Pineapple plants contain many biologically active compounds such as saponins, triterpenoids, sterols and natural antioxidants.
These compounds play an important role in neutralizing free radicals, reducing inflammation; protecting liver cells from damage.
This is also a common group of active ingredients in herbs that support liver and kidney function.
The liver does not directly detoxify but converts toxins into easily eliminated forms.
Puppet extract helps:
Reduce AST, ALT liver enzymes
Reduced lipid peroxidation
Increase glutathione - an endogenous antioxidant.
This shows that the plant has the ability to protect liver cells from toxic agents such as chemicals or alcohol.
This plant extract can affect signal pathways related to inflammation and oxidative stress, helping the liver function more efficiently in metabolizing toxins.
On the other hand, spinning tops have diuretic properties, helping to increase urine secretion - the main route to remove waste from the body.
In folk medicine, this plant is often used to "cool the liver, diuretic, detoxify".
This plant affects the urinary system and bladder, supporting excretion through urine.
The thòng bong tree is usually used in the form of:
Decoction to drink (20-40 g dry/day);
Combined with other herbs such as corn silk, plantain;
Drink during the day to help cool down.
This use helps extract water-soluble active ingredients and is suitable for the goal of supporting the liver and kidneys.
According to the World Health Organization, herbs can play a supporting role in health care, but it is necessary to: use the correct dosage; do not replace medical treatment; should not be abused for a long time...
Thus, thòng bong plant contains many biological compounds that have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and liver cell protection capabilities. Initial studies show potential to support liver function, indirectly reducing the burden on the kidneys and supporting the detoxification process.
However, to effectively protect the liver and kidneys, it is necessary to combine a healthy diet, limit alcohol and beer, and periodically monitor health.
