Highlight the Anti-Paralytic Activity of Medicinal Plants-A Review

Abstract

Background: Paralysis is a loss of strength in and control over a muscle or group of muscles in a part of the body due to disruption of neuronal signalling in between the nervous system and muscle coordinates. The common causes of paralysis are stroke, head injury, spinal cord injury (SCI) and multiple sclerosis. The search for cure of paralysis is yet to be found. Many ethnobotanical surveys have reported the use of medicinal plants by various ethnic communities in treating and curing paralysis. Plants are obviously God gifted for the synthesis of medicinal compound and provide a great help in a new discovery in the area of chemical diversity

Methodology: This article was deliberate to review the effective medicinal plants on paralysis disease. In this study, the relevant articles were searched for in the databases Magiran, Iranmedex, Irandoc, PubMed, Scopus, SID, Web of Science, and Science Direct using the search engine Google Scholar etc. was successfully carried out and characterized consequently.

Results: The crucial review exposed the promising medicinal plants (leaves, root, flower, bark, fruits, rhizome) are effective against paralysis.

Conclusion: This information will serve as a ready orientation for the worldwide researchers and will be very helpful or inspiring for the medicinal chemists or associated investigators in synthesized antiparalytic drug from the plant extract for pharmacotherapeutic applications.
