fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is known as a chronic metabolic disorder that
affect on the liver function. Besides the prevalence of NAFLD is increasing

treatment. Hence the present study aimed to evaluate the effect infusions of
Melissa officinal, cinnamon, nettle, chicory and artichoke on liver function.

The present
study was designed as a before-after clinical trial that was conducted on 21
patients with NAFLD. All participants were asked to use the tea bags of extract
plant mixture twice a day for one month. The biochemical parameters evaluation
including cholesterol, triglycerides, alanine amino transferase (ALT),
aspartate amino transferase (AST), alkaline transferase (ALP) of individual’s
blood sample were preformed. Additionally, ultrasonographic examinations in
order to determine the grade of fatty liver were applied. The results before
and after intervention were analyzed by descriptive tests (meanSD), paired
t-test, Pearson and chi-square.

The results
revealed that the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides and liver enzymes
including ALT, AST, and ALP have been decreased significantly after consumption
of plant extract mixture tea. The ultrasonographic investigation indicated
fatty liver grade has been decreased significantly following intervention.

In conclusion
the results suggest that the use of tea bag of plant extracts mixture have
brought positive effects on liver function and NAFLD prevention.
