Medicinal plants have been used for centuries across diverse cultures to treat a wide range
of ailments. Their therapeutic potential lies in their bioactive compounds, which exhibit a
variety of medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant,
and anticancer effects. For example, Neem has demonstrated antimicrobial activity against
several bacterial pathogens. These plants offer a potential alternative to conventional
medicine, gaining recognition for their natural origin, though the potential for adverse
effects exists, highlighting the need for rigorous safety evaluations. This manuscript reviews
the therapeutic uses of medicinal plants, highlighting their active constituents, mechanisms
of action, and clinical applications.
