ABSTRACT

Cancer is a life-threatening disease that poses a significant challenge in both developing and wealthy countries. The demand for novel ways to avoid the disease is increasing. Plants have always been a foundation for medical systems, and they have offered humans with treatments for thousands of years. Since prehistoric times, medicinal plants have been used as a source of medicine. In today's developing countries, ensuring the safety, quality, and utility of medical plants and herbal products has become a major concern. Medicinal plants have been used to flavor and protect food for many years, as well as to treat health problems and prevent diseases such as epidemics. The knowledge of their medicinal abilities has been passed down through the generations. Plants have been a valuable source of natural goods for sustaining human health for a long time, particularly in the recent decade, with more extensive investigations for natural remedies. Herbal medicine, in comparison to current Western medicine, is a very safe and successful technique. The biological capabilities of plant species utilized all over the world for diverse purposes, including the treatment of infectious diseases, are mainly attributed to active chemicals created during secondary metabolism.
