Background: The liver, a complex organ with numerous functions, is highly susceptible to
diseases that can result in liver failure, severe health complications, and can be fatal in later
stages. Although modern medicine has made significant progress, current hepatoprotective
treatments are inefficient and carry risks of complications. Cinnamomum tamala, a herbal
plant commonly used as a spice in Indian households, has been suggested to have
hepatoprotective properties. The present study was conducted to evaluate the protective effect
of the aqueous extract of Cinnamomum tamala (AECT) against Carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄)
induced hepatotoxicity in albino Wistar rats.
