Meniran

Meniran, perhaps society at large has to know how the form of this plant. Meniran (Phyllantus niruri) is a bush plant that grows easily in tropical regions like Indonesia. Appearances can plant shrubs such as common, but did you know that power meniran as medicinal plant? Almost all parts of the plant have medicinal meniran. A lot of literature showing that hereditary meniran believed to cure the diseases associated with bile duct and efficacious to reduce the number of hepatitis B virus is found in the blood. Recent research states that meniran have immunomodulatory activity. Immunomodulatory role makes the immune system more active in carrying out its functions, strengthen the immune system (immunostimulatory) or suppress the immune system over-reaction (imunosuppressan). Thus, immunity or our immune system is always optimal, so stay healthy when attacked by viruses, bacteria and other microbes. Useful chemical constituents of meniran is flavonoids. In other plant flavonoid actually exist, the difference in activity meniran penigkatan immune system was better. As an immunomodulator, meniran not solely an effect to increase the immune system, but also suppress the immune system when its activity berlabihan. If the immune system activity decreases, the content of flavonoids in meniran will transmit intracellular signals at the receptor cell to increase its activity. Conversely, if the immune system works too much, then meniran efficacious in reducing the immune system works. Thus, functioning as a counterweight meniran immune system.
