Abstract: (95 Views)
Objective: Toxoplasmosis is an infectious disease caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii that can lead to serious complications during pregnancy, such as miscarriage. The transmission of this infection to the fetus may occur through maternal infection, resulting in congenital defects and preterm birth. Timely prevention and treatment of this infection can prevent these complications and ensure the health of both the mother and the fetus. Therefore, the present study aims to identify and report the medicinal plants effective in treating toxoplasmas’ infection.
Methodology: In this review study, keywords such as toxoplasmosis, parasitic infection, traditional medicine, medicinal plants, and treatment were searched across reputable databases including Google Scholar, SID, MegIran, Scopus, as well as sources from traditional Iranian medicine. Irrelevant articles were excluded, and relevant ones were selected for review.
Results: Based on the findings, medicinal plants such as Golpar, Fennel, Henna, Caraway, Garlic, Walnut, Ginger, Black Cumin, Eucalyptus, Zerin Ghiah, Artemisia, Frasium, Sage, Lemon balm, Myrtle, Turmeric, Clove, Mint, Wild Thyme, Borage, Onion, Alyssum, Lepidium, Edible Radish, Decorative Leeks, Dandelion, Balsam, Saffron Turmeric, Ginkgo, Olive, Yellow Safflower, Shrub, Persian Thyme, Draco, and Stachys are among the most significant medicinal plants effective against toxoplasmosis, which is a major cause of miscarriage.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that many medicinal plants in traditional Iranian medicine are known for their ability to combat toxoplasmosis. These plants possess anti-parasitic properties and immune-enhancing effects, which can help alleviate the effects of toxoplasmosis and prevent complications such as miscarriage. However, the use of these plants should be under the supervision of a physician and in conjunction with standard treatments to avoid any adverse effects.
