Egyptian researchers examined the efficiency of water extracts from edible medicinal plants used to treat kidney stones, against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced nephrotoxicity. Their study was published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that the edible medicinal plants they studied, especially A. visnaga, are promising treatments for nephrotoxicity and other chronic diseases associated with oxidative stress and inflammation.
