Abstract: (19 Views)
Objective: Jaundice is a common condition in newborns, typically caused by liver or hematological disorders. Traditional Iranian medicine has provided natural, low-side-effect solutions for managing this condition, utilizing a variety of medicinal plants. These remedies have been employed for centuries in the treatment of jaundice in infants. This review aims to gather and identify the medicinal plants used in the treatment of jaundice within the framework of Traditional Iranian Medicine.
Methods: This research, grounded in Traditional Iranian Medicine, involved the collection and review of medicinal plants associated with the treatment of jaundice, based on classical Iranian medical texts, herbal compendiums, and credible online resources.
Results: In ancient Iranian medicine, medicinal plants such as Taraxacum officinale L., Cichorium intybus L., Silybum marianum L., Althaea officinalis L., Artemisia absinthium L., Plantago major L., Rheum rhabarbarum L., Glycyrrhiza glabra L., Borago officinalis L., Petroselinum crispum L., Spinacia oleracea L., Viola odorata L., Ziziphus jujuba Mill., Plantago psyllium L., Plantago lanceolata L., Cydonia oblonga Mill., Prunus domestica L., Senna alexandrina Mill., Cucurbita pepo L., Rhus coriaria L., Portulaca oleracea L., Lepidium sativum L., Citrullus lanatus (Thumb.) Matsum. & Nakai, Berberis vulgaris L., Malus domestica Borkh. were historically used to treat jaundice in newborns.
Conclusion: The indigenous medicinal plants of Iran hold great potential as complementary options for managing jaundice. However, further scientific research is crucial to confirm their efficacy and safety, paving the way for the development of effective and safe herbal medications.
