Introduction

 

The liver plays a vital role in the metabolic activity of the human body. It has numerous functions e.g. manufacture and secretion of bile, maintenance of blood sugar level, regulation of protein and fat metabolism, formation of ketone bodies and plasma proteins, detoxication, Erythropoiesis etc. It is obvious from nature of the diverse functions that the diseases of the liver are bound to have an adverse effect on the entire system.

 

In developing countries malnutrition, contaminated food and water resulting in ameoebiasis, unsanitary environment and unhygienic manner of living due to illiteracy, consumption of alcohol etc. are some of the main causes of liver ailments. Those ailments include Jaundice, Hepatitis. Cirrhosis of liver which results into anorexia, mild fever, nausea and vomiting, oedema on foot, Pruritus, Debility, Anaemia and Constipation. Since our resources are somewhat limited, we need indigenous medicines free from undesirable side effects and using simpler technologies than that being utilized by the multinational drug industry, to serve our needs in the field of human health-care. An effective medicine prepared from natural ingredients should therefore find a high level of acceptance from patients in treatment of liver diseases.

Oedema was abated during the 2nd and 3rd week of the administration of “Magic Drop” Patients with hepatic enlargement were clearly and significantly benefited . Out of 35 cases hepatic enlargement 31 (i.e. 88.5%) showed an average ½ cm. reduction of enlarged liver size every 3rd day. Overall, consideration of the various symptoms, the time period of treatment and the benefits derived there from are tabulated in below :

As is apparent from Table-V, “Savliv Drop” produced a very satisfactory response in 50% of the patients suffering from hepatic disorders where as about 45% showed moderated to good improvement. A search of the Literature revealed but the various constituents of “Savliv Drop” individually have been acclaimed to have beneficial effects on various hepatic disorders. Thus citrus medica has boon cited by Daljit Singh (2) and Nadkarni (3) as a medicine for liver diseases. Efficacy of Sarji in treatment of malfunctions of the liver has been documented in Indian Materia medica (4)and by Chopra (5). Barati has been mentioned to cause significant improvement in liver problems by Daljit Singh (2) Nadkarni (3) and Chopra (5).

 

The Preparation of “Savliv Drop” which includes all of the above three ingredients thus should ovlnco no surprise because of its high efficacy in treatment of hepatic disorders. Moreover, during the study it was observed that the medicine was accepted by patients of all age groups and sexes without any toxicity. This is an Important factor since some of the available medicines contain bitter herbal glycosides, not easily accepted by some patients. As Table-V shows, approximately 5% of patients showed no response to “Savliv Drop”. It should be mentloned here that longer treatment in the improved patients may lead to almost complete recovery from existing hepatic disorders

 

Conclusion

 

In conclusion we believe that the results obtained in this study indicate that the wide acceptability, promptness in eliciting response, easy administration and high percentage of satisfactory improvement by “Savliv Drop” should recommend its use to the patients suffering from hepatic disorders.
