Ethnobotany and Diuretic activity of some selected medicinal plants
Journal Title: The Journal of Phytopharmacology - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
There is growing interest in the health benefits of herbs and botanicals. In line with this there are an increasing number of published articles claiming that plants or plant-derived actives may function as mild diuretic agents. Diuretics are substances that act within the kidney and promote the loss of fluid from the body. A large majority of this research has determined the degree of clinical support for the traditional use of common or folklore medicines.
