Ficus septica (Moraceae) is a subtropical tree, which occurs widely in low-altitude forests of Taiwan, and this species has been known for its detoxicant, purgative, and emetic effects.
It is claimed to possess general tonic, hepatotonic, cardiotonic, nervine tonic, aphrodisiac, detoxicant, anti-infective, and anti-aging properties [6].
Proponents say kombucha acts as a detoxicant and can improve digestion, enabling the body to conserve energy that would otherwise be used to eliminate waste and toxins.
These results agreed with the findings of Authman and Abbas (2007), who stated that the liver has an important detoxicant role of endogenous waste products as well as externally derived toxins such as heavy metals The cellular degeneration in the liver may be also due to either an oxygen deficiency as a result of gill degeneration or the vascular dilation and intravascular haemolysis observed in the blood vessels with subsequent stasis of blood (Mohamed, 2001).
Arcila-Lozano (2004) affirm that the essential oil from Origanum have the property to increase the activity of the detoxicant enzyme, glutation S-transferase when it is administered orally.
