Abstract
Traditional and folklore medicines play an important role in health services around the globe. The use of herbal medicines has been steadily increasing over the past decade. A considerable number of these plants/plant-based products have been widely used in India for the treatment of infection because they are inexpensive, efficacious, and safe. India has an extensive forest cover, enriched with plant diversity. Phytochemicals identified from traditional medicinal plants present an exciting opportunity for the development of new types of antiparasitic therapeutics. This has accelerated the global effort to harness and harvest those medicinal plants that bear a substantial amount of therapeutic effects. Hence, the author discusses some herbal products in this chapter that have an antileishmanial activity that can increase the body’s ability to cope with different infections.
