ABSTRACT
Inflammation is the body's attempt at self-protection to remove harmful stimuli and begin the healing process. Inflammation is characterized by some sign e.g. redness, pain, swelling and heat. Different reasons are responsible for inflammation like microbial infections, some irritan and corrosive agents or tissue necrosis due to hypoxia and hypersensitivity reactions of immune systems. Various endogenous chemical mediators may be defined as acts on blood vessels, inflammatory cells to contribute to an inflammatory response like serotonin, histamine, nitric oxide, prostaglandins, bradykinin, thromboxane, leukotrienes, etc. Plants have specific anti- inflammatory action and have been using traditionally to treat inflammation e.g. Olibanum, Borage seed oil, Turmeric, Evening primrose oil, Ginger, Rosehip, Flaxseed and Blackcurrant etc. Medicinal plants may be used against inflammation due to cost effective, available and fewer side effects. In this review paper, some basic scientific research and clinical trial have been arranged to understanding the efficacy of anti-inflammatory actions of herbal plants. This article is focused on the potential role of herbs in treating inflammation and prospects for healthy, balance and normal life.
