Boldo
is an evergreen shrubby tree that grows between 6 to 8 meters
in height. It is found in the Andean regions of Peru and Chile.
.The use of Boldo or Peumus Boldus by Indigenous people of the
Andes has been widely documented. For many years the fruit has
been eaten as a spice, also used as an anthelmintic against
worms.
In parts of Peru the leaves are used by indigenous tribes against
liver diseases, for gallstones treatments and as a diuretic.
Early researchers verified that the use of Boldo leaves by the
indigenous people had diuretic effects, somatic, and cholagogic
properties. Boldo has primarily been used as a form of herbal
medicine, mainly in the cure of gallbladder ailments.
Rich in phytochemicals, Peumus Boldo has at least 17 known alkaloids.
A total of at least 38 phytochemical compounds have been identified.
The Choleretic activity of the plant has been attributed to
the aporphine alkaloid, boldine uric acid excretory, antipyretic,
and anti-inflammatory shown to stimulate digestion and specifically
to stimulate the production of bile and its secretion from the
gall bladder and the secretion of gastric juice.
