id="Buchu.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Buchu is an herbal product made from a group of aromatic herbs native to South Africa, the leaves of which were used in traditional Khio-San medicine to treat a variety of conditions and are currently used as buchu tea and as dried extracts. Buchu preparations have not been linked to instances of serum enzyme elevations or clinically apparent liver injury with jaundice.</p></div><div id="Buchu.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Buchu (boe&#x02019; shoe) is a group of aromatic small shrubs native to South Africa that were used in traditional medicine of the San and Khoikhoi people to treat wounds, stomach complaints, arthritis, and bladder and bowel ailments. Buchu refers specifically to two species in the genus <i>Agathosma</i> (meaning &#x0201c;good fragrance&#x0201d;) that were used in San-Khoi traditional medicine: <i>Agathosma betulina</i> (round or short leaf buchu) and <i>Agathosma crenulata</i> (oval or long leaf buchu). Currently, the aromatic oils of these herbs are used in food preparation as flavoring and in manufacture of perfumes. Dried buchu leaves have been used for medicinal purposes in tonics and as tablets or powders to treat musculoskeletal pain, chronic arthritis, dyspepsia, edema, fever, the common cold, ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, gout, prostatitis, prostatic hypertrophy, gout and sexually transmitted diseases. However, the efficacy of buchu has not been proven in prospective clinical trials for any of these conditions. More than 120 compounds have been identified in buchu including volatile oils, diospheol, mentone, isomethone, limonine, and pulegone, which is a suspected hepatotoxin. The active ingredients responsible for the purported medicinal effects of buchu are unknown. Laboratory studies of buchu and isolated constituents in cell culture and animal models suggest that it has antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiinflammatory and diuretic properties. However, these properties have not been convincingly shown in human trials. Buchu is most frequently used in teas, the recommended regimen being one cup three times daily. Buchu is generally well tolerated without adverse events; minor side effects may include gastrointestinal upset and urinary tract irritation.</p></div><div id="Buchu.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>Buchu has not been subjected to prospective controlled trials of safety and efficacy but is widely described as being well tolerated and without significant side effects. A single case report of acute hepatitis in a patient taking both buchu and rooibos herbal tea has been published. The patient was also taking an unknown statin, and the contribution of buchu tea to the hepatic injury can only be said to be possible (Case 1). Thus, there is little evidence that buchu in low oral doses or as herbal tea causes clinically apparent liver injury in humans.</p><p>Likelihood score: D (possible, rare cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Buchu.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>Buchu contains many compounds including pulegone which causes liver injury in rodent models and induces cytotoxicity in cell culture systems. The concentration of pulegone is higher in leaves from Agathosma crenulata than in those of Agathosma betulina. Large oral doses have been found to deplete glutathione, which may the mechanism of its toxic effects.</p></div><div id="Buchu.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>Hepatotoxicity from buchu must be quite rare if it occurs at all. In the presence of liver injury, stopping use of buchu promptly, even when used as an herbal tea, is warranted.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/HerbalDietarySuppl/?report=reader">Herbal and Dietary Supplements</a></p><p>Other names: Boegoe, Bucco, Bookoo, Diosma.</p></div></div><div id="Buchu.CASE_REPORT"><h2 id="_Buchu_CASE_REPORT_">CASE REPORT</h2><div id="Buchu.Case_1_Acute_hepatocellular_jaundi"><h3>Case 1. Acute hepatocellular jaundice attributed to herbal teas .(<a class="bibr" href="#Buchu.REF.1" rid="Buchu.REF.1">1</a>)</h3><p>A 52 year old man developed jaundice one month after starting buchu and rooibos herbal tea. He had no history of liver disease or alcohol abuse and no risk factors for viral hepatitis. He had a history of hyperlipidemia and chronic kidney disease due to IgA nephropathy. His medications included oral steroids and long term statin use. On presentation he was jaundiced, but physical examination was otherwise unremarkable. Laboratory testing showed a total bilirubin of 12.1 mg/dL, 8.3 mg/dL direct, with ALT of 2589 U/L, AST1438 U/L and alkaline phosphatase 359 U/L. The INR and platelet count were normal. Testing for hepatitis A, B, C and E as well as for EBV, CMV, HIV and VZV infection were negative, and ANA, SMA and AMA were not detected. An abdominal ultrasound showed a normal appearing liver and no ascites. A liver biopsy revealed mild portal inflammation, spotty necrosis and centrolobular cholestasis without evidence of biliary obstruction. The herbal teas were discontinued and he recovered promptly.</p><div id="Buchu.Key_Points"><h4>Key Points</h4><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figBuchuTc"><a href="/books/NBK589899/table/Buchu.Tc/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figBuchuTc" rid-ob="figobBuchuTc"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK589899/table/Buchu.Tc/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK589899/table/Buchu.Tc/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="Buchu.Tc"><a href="/books/NBK589899/table/Buchu.Tc/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobBuchuTc">Table</a></h4></div></div></div><div id="Buchu.Comment"><h4>Comment</h4><p>This was the first and the only published report of clinically apparent liver injury attributed to buchu tea. The onset and course were typical of herbal-induced liver injury, but contaminants in the herbal teas or other unacknowledged herbal products are other possible explanations for the hepatitis. In addition, the history was compatible with statin-induced liver injury which on rare occasions arises years after initiation of treatment. It was not clear what statin was used and whether it was discontinued. Ten years after this report, it remained the only published case of clinically apparent liver injury possibly related to buchu.</p></div></div></div><div id="Buchu.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Buchu_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
