Abstract
|
|
|
|
Diarrhoea is a major health care problem in developing countries. Elettaria cardamomum Maton fruits, commonly known as cardamom are widely used for flavoring purposes in food. In this study we evaluated the antidiarrhoeal activity of hot water extract of cardamom against experimental diarrhoeal models on mice. Cardamom extract showed significant antidiarrhoeal activity against castor oil and magnesium sulphate induced models. Whereas, the gastrointestinal motility was slightly increased.
