Abstract

The primary organ responsible for the body's energy generation and nutrition metabolism is the liver. It is also required for the kidneys to metabolize and eliminate toxic chemicals and exogenous medications. A multitude of environmental contaminants, pathogenic microorganisms, viruses, medications, and chemical agents may all induce hepatotoxicity, which can lead to a range of hepatic disorders, including cirrhosis, fibrosis, hepatitis, jaundice, and necrosis. Ayurveda is an age-old Indian medical system that has been used consistently to treat a wide range of illnesses in people from ancient times. Medicinal plants are an important source of medicinal chemicals that are utilized to create medications that effectively treat a range of human disorders, including diseases of the liver. As a result, the pharmaceutical industry is starting to use medicinal plants to create safe and efficient medications for the treatment of newly discovered human ailments. Thus, the goal of this study is to gather information on medicinal plants that have been shown to be hepatoprotective when it comes to hepatotoxicity caused by drugs.
