Phytotherapeutic Potential of Traditional Medicinal Plants
A Comprehensive Review
Keywords:
Pharmacology, Phytochemistry, DrugAbstract
Nature has given us access to a vast array of treatments for all human ailments. Many of the contemporary medications used in therapeutic settings come from natural sources. Many people in poor nations place a great deal of trust in herbal folk medicines as primary medical treatments. As a result, the value of these herbal remedies is rising in an arithmetic progression, but it is constrained because only a small number of the plant's elements have the ability to counter toxicities like mutagenic, carcinogenic, and teratogenic effects, among others. About 80% of the world's population relies mostly on traditional medicines for their primary healthcare, making traditional plant-based medicinal systems crucial to health care. This study attempts to present a thorough analysis of the scientific literature on the therapeutic use of conventional medicinal herbs. In order to better understand the pharmacological characteristics of these plants and to make new discoveries in the drug development process, researchers may find this overview to be useful.
