Abstract: (46 Views)
Objective: Urinary frequency is a common urinary disorder in children that can result from various factors, including infections, inflammation, or neuromuscular dysfunction. In Iranian traditional medicine, medicinal plants rich in antioxidant compounds have been utilized as a natural approach to reducing inflammation and improving urinary system function. This review study aims to identify and report medicinal plants effective in treating pediatric urinary frequency in Iranian traditional medicine.
Methods: In this review study, keywords such as "medicinal plants," "urinary frequency," "children," and "Iranian traditional medicine" were used for article searches. Valid databases, including Google Scholar, SID, Magiran, PubMed, and Scopus, were examined to retrieve relevant articles.
Results: Several medicinal plants, including Mentha pulegium (pennyroyal), Zingiber officinale (ginger), Cinnamomum verum (cinnamon), Matricaria chamomilla (chamomile), Citrus limon (lemon), Camellia sinensis (green tea), Althaea officinalis (marshmallow), Juglans regia (walnut), Foeniculum vulgare (fennel), Anethum graveolens (dill), Carum carvi (black caraway), Lavandula angustifolia (lavender), Cydonia oblonga (quince seed), Polygonum aviculare (knotgrass), Valeriana officinalis (valerian), Punica granatum (Persian pomegranate flower), Urtica urens (white nettle), and Trigonella foenum-graecum (fenugreek), have been traditionally used for treating urinary frequency.
Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that numerous medicinal plants with antioxidant properties have been employed in Iranian traditional medicine for managing pediatric urinary frequency. These plants, due to their flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic compounds, may alleviate symptoms by reducing inflammation, improving bladder function, and enhancing the immune system. However, further research is required to confirm their efficacy and establish appropriate dosages for children.
