Picrorhiza
Picrorhiza kurroa is most often known by its Sanskrit name, Kutki, an herb used in Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine. It contains two iridoid glycoside molecules, picroside I and picroside II, which are the source of inhibitory, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective characteristics of picrorhiza. The plant’s highly hepatoprotective or protective qualities protect the liver due to its iridoid glycoside content if consumed before or after exposure to a toxin.
Furthermore, this herb can be used as a home remedy for liver pain associated with various illnesses. It has been shown as an effective treatment for hepatitis viruses. It prevents free radical damage, stimulates bile production, and has a beneficial effect on liver function. Moreover, its protective abilities are effective in managing liver disease. It is proven to have more potent protective abilities than death cap mushroom, Tylenol, and silymarins, the active ingredient in milk thistle supplements.
This herb may be used for a month as a home remedy if you take a spoonful of the powdered form twice a day with raw honey. A mixture of picrorhiza, honey, and a cup of warm water is recommended for relieving abdominal pain. Blend well and consume twice or three times a day.
