TO RESOLVE TOXICITY OF:
Burbur Pinella is a combination of two extracts: Burbur, produced from Desmodium molliculum, and Pinella, produced from Pimpinella anisum; both perennial plants from South America. The herb in Burbur has been traditionally used for its body cleansing properties. It is very effective in aiding detoxification of the liver, kidneys, lymphatic system and the ground matrix. Pinella is reported to be very effective in eliminating both man-made and biotoxins from the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. Burbur and Pinella are both integral components of the Cowden Support Program, a Lyme disease protocol developed by Wm. Lee Cowden, MD. The combination of Burbur and Pinella is very effective when a Herxheimer-like reaction is suspected.

Establishment of the Potential Anti-inflammatory Effect of the product known as Burbur. The study demonstrated that Burbur had a marked anti-inflammatory effect and was 60% as effective as Feldene, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug also known as PIROXICAM. University of Guayaquil, Department of Chemical Sciences, Guayaquil, Ecuador (2005) Full Article
An acute oral toxicity study was conducted by the University of Guayaquil, Ecuador concluding that Burbur did not produce toxic effects, thus the product is considered practically innocuous for humans when administered in the acute form. Therefore; studies of acute toxicity at higher doses in humans are not necessary. Full Article

Chemical composition and antioxidant activity of four aniseed populations (Egyptian, Serbian, Tunisian and Turkish) were investigated during three developmental stages. The highest oil yield was achieved at full maturity in all aniseed accessions ranged from 11.93% (Serbia) to 13.80% (Tunisia). Fatty acid profile of aniseed oil was characterized by high proportions of palmitic (4.90–57.18%) and petroselinic (10.48–46.60%) acids which had an antagonist evolution during maturation.

Cancer incidence is much lower in India than in western countries. The reason is not fully understood, but the high spice consumption could be one of the contributing factors. Anise is one of the plants grows in India and people from our region believe that anise seeds are helpful in cancer prevention and treatment. In this study, anticancer activity of ethanol extract of anise (Pimpinella anisum L.) seed was investigated.

Because Pimpinella anisum is highly used in the folk medicine, a study of its physiological properties was deemed necessary and informative. At present, the mechanisms involved in the relaxant action induced by the extract of Pimpinella anisum are poorly understood. This work aimed to investigate the possible mechanism(s) underlying the relaxant action of the hidroalcoholic extract of Pimpinella anisum on rat anococcygeus smooth muscle.

In Peru, like in other developing countries, medicinal plants still represent the main therapeutic tool in traditional medicine. The Peruvian flora offers great possibilities for the discovery of new compounds with antimicrobial activity. It is estimated that 17,144 flowering plant species occur in Peru of which 5354 (31.3%) are endemic.
