A REVIEW ON ANTI-INFLAMMATORY HERBAL PLANT

B. Pharmacy

Numerous nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications have been demonstrated to lessen pain and inflammation by preventing the isoform of cyclooxygenase enzyme from metabolising arachidonic acid, which lowers the generation of prostaglandin. Sadly, using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications has a lot of adverse effects. However, there are medicinal herbs that have low to no adverse effects and anti-inflammatory therapeutic properties. The African continent is incredibly rich in medicinal plants, many of which have anti-inflammatory properties and have been successfully used in traditional medicine to treat inflammatory diseases. It's interesting to note that researchers have investigated several of these African medicinal plants and documented their biological and therapeutic functions. Sadly, not a single review article has mentioned any African medicinal herbs with anti-inflammatory qualities.The use of medicinal plants and their secondary metabolites as a form of supplementary medicine is increasing. Rheumatoid and immune-mediated diseases, diabetes, cardiovascular accidents, and many other diseases are all included in the broad category of pathologic disorders known as inflammation. We include several plants whose anti-inflammatory properties have been proven in both clinical and experimental research. Some of the therapeutic plants mentioned in this review are evening primrose, Devil’s claw, Zingiberofficinale,, and, Allium sativum, Curcuma longa, Elettariacardamomum, Piper nigrum L., Camellia L., Rosmarinusofficinalis, Cinnamomum, etc .
