Abstract
Traditional medicine is a body of knowledge, skills, and practices based on traditional cultures' presumptions, beliefs, and experiences in order to maintain their health. Traditional herbal treatments are highly valued among many rural or indigenous people in many underdeveloped nations. According to the World Health Organization, about 80% of the world's population relies on traditional medicine, with 60% of rural Indians using herbal treatments. During the previous five years, utilization of herbal supplements grew from 2.5% to 12 percent. The assessment of novel medications, particularly phytochemically derived materials, has opened up a large arena for study and has aided India's shift from traditional to modern medicine. Tannins, alkaloids, carbohydrates, terpenoids, steroids, flavonoids, and phenols are some of the chemical components found in medicinal plants that have a distinct physiological effect on the human body. Medicinal plants do not only exhibit natural therapeutic properties, but also provide natural prevention against various diseases. As a result, we are attempting to summarize, gather the number of plants, and their ethnopharmacological qualities in this complete review study research.
