Many of the everyday drugs that people use, and all the toxic influences and unhealthy food lead to some form of liver disorder. That is why today¡¯s attention is drawn to the potentials of a few miracle plants that have the ability to reduce or cure liver damage. Equisetum, Lycopodium and Gentiana genera species are well known homeopathic plants in the Northern Hemisphere. Their properties are used in many disorders, and in the recent studies they are tested for their microbiological and hepatic curative actions. %K hepatoprotective %K Gentiana %K Equisetum %K Lycopodium %K microbiological activity %U http://www.bioresearch.ro/bioresearch/2012-2/116-122-AUOFB.19.2.2012-SUCIU.M.-Review.Hepatoprotective.pdf
