Abstract

Medicinal plants serve as valuable sources of bioactive compounds, offering various pharmacological benefits, including anthelmintic properties. These natural remedies have garnered significant interest due to their potential in treating parasitic infections. The increasing resistance of helminths to synthetic anthelmintic drugs has led to rising mortality rates and complications from pathogenic infections. While synthetic treatments are available, their side effects often overshadow their benefits, necessitating alternative solutions. This review highlights various medicinal plants with proven efficacy in reducing helminthic infections.
