Abstract
Traditional medicine is a body of knowledge, abilities, and procedures based on the assumptions, convictions, and experiences of traditional cultures in order to preserve their health. Many rural or indigenous people in many developing countries highly value traditional herbal treatments. Around 80% of people worldwide, including 60% of rural Indians, rely on traditional medicine, according to the World Health Organization. Utilization of herbal supplements increased from 2.5% to 12% over the previous five years. India's transition from traditional to modern medicine has been made easier by the evaluation of novel medications, particularly those derived from phytochemicals. Some of the chemical elements present in medicinal plants include tannins, alkaloids, carbohydrates, terpenoids, steroids, flavonoids, and phenols. As a result, we are attempting to summarize, gather the number of plants, and their ethnopharmacological qualities in this complete review study research.
