Ethnopharmacology of selected Herbal plants used in Hypolipidemic complications
Journal Title: The Journal of Phytopharmacology - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The plant kingdom is a wide field to search for natural effective oral hypolipidemic agents that have slight or no side effects. The search for natural substances with hypolipidemic effects is therefore desirable, particularly in countries with a persistent incidence of hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular diseases. The consumption of synthetic drugs leads to hyperurecemia, diarrhoea, nausea, myositis, gastric irritation, flushing, dry skin and abnormal liver function. More recent ethnopharmacological studies shows these plants used in many parts of the world for the treatment of a number of diseases, e.g. as an hepatoprotective, hypotensive, hyperglycaemic, dibetes, antioxidant, antiinflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-tumor etc.
