This review article provides an overview of the role of herbal medicine in the management of chronic diseases. Chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and arthritis, present significant challenges to healthcare globally. The growing interest in herbal medicine as an alternative and complementary therapy has prompted investigations into its potential benefits, mechanisms of action, and limitations. Herbal medicine offers a wide range of potential benefits in chronic disease management. These include symptom relief, antioxidant activity, immune system modulation, metabolic regulation, and reduced side effects compared to some conventional medications. Phytochemical constituents, modulation of gene expression, enzyme activity, and interactions with the gut microbiota contribute to the mechanisms of action of herbal medicine.Despite the potential benefits, herbal medicine faces certain limitations and considerations. Standardization and quality control are essential to ensure product consistency and reliability. Drug interactions, the lack of regulatory oversight, and the need for more robust scientific evidence are factors that require attention. In conclusion, herbal medicine presents a promising adjunct or alternative approach in the management of chronic diseases. Its potential benefits, mechanisms of action, and limitations need to be carefully considered in clinical practice and research. Further scientific exploration and collaboration between traditional and modern medicine are crucial for evidence-based decision-making and improved patient outcomes.
