Abstract
Herbal drugs are widely utilized in many nations, and they include leaves, fruits, barks, seeds, stems, flowers, roots, rhizomes, and bulbs. Many small and major illnesses can be prevented and treated with herbal remedies. This study aims to assess the prevalence and correlates of usage of herbal medications among Indian citizens through a cross-sectional analysis. The relevant data was gathered from 246 persons between March 11, 2022 and March 24, 2022, using a Google form. People most frequently utilized ginger, turmeric, tulsi , cloves, cinnamon, Giloy , and black pepper as natural remedies. Around 98% of participants stated that herbal medications were superior to commercially accessible allopathic drugs. Drugs made from herbal medicinal plants had reduced toxicity and better therapeutic effects during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the COVID-19 pandemic period, a survey of herbal medicinal plants of Indian origin was conducted. According to the survey's findings, the majority of Indian Ayurvedic practitioners reported that these medications had better therapeutic efficacy, minimal toxicity, and no negative side effects. These herbal medicinal plant parts, which are of Indian origin, have anti-oxidant, detoxifying, and respiratory-supporting properties.
Keywords: Turmeric, Clove, Survey, Anti Oxidant, Anti inflammatory, Therapeutic effectiveness & Toxicity.
