Abstract
Prasachandaeng remedy is one of the traditional herbal formulations included in the Thailand National List of Essential Medicines. It consists of twelve medicinal herbs and is traditionally used to relieve fever (toxic fever) and alleviate internal heat and thirst. In addition, pharmacological studies have been conducted on its antipyretic and anti-inflammatory activities through the inhibition of nitric oxide (NO), as well as its antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria using a 95% ethanol extract of the Prasachandaeng formulation. Furthermore, its safety regarding liver function has been investigated using Prasachandaeng powder.
