Abstract

India is the world's top producer of medicinal plants and is aptly referred to as the "Botanical Garden of the World." Medical plants not only offer natural remedies for a variety of illnesses, but also premium food and raw resources for survival. Significant study has been conducted on these plants to treat cancer based on their traditional uses and scientific investigations, and specific plant components have been marketed as anticancer drugs. These plants may assist the host in acquiring an immunity to infection by restoring the body's equilibrium and retraining the biological tissue. Different cancers can develop as a result of lifestyle modifications, drug and alcohol misuse, hormone treatment, and other causes. The use of herbal medicine to treat people with harmful illnesses like cancer is universally acknowledged. Therefore, to treat these numerous forms of malignancies, radiation and chemotherapy are routinely employed to destroy the cancer-causing cells. A number of adverse effects are brought on by the length and dose of these therapies, which are then followed by a number of ailments.
