Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), though not considered a serious disease, can graduate to an inflamed liver and possibly death. The extract of the Asian water plantain (Alisma orientale) was found in a study, published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine to protect the liver from the potentially harmful effects of NAFLD.
The researchers concluded that the extract of the Asian water plantain has anti-steatosis effects on NEFA-induced NAFLD.
