Phyllanthus has a long tradition of use in the Hindu Ayurvedic system of medicine and it has long been used as a medicinal agent in cultures around the world. It is usually found in central and southern India, where it can grow from one to two feet in height and have blooms with many yellow flowers. Phyllanthus can also be found in many other countries including the Philippines, Cuba, Nigeria and Guam.
Traditionally, phyllanthus has been used to treat jaundice, gonorrhea, frequent menstruation, dysentery and diabetes. It has also been used topically as a treatment for skin ulcers, sores, swelling, and itchiness. Modern research with phyllanthus focuses on its potential for fighting viruses, specifically the hepatitis B virus. Presented at the 3rd International Congress on Phytomedicine in Munich, a laboratory study reported that phyllanthus seems to have the ability to inhibit two of the pro-inflammatory enzymes, making it potentially useful in the fight against inflammatory diseases such as arthritis. It has been used traditionally in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine for liver, kidney and gastrointestinal health, as well as supporting healthy glucose metabolism.
