Abstract

Diseases affecting the digestive tract’s activities are referred to as GIT disorders. Stomach or abdominal pain, dyspepsia, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, dysentery, vomiting, and gastroenteritis are typical gastrointestinal illnesses. Patients with gastrointestinal issues are routinely treated with herbal or alternative treatments. In several regions of the world, herbs have historically been trusted for the management of numerous illnesses. They are considered vital bases of pharmaceutical items, especially herbal remedies, and their use considerably impacts the delivery of basic health care. Because they have minimal side effects when used appropriately, herbal medications are becoming more and more popular with Westerners. In recent years, a widespread trend has been there toward a resurgence of interest in a conventional system of medical care. According to the WHO, traditional medicine has a place in the primary healthcare system. Medicinal plants remain to be a significant source of treatment in develo** nations. The majority of people in develo** nations, or about 88% of them, are thought to rely on a traditional system of medicine for their medical care. When treating GI problems, evidence-based, rational phytotherapy which employs herbs and herbal preparations to provide the desired therapeutic effect plays a significant role. Given the variety of these disorders, it stands to reason that a wide range of herbal products can be utilized in both prevention and treatment. This chapter aims to review the use of various herbs and herbal preparations for managing and preventing gastrointestinal diseases as well as their safety and efficacy.
