ABSTRACT

Liver diseases have become a major global health challenge and may be triggered by several toxic chemicals, which include chemotherapeutic agents, thioacetamide, carbon tetrachloride, certain antibiotics, excessive alcohol consumption, and pathogenic microbes. Hence, safeguarding a healthy liver is vital for good health and well being. Despite advances in pharmacology, the demerits associated with synthetic drugs have outshined the merits. Herbal drugs are conventionally used in various parts of the world to alleviate different diseases. Many herbs have been proven to be efficient as hepatoprotective agents while many more are claimed to be hepatoprotective but be deficient in any such scientific substantiation to support such claims. Natural remedies from medicinal plants are considered to be effective and safe alternative treatment for liver toxicity. The present review is designed to summarized the hepatoprotective potential of Vajraka Ghruta.
