Livopleen Syrup by Devendra Ayurved Ashram

100 mL: ₹75 · 200 mL: ₹140

Livopleen Syrup is an Ayurvedic liver and spleen tonic. Its Hindi गुणधर्म lists enlarged liver and spleen, Pandu-Kamala (anaemia with jaundice), painful urination, accumulated stool, weak digestion and low blood.

Pleehari (Sarpunkha), Kakmachi, Kasni, Giloy, Punarnava and Rohitak — the classical liver-and-spleen herbs — are steam-distilled with Anantmool, Pittpapra, Kalmegh and Kutki, plus a little Narsar.

Used for

  • Sluggish or enlarged liver
  • Enlarged spleen
  • Jaundice with anaemia (Pandu-Kamala)
  • Weak digestion & constipation

Why the liver gets sluggish

The liver processes everything you eat and drink and makes the bile that digests fat. Infections, fatty change, alcohol and some medicines inflame it and slow bile flow, so appetite falls, digestion weakens and the bowels slow; the liver and spleen can swell, and anaemia can follow.

Ayurveda links the liver (Yakrit) and spleen (Pleeha) to Rakta and Pitta. When Pitta is disturbed and the channels are blocked, bile stagnates (Kamala) and the blood thins (Pandu). Treatment uses bitter, Pitta-clearing herbs that open the channels and support the blood.

Livopleen supports the liver in 3 ways

  • Hepatoprotective & Choleretic (Yakrituttejaka) — Kalmegh's andrographolide and Kutki's picrosides protect liver cells and increase bile flow in animal studies; chicory lowered liver enzymes in a meta-analysis of small trials in fatty liver.
  • Liver & Spleen Herbs (Yakrit-pleehahara) — Pleehari (Sarpunkha), Rohitak and Kakmachi are Ayurveda's classical herbs for an enlarged liver and spleen, hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory in experimental studies.
  • Cooling & Diuretic (Pittashamaka, Mutrala) — Punarnava is diuretic, and Anantmool, Pittpapra and Giloy are cooling blood purifiers in Ayurveda, with anti-inflammatory activity in experimental studies.

Key ingredients

  • Sarpunkha (Tephrosia purpurea, whole plant) — 250 mg. Traditionally used for an enlarged liver and spleen and in Ayurvedic liver preparations. Its flavonoids (quercetin, rutin) and triterpenoids are antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and its extract lessened arsenic-induced liver damage in rats.
  • Kakmachi (Makoy) (Solanum nigrum, whole plant) — 250 mg. Black nightshade, used in Ayurveda and Unani medicine for an enlarged liver and spleen and for swelling. Its steroidal glycoalkaloids, saponins and polyphenols are hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant in experimental studies.
  • Kasni (Chicory) (Cichorium intybus, root) — 250 mg. Chicory, a Unani and Ayurvedic liver herb rich in inulin, sesquiterpene lactones and phenolic acids. In a meta-analysis of five small trials in fatty liver disease, chicory lowered the liver enzymes ALT and AST.
  • Kalmegh (Andrographis paniculata, whole plant) — 125 mg. The 'king of bitters'. Its diterpene andrographolide protects liver cells by curbing oxidative stress and inflammation (NF-κB and Nrf2 pathways) and increased bile flow in animal studies — more potently than silymarin. Ayurveda uses it for Kamala and poor appetite.
  • Kutki (Katuki) (Picrorhiza kurroa, rhizome) — 62.5 mg. A Himalayan bitter for the liver and Kamala (jaundice). Its iridoid glycosides (picroside I and II, kutkoside) are hepatoprotective, choleretic and anti-inflammatory in experimental studies.
  • Rohitak (Desert teak) (Tecomella undulata, stem bark) — 250 mg. Desert-teak bark, Ayurveda's classical remedy for an enlarged spleen and liver (Pleeha-yakrit vriddhi). It is hepatoprotective, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory in experimental studies, though these effects are only partly validated.
  • Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa, whole plant) — 250 mg. Its name means 'renews the body'. Ayurveda uses it for swelling (Shotha), the kidneys and the liver; its rotenoids and flavonoids are diuretic, anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective in experimental studies.
  • Giloy (Guduchi) (Tinospora cordifolia, stem) — 250 mg. A Rasayana for chronic fever and immunity. Its polysaccharides, alkaloids and diterpenoids are immunomodulatory, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory in experimental studies. Rare liver injury has been reported, possibly from mis-identified Tinospora species.
  • Anantmool (Indian sarsaparilla) (Hemidesmus indicus, root) — 250 mg. Ayurveda's classic Raktashodhaka for skin, urine and fever. Its root carries 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde and saponins, with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial and hepatoprotective activity in experimental studies.
  • Pittpapra (Fumitory) (Fumaria officinalis, whole plant) — 125 mg. Fumitory, Ayurveda's classic cooling herb for fever, thirst and Pitta, and a Unani blood purifier. Its isoquinoline alkaloids are smooth-muscle relaxant, anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective in experimental studies.
