Abstract
Nanas Bongsai (Ananas comosus var. microstachys L.) is an amazing herb which is used
in traditional medicine by local people of Muara Lembu district as a potion to reduce
pain while menstruation period for a women. The present work was designed to in-
vestigate its probable side effects on the histopathologic changes in limph and uterus
tissues after treated with A. comosus var. microstachys L extract in female white rats.
This is an experimental research consisted of five treatments and three repetitions.
Treatment composed of two controls (P
0
and P
+
) and given Nanas Bongsai extract
with three different dosages. Histology result of lymph show that all treatments giv-
en with Nanas Bongsai with three different dosages have different diameter average
of white pulp and there is no significant changes with normal control. While obser-
vation towards histology structure of endometrium thickness with dosage P
1
, dos-
age P
2
, dosage P
3
is 206.333±33.486; 215.667±33.486; 197.667±60.871 respectively.
The most thin endometrium layer found in treatment with dosage P
3
compared to
control P
0
. From this study showed that there is no toxic effect on uterus and lymph
function of of Nanas Bonsai (A. comosus var. microstachys L.) at different doses, so the
plant is secure for consumption by the community.
