"The Efficacy of Animal Horn as a Traditional Medicine in Asian Countries: A Review"
Open accessAbstract
Since ancient times, animal horn, shell, and plant products have been used in widespread cross-cultural healing practices and traditional medicine across various regions of Asia, particularly in the Philippines and China. Not only are their clinical effects supported by historical evidence, but at the same time, it also promotes the development of traditional medicine. This review administered the use of journal databases such as PubMed, Greenfield Advanced Research Publishing House, ResearchersLink, and PLOS One Journal. Furthermore, this review shows how the preparation of the animal horn as traditional medicine was made. Based on the findings of the articles used, the Carabao horn effectively treats various types of skin diseases or wounds. The deer horn or the deer antler base is proven effective as antiviral and anti-inflammatory in traditional Chinese medicine. The water buffalo horn is also effective as an antipyretic medicine. As a result, animal horns mentioned in this review are effective traditional medicine in treating various diseases.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
