Psidium guajava
Psidium guajava • MyrtaceaeGuava leaves are effective in preventing diarrhea and reducing abdominal pain due to their antimicrobial and astringent properties.
The extract exhibits antimicrobial activity against common diarrheal pathogens and inhibits smooth muscle contractions in the gut.

False Daisy / भृंगराज
Eclipta prostrata • AsteraceaeTraditionally used to aid in the treatment of jaundice, promoting liver function and helping to reduce bilirubin levels.
While specifically linked papers for jaundice are not provided, Eclipta prostrata's traditional use stems from its known hepatoprotective properties, which are believed to support liver detoxification and bile flow, crucial for managing jaundice. Further direct research is needed.
Chinaberry, Persian Lilac, Indian Lilac / बकाइन, ध्रेक
Melia azedarach • MeliaceaeBakain has been traditionally used in the treatment of jaundice, as documented in various ethnobotanical studies describing its use by local communities.
Ethnobotanical records indicate traditional use for jaundice, suggesting potential hepatoprotective or choleretic activities. The mechanisms may involve compounds that support liver function or aid in bilirubin metabolism, but direct pharmacological studies are required.
