Glycyrrhiza glabra
Key Benefits
How Does It Work?
Works against Viruses to Boost Immunity
Yashtimadhu contains Glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhizic acid that show effective action to inhibit growth and cytopathology of many viruses such as Hepatitis A and C, HIV, Herpes simplex and zoster, and CMV. Metabolites in Yashtimadhu also inhibit aldosterone metabolism in the liver for pseudo-aldosterone syndrome.
Works like a steroid on Inflammation
Glycyrrhiza glabra components show action on inflammation similar to steroids like hydrocortisone to inhibit the effects of phospholipase A2, which is responsible for inflammation.
Protects the liver and Reduces Oxidation
Glycyrrhiza glabra components have relevant properties to protect the liver and reduce oxidative stress. Yashtimadhu also has isoflavones to reduce the peroxidation of lipids and lower levels of elevated liver enzymes to protect hepatic health.
Anti-Ulcer and Gastric Protective
Glycyrrhizinic acids found in Yashtimadhu increase concentrations of prostaglandin to promote the secretion of mucus and cellular proliferation in the stomach, which enhances antiulcer effects and aids in gastric mucosal protection.
