Herbal approach for tuberculosis management: A systematic review

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis is an airborne infection that causes lung damage, and it is particularly harmful to patients with weakened immune systems or other health problems. Allopathic medications are associated with development of cross resistance or multidrug resistance in diseases such as TB, making treatment more difficult. In this case, Herbal remedies are the most effective in treating this disease. Medicinal plants with antituberculotic qualities provide pharmacists with a new supply of medicine, allowing them to create novel drugs depending on their active constituents or intermediate metabolites. Objective: Many recent studies have shown that ayurvedic medicines can reduce mortality dramatically when administered in such situations because they interact with the body's natural environment. Ayurvedic medicine is growing in popularity due to its low toxicity study and lack of side effects when compared to allopathic treatments. Conclusion: Considering botanical categorization and anti-tubercular action, Anti-tubercular medicinal herbs have been chosen from scientific literature for this review. A primary objective of this study is to highlight antituberculosis plants, their chemical compounds, and their anti-tubercular properties.
