Little-known perungalli herb from India shows powerful anti-inflammatory effects in latest clinical trials: NewsTarget.com

A new Indian study has found that the herb Plumeria acuminate -- commonly known as perungalli and widely used in Ayurvedic medicine -- may be a potent treatment for both acute and chronic inflammation.

Researchers from Jadavpur University in Kolkata and ASN Pharmacy college tested the effectiveness of a methanol extract of Plumeria acuminate (MEPA) on both acute and chronic inflammation in laboratory rats.

The researchers found that the rats with acute inflammation that were treated with MEPA experienced an average 36 percent reduction of inflammation. The rats with chronic inflammation that were treated with MEPA experienced a reduction in the formation of granuloma tissue -- firm nodules or masses that form as a result of chronic inflammation -- of 45 percent.
