ABSTRACT:
The deadly infection known as tuberculosis (TB), It is caused by the germs Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is quite difficult for humans to treat. For the treatment of tuberculosis, more than twenty allopathic medications are used. All of the drugs have side effects, including hepatitis, vomiting, nausea, and hypersensitivity reactions. The use of herbal medications is becoming more and more popular as a result of these adverse consequences of allopathic medicine. Due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis demonstrating significant resistance to conventional allopathic medications and developing the conditions known as extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), the interest in herbal therapies is also growing. Emphasising the value of anti-TB medicinal herbs is the goal of this review. In this review, approximately twelve plants that may be used to treat tuberculosis are discussed.
