Abstract

 Medicinal plant including herbal medicine/material contains more active analogues or active principles also called as natural products such as alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, essential oils, flower absolutes. Herbal medicines have a strong traditional or conceptual base and the potential to be useful as drugs in terms of safety and effectiveness leads for treating Tuberculosis. World Health Organization (WHO) has made an attempt to identify all medicinal plants used globally and listed more than 20,000 species. According to the WHO more than 80% of the world’s population realize on traditional herbal medicine for their primary health care. Although herbal medicine has existed since the dawn of time, our knowledge of how plants actually affect human physiology remains largely unexplored. Numbers of plants are claiming various medicinal uses and a lot of research is going for the treatment of tuberculosis. The potential of herbal medicinal plants to combat with the disease is increasing more and more attention as they have lesser side effects as compare to the routine medicines used. Plants like Abutilon indicum, Allium cepa, Andrographis peniculata are largely studied for Tuberculosis treatment and management. This innovative effort has been made for the enrichment and indirect contribution in Science and Technology.
