedies for the treatment of liver diseases has a long history, starting with the Ayurvedic treatment, and extending to the Chinese, European and other systems of traditional medicines. The 21st century has seen a paradigm shift towards therapeutic evaluation of herbal products in liver diseases by carefully synergizing the strengths of the traditional systems of medicine with that of the modern concept of evidence-based medicinal evaluation, standardization of herbal products and randomized placebo controlled clinical trials to support clinical efficacy. The present review provides the status report on the scientific approaches made to herbal preparations used in Indian systems of medicine for the treatment of liver diseases. In spite of the availability of more than 300 preparations for the treatment of jaundice and chronic liver diseases in Indian systems of medicine using more than 87 Indian medicinal plants, only four terrestrial plants have been scientifically elucidated while adhering to the internationally acceptable scientific protocols. In-depth studies have proved Sylibum marianum to be anti-oxidative, antilipidperoxidative, antifibrotic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulating and liver regenerative. Glycyrrhiza glabra has been shown to be hepatoprotective and capable of inducing an indigenous interferon. Picrorhiza kurroa is proved to be anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective and immunomodulatory. Extensive studies on Phyllanthus amarus have confirmed this plant preparation as being anti-viral against hepatitis B and C viruses, hepatoprotective and immunomodulating, as well as possessing anti-inflammatory properties. For the first time in the Indian systems of medicine, a chemo-biological fingerprinting methodology for standardization of P. amarus preparation has been patented.

Andrographis paniculata (The Creat, Kalmegh):

Andrographis paniculata Nees (Acanthaceae), the Kalmegh of Ayurveda is an erect annual herb extremely bitter in taste in each and every part of the plant body. The plant is known in north-eastern India as ‘Maha-tita’, literally ‘king of bitters’

The major constituents in andrographis are diterpene lactones known as andrographolides. These bitter constituents are believed to have immune-stimulating, anti-inflammatory, fertility-decreasing, liver-protective, and bile secretion-stimulating actions.
