Immunomodulatory Plant Based Foods, It’s Chemical, Biochemical and Pharmacological Approaches

Abstract

There has been a growing interest in research focused on enhancing immune function, given its crucial role in maintaining human health and preventing illnesses. While antibiotics are commonly employed in clinical settings to treat and prevent various diseases, their synthetic nature often leads to undesirable side effects. Since the beginning of time, medicinal plants have been employed in healthcare. Global research has been done to confirm their efficacy, and some of the results have sparked the development of plant-based medications; also, plant-based diets have emerged as leading contenders in the field of chronic disease prevention. They offer affordability, natural origins, and easy accessibility. One key reason for their effectiveness is their Immunomodulatory effect, whereby they stimulate immune cells and influence the development of immune molecules. This comprehensive review aims to explore the potential of medicinal plant as well as plant-based foods while examining their medicinal properties and their utilization in preventing and managing disease through their chemicals, biochemical components, and pharmacological approaches.
