Importance of Medicinal Plants in Anatomical Disorders-An Overview
Published: 2025-01-02

Abstract

Medicinal plants have been an integral part of healthcare systems worldwide, offering therapeutic potential for treating a variety of anatomical disorders. These plants contain bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, regenerative, and neuroprotective properties, which are beneficial in managing conditions such as musculoskeletal injuries, bone fractures, arthritis, nerve disorders, and circulatory problems. This overview discusses the significance of medicinal plants in addressing anatomical issues, highlighting key examples such as Curcuma longa (turmeric), Salix alba (willow bark), Arnica montana (arnica), and Hypericum perforatum (St. John’s Wort), which contribute to pain relief, tissue healing, and overall anatomical restoration. While medicinal plants offer a natural and holistic approach, their integration with conventional treatments enhances therapeutic outcomes. Further research is essential to validate their efficacy and establish optimal usage in clinical settings.
