Ayurvedic remedies of tuberculosis

Abstract

Tuberculosis is an airborne infection that impairs lung function, and people with low immunity and other medical conditions are the most vulnerable. The disease progresses slowly, with symptoms appearing only in the advanced stages, followed by a lengthy therapeutic regimen and, finally, a long list of side effects. Some patients may not complete the course or may fall behind over time. This could lead to multi-drug resistance, which would make the treatment more challenging. Ayurvedic remedies have been shown in such cases to integrate with the body's natural environment and, according to many recent studies, significantly cut mortality rates. The key reason for the growing popularity of ayurvedic medicine is the lower toxicity study and lack of side effects when partnered with allopathic medications. This review covers a brief history of the disease, its mode of action, and its symptoms, but the main focus is on ayurvedic herbs and their anti-tubercular properties. The purpose of this review is to highlight research findings on anti-tubercular plants and their anti-tubular action, as well as the chemical constituents of these plants.
