Abstract: Medicinal plant that contain antioxidants is an alternative therapeutic option for liver disorders. This study was aimed to review the hepatoprotective effects of medicinal plants. This was a literature review study using PubMed, Google Scholar and Clinical Key. The results showed 10 hepatoprotective medicinal plants, as follows: soursop leaves, yellow bamboo shoots, moringa leaves, green betel leaves, libo fruit, kenikir, neem leaves, bitter bean seeds, black cumin, and solo garlic. All of them showed hepatoprotective activities based on the results of the tests, using biochemical and histopathological parameters. Soursop leaves could increase SOD level and reduce MDA level; yellow bamboo shoots were demonstrated to maintain SGPT activities and bilirubin level; moringa leaves have been associated with the reduction of MDA, SGOT, and SGPT levels; green betel leaves were able to reduce SGOT and SGPT levels and improve liver centrolobular necrosis; libo fruit was able to lower SGPT level; kenikir and bitter bean seeds were shown to reduce SGOT and SGPT levels; neem leaves were associated with the reduction of ALT level and protection against liver cell damage; black cumin was found to reduce fat degeneration; solo garlic could reduce MDA, SGPT, and SGOT levels, and maintain SOD level. In conclusion, the 10 hepatoprotective medicinal plants have the ability to increase SOD levels, reduce SGOT, SGPT and MDA levels, maintain bilirubin levels, regenerate centrilobular necrosis of the liver, and reduce fat degeneration of the liver. Solo garlic shows the largest amount of hepatoprotective activities, followed by yellow bamboo shoots, green betel leaves and libo fruit.Keywords: medicinal plants, hepatoprotector effect Abstrak: Pengobatan menggunakan tanaman obat yang mengandung antioksidan merupakan pilihan terapi alternatif untuk gangguan pada hati.

Background and aim: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the major causes of blindness and it has risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, smoking, or genetic characteristics. There is no certain cure for AMD till now, so it is very important to design new therapeutic agents or strategies for treatment of AMD. This literature review assessed the effects of different plants or herbal extracts on the retinal diseases such as AMD either for treatment or prevention of disease. Materials and methods: Fifteen studies were included in this literature review and assessed possible herbal treatments or preventions of AMD or its related diseases and risk factors. Results: From a wide range of medicinal plants, Artemisia annua contained artemisinin, Lycium barbarum, Fructus barbarum rich in carotenoids like zeaxanthin, Scutellaria baicalensis contained wogonin, saffron, rosemary contained carnosic acid, and Melissa officinalis are of the most important and beneficial medicinal plants that can be used for production and design of new drugs and therapeutics for AMD. They act via different mechanisms such as anti-oxidation, anti-VEGF, or anti-inflammatory actions. There are several other important herbal effective compounds for AMD, such as fisetin and luteolin that are polyphenols. Also, there are other herbal compounds such as HESA-A, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Guibi-tang (GBT), Samul-tang (SMT), and Sipjeondaebo-tang (SDT) that are contained in several different beneficial medicinal plants and their extracts for AMD. Conclusion: There is a need for more investigations on these medicinal plants and their benefits on AMD, but they can be beneficial in lowering the risk of AMD or several other retinal diseases and prevention of them. For each mechanism included in AMD pathogenesis, one or more medicinal plant is introduced in this review.

Efficacy And Safety

Ayahuasca is a drink of indigenous origin made as a decoction obtained from medicinal plants found mainly in Acre, state of Brazil, which are the leaves of Psychtoria viridis, popularly known as “chacrona” in Brazil, and the stem of Banisteriopsis caapi, commonly known as mariri or jagube. The decoction is used in religious practices for the therapy of diseases that affect the human being, such as psychological disorders, neurological, parasitic and bacterial infections. Considering the existing bioactive compounds and the therapeutic potential of ayahuasca, this study aims to carry out a literature review of scientific articles (PubMed, Scielo and LILACS) in order to gather knowledge within 30 years of study about the therapeutic potentials of ayahuasca. In the current literature, the studies focus on the area of neuropsychology, dealing with ayahuasca as a form of therapy for neurological and neuromotor disorders. In addition, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant actions have already been reported. However, new studies are still needed in these areas in order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ayahuasca and its component plant species, in order to use it as an alternative therapy, especially in the population from which the traditional knowledge about this beverage came from.

Medical Perspective

The World Health Assembly's target in exclusive breastfeeding has not been achieved. The most common factor contributing to this problem is the perceived insufficient production of breast milk, leading to the inability to give breastmilk to her child. Milk production can be increased using some ways, such as herbal galactagogue. This article aimed to review the effectiveness of some medicinal plants as galactagogues. This study uses a literature review approach by using several sources selected based on the criteria that have been set by researchers. Based on thirteen literature, herbs reviewed in this article showed positive effects as a galactagogue. Evidence regarding its efficacy and safety is scarce. Additionally, few clinical trials exist to justify its effectiveness. Further clinical trials are needed to support these findings.
