Abstract

Medicinal Plants have been used for thousands of years to flavor and conserve food, to treat health disorders and to prevent diseases including epidemics. Recently, dramatic changes have taken place in the primary health care system of world population through the development of science, technology and medical science, but till to day 400 cores of people of the worldwide are totally dependent on herbal medicine. In Bangladesh, various types of diseases affect thousands of people every year, especially children are so much vulnerable. In this review, we have choosen 6 plant species that are used in the treatment of various types of eruptions, gastrointestinal infection etc. Bacterial toxins or viral infections are the most common cause of the diseases. The diarrheal outbreaks are often associated with flood affected areas with contaminated drinking water and an increased risk of spreading the water-borne disease. Not surprisingly, plants found in the near surroundings have been taken into use by the local community as medicine to treat diarrhoeal symptoms. These plants are cheaper and more easily available than conventional medicine. We just here figure out some so much beneficial ayurvedic plants (Diospyros peregrina Gürke, Heritiera littoralis Dryand, Ixora coccinea, Pongamia pinnata, Rhizophora mucronata, Xylocarpus granatumn) traditional uses against gastrointestinal infection, eruptions, catarrhal bronchitis, dysentery, and as an anti inflammatory agent. Appearance and geographical distribution, traditional uses, and biological studies related to antidiarrhoeal activity will be presented. This review reveals that there is limited scientific evidence supporting the traditional use of these plants.
