Abstract

This review article contributes to clarifying the pharmacological properties of Eclipta alba (Bhringarāja) which is traditionally used in medicaments in so many countries such as Sri Lanka, India, China, Brazil, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Nepal, Malaysia, Myanmar, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Pakistan, etc. Pharmaceutical products containing Eclipta alba have been used for different kinds of diseases and Bhringarāja had been mentioned in different types of prescriptions; especially in Samhitha Grantha. The main objective of this literature review is a discussion about pharmacological activities of Eclipta alba (Bhringarāja) and to provide an integrated, synthesized overview of the current state of knowledge on Eclipta alba (Bhringarāja) with Ayurvedic and traditional medical knowledge. The systemic literature review was carried out to gather authentic information on Eclipta alba (Bhringarāja). Relevant data for this study were gathered from Ayurveda textbooks, research papers, peer-reviewed indexed scientific journals, and authentic websites. Eclipta alba (Bhringarāja) is a small branched perennial herb, found in sandy and clay soils (waterlogged areas). Research article shows that Eclipta alba (Bhringarāja) has numerous medicinal properties such as Hepatoprotective, Hair growthpromoting, Antidiabetic, Analgesic, Anti-Inflammatory, Neuropharmacological, Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, Cardiovascular, Immunomodulatory, Anti-epilepsy, Anti-venom, Anticancer, Antiulcer, Anthelmintic and Anti- hyperlipedic properties. The reason for these properties is stated to be its major chemical compounds such as wedelolactone, dimethyl wedeloctone, ecliptal, etc. I found through this research that most of the therapeutic actions such as Śōthara, Vedanāsthāpana, Vraṇaśodhana, Vraṇarōpaṇa, Savarṇakaraṇa, Chakshushya, Keśavardhana, Keśaranjana, etc. have been mentioned in Samhitha Grantha and Ayurveda pharmacopeia. Those actions have been confirmed by modern laboratory tests, clinical trials, and animal trials. Keywords: Eclipta alba, Bhringarāja, Ayurveda, Pharmacological activities.

Eclipta alba（Keekirindiya-Bhringarāja）药理活性综述

这篇综述文章旨在阐明 Eclipta alba（Bhringarāja）的药理特性，斯里兰卡、印度、中国、巴西、泰国、印度尼西亚、菲律宾、尼泊尔、马来西亚、缅甸、日本、韩国、香港、巴基斯坦等许多国家传统上都将其用于药物中。含有 Eclipta alba 的药物产品被用于治疗各种疾病，Bhringarāja 在不同类型的处方中都有提及，尤其是在 Samhitha Grantha 中。本文献综述的主要目的是讨论白屈菜（Eclipta alba，Bhringarāja）的药理活性，并结合阿育吠陀和传统医学知识，对白屈菜（Eclipta alba，Bhringarāja）的知识现状进行综合概述。本研究通过系统的文献综述来收集有关白屈菜（Eclipta alba (Bhringarāja)）的真实信息。本研究的相关数据来自阿育吠陀教科书、研究论文、同行评审索引科学期刊和真实网站。Eclipta alba（Bhringarāja）是一种多年生小枝草本植物，生于沙土和粘土（涝地）中。研究文章显示，Eclipta alba（Bhringarāja）具有多种药用特性，如保护肝脏、促进毛发生长、抗糖尿病、镇痛、抗炎、神经药理学、抗氧化、抗菌、心血管、免疫调节、抗癫痫、抗毒、抗癌、抗溃疡、驱虫和抗高血脂等特性。据说，这些特性的原因是其主要化学成分，如蟛蜞菊内酯、二甲基蟛蜞菊内酯、枇杷叶内酯等。通过研究，我发现大多数治疗作用，如 Śōthara、Vedanāsthāpana、Vraṇaśodhana、Vraṇarōpaṇa、Savarṇakaraṇa、Chakshushya、Keśavardhana、Keśaranjana 等，在 Samhitha Grantha 和 Ayurveda 药典中都有提及。这些作用已被现代实验室测试、临床试验和动物试验所证实。关键词白黄夹竹、Bhringarāja、阿育吠陀、药理活性。
