Abstract
Sports injuries, affecting both professional and amateur athletes, have a significant impact on performance, careers, and overall well-being. While conventional medical treatments play a crucial role in recovery, the interest in alternative therapies, particularly phytotherapy, is on the rise. Phytotherapy, also known as herbal or botanical medicine, harnesses the healing properties of plants and herbal remedies to address sports-related injuries. Its crucial to approach the efficacy and safety of phytotherapy with caution. An extensive literature review has unveiled an array of plants and herbal remedies, such as arnica, comfrey, turmeric, boswellia, rosemary, calendula, Witch Hazel, Cayenne, and Horsetail, with the potential to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote the healing process. While phytotherapy offers promise for sports injury management, further research and clinical trials are imperative to validate its efficacy and ensure athlete safety. The collaboration between traditional herbal medicine and modern sports injury management holds great potential for comprehensive athlete care.
