Abstract
Liver diseases are among the most serious aliment. They may be classified as acute or chronic hepatitis (Inflammatory Liver Diseases), hepatitis (Non-Inflammatory Diseases) and cirrhosis (degenerative disorder resulting in fibrosis of the liver). Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) has been widely used in animal models to investigate chemical toxin-induced liver damage. The most remarkable pathological characteristics of CCl4 induced hepatotoxicity are fatty liver, cirrhosis and necrosis. CCl4 (20 micro 1/kg) induced hepatotoxicity, manifested biochemically by significant elevation of serum enzymes activities, such alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate amino transferase(AST) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) . Phototherapy is the treatment and prevention of diseases using plants or plants part, such as leaves, flowers, roots, fruits, seeds, and rhizomes. Preparation made from them called medicinal plants, or herbs. Many plants were suggested to ameliorate or care the liver diseases, among them were the Dates palm, Echinacea purpurea and black seeds.
