Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate Flamin/Silymarin as a new herbal combined hepatoprotective drug in experimental liver cirrhosis of white rats. Flamin was obtained from the flowers of the reddish immortelle (Helichrysum rubicundum (C. Koch.)), аnd Silymarin from the seeds of the milk thistle (Silybum marianum) growing in Armenia.
 The histomorphological studies showed that in comparison with the two control groups under the influence of Flamin/Silymarin the destructive and dystrophic processes are much reduced in the liver parenchyma. The histostructure is mainly preserved: there are binucleated hepatocytes with nucleoli, the boundaries of the interlobular hepatic tracts are clearly formed. Compared with the group treated with Flamin, in animals treated with Flamin/Silymarin, there was a reduction of karyolysis and pyknosis in hepatocytes. Along with this, in some areas, there were small foci of fatty changes. It is assumed that with long-term therapy, the effectiveness of Flamin/Silymarin may be increased.
 Consequently, further in-depth study of the mixture will lead to the identification and introduction of a new herbal hepatoprotective for the prevention and treatment of liver cirrhosis.
