The Himalayan butterfly bush (Buddleja crispa) is commonly found in warm regions of South Asia, Africa, and America. This plant is known for having various medicinal applications. A group of researchers from King Saud University and Aga Khan University Medical College were able to determine that the Himalayan butterfly bush has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-platelet properties. These findings, which were published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, were based on the results of in vivo studies.
The results of the study show that Himalayan butterfly bush has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-platelet activity. It was also observed that the extracts were non-toxic to the animals. Based on these results, the researchers concluded that the Himalayan butterfly bush contains bioactive compounds, which are yet to be identified, that makes it an effective treatment for pain and inflammatory conditions.
