Abstract

These studies were conducted to investigate the antiinflammatory effects of a herbal preparation (HemoHI$M^{\circledR})$). We used the methods of 'carrageenan induced foot edema', 'inhibition test of vascular permeability', 'inhibition test of white blood cell migration' and 'formation of granuloma' to examine the antiinflammatory effects of HemoHI$M^{\circledR})$. The oral administration (4 mg of solids/ml of drinking water) or intraperitoneal injection (50 mg/kg of body weight or 200 mg/kg of body weight) of HemoHI$M^{\circledR})$ showed antiinflammatory effect on carrageenan induced foot edema, inhibition test of vascular permeability, inhibition test of white blood cell migration and formation of granuloma. These results demonstrate a herbal preparation (HemoHI$M^{\circledR})$) possesses potent antiinflammatory effect.
