The effect of Davallina Orientalis on bone healing--a preliminary report.
A crude methanol extract of the herb Davallina Orientalis was given intraperitoneally to test its effect on bone healing in mice. The results indicated that it could increase the breaking strength of a fracture site. In our experimental model, the lower dosage has a better result probably because of less toxicity.
