History of medicine and plants dates backside to seclude past when herbal treatment was used and be the only answer to all kind of pain and disease. Nowadays, greater prominence is again to use phytotherapy all over the world. Herbal medicine is a traditional or folk medicine that based on the use of plants’ seeds, berries, roots, leaves, barks, flowers and plant extracts for medicinal purposes. This research study focused the line on the potentail of aqueous and methanolic extract of Borago officinalis (Borago; BO) on spleen and testis of albino male mice alone or after interaction between both plant extracts with CCL4 (toxic compound) in comparison to controls group (negative control; without any treatment and positive control; mice treated with CCL4 only). The results indicated the ability of plant extracts to modulate toxic effect resulted from CCL4 treatment.
