Abstract

Typhoid fever is a disease with high influence in India now days. Typhoid is disease caused by species of pathogenic bacteria known as Salmonella typhi. Handling of typhoid is become more complicated when cases of Salmonella Typhi of resistance to antibioticsc are found as a first line of treatment. Another treatment is required to counter the resistance cases, one of them by using Herbs. Health problems because of this disease have ensured to take effective step towards more study for updated source of antimicrobial products especially from medicinal plants because of more economical. This study shows medicinal plants related to the typhoid fever and mechanisms of their antimicrobial action. Review of this study investigated through Database, Google, online science research, Science and technology indices. There are some medicinal plant which is traditionally used to treat typhoid by traditional healers. There are total 59 medicinal plant species have discovered which belong to 56 genera and 33 families. Most of the medicinal plant species were harvested from the wild compared to cultivated land and semi-cultivated. Decoction was one of the most recognise method of traditional grugs preparation. Number of plants used in combination to increase the effectiveness in the treatment of disease. But knowledge of these medicinal plant remains mostly with traditional healers and old generation, who are illiterate. So it is recommended that research scholar, research institutes and University researcher carry out research on these species to the next level and spread awareness to conserve and improve their genetic constitutions.
