Abstract
Herbal medicines are now used by up to 50% of the Western population, in a substantial minority of instances for the treatment or prevention of digestive disorders. Although most indications for the use of such remedies are anecdotally or traditionally derived, controlled trials suggest some benefits for ginger in nausea and vomiting, liquorice extracts in peptic ulceration, Chinese herbal medicine in irritable bowel syndrome, opium derivatives in diarrhoea and senna, ispaghula and sterculia in constipation. The aim of the recent research was to study the chemical, technological and nutritional quality of some functional foods, Sixty Sprague-Dawley white albino rats, each one weighing 180-200 g were used in this study. The rats were treated subcutaneous injection (2ml/kg) with carbon tetrachloride (Ccl4) in olive oil 50% (v/v) twice weekly for four months to induce liver cancer. All rats were fed on the basal diet for 15 consecutive days before the beginning of the experiment. The rats were divided into two main groups (1) normal fed on basal diet only, as a control negative (-ve) and (2) liver cancer group include the rats were treated with (Ccl4), this group was further subdivided into 9 subgroups each group consists four healthy rats. This study was used two plants (onion and garlic), which were used as individually and mixture of them to form functional diets for treating liver cancer.
