TLDR Eclipta prostrata has many health benefits, including protecting the liver, fighting cancer, and reducing inflammation.
Eclipta prostrata was traditionally used as medicine and hair fertilizer, with applications in treating liver disorders, respiratory issues, and baldness. The study reviewed literature to explore its bioactivities, which included neuroprotection, anti-cancer, anti-diabetes, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective, anti-osteoporosis, and anti-hypercholesterolemia effects. These bioactivities were linked to secondary metabolites like echinocystic acid and ecclalbasaponin II, particularly for anti-cancer properties.
