A BRIEF REVIEW ON THE ROLE OF BETA VULGARIS, PHYLLANTHUS EMBLICA AND PIPER NIGRUM IN TREATMENT OF ANAEMIA
Saloni Desai* and Chirag Desai
ABSTRACT
Anaemia is a prominent cause of health problems in many countries. It is a significant public health problem and the second leading cause of death and hospital admissions, respectively. Anaemia can be identified by low haemoglobin levels. In 75% of cases, anaemia, the most frequent consequence of liver cirrhosis, is present. A significant clinical consequence of anaemia is hepatomegaly. For thousands of years, anaemia has been empirically treated with herbal treatments. Even though taking an iron supplement is undoubtedly beneficial, there are some negative effects, such as gastrointestinal problems like nausea, constipation, vomiting, and discoloured teeth. The majority of populations use nutritional supplements and natural therapies to treat anaemic diseases. When compared to current medications, herbal therapy has a long history of use in the treatment and prevention of illnesses, including anaemia. All of the herbal solutions that are currently offered are mostly produced in liquid dose with a high concentration of active components. Therefore, there is a considerable but incomplete assessment of the risk of harmful drug-supplement interactions. In order to prevent harmful long-term consequences or immunological modulations, polyherbal formulations need to have fewer components. Therefore, it takes an hour to construct a polyherbal mixture with the fewest possible plants and the most medicinal potential. This review focuses on three medicinal plants, namely beta vulgaris, Phyllanthus emblica, and piper nigrum, along with their ethnopharmacological status, which are employed for the treatment of anaemia. This review article will provide more opportunities to rethink over utilising lesser herbs with greater efficacy might become better option in future.
