Abstract
A poisonous plant is one that when touched or consumed in large quantities, can be hazardous or lethal to humans or other animals. These plants can be utilized as herbal medicines with therapeutic effects when used in the right proportions and in small doses. Many plants are harmful to people when consumed or through skin contact with plant chemicals. Poisonous medicinal herbs are used to treat a variety of illness, including diabetes, cancer, infections and fungal growth. According to the review, numerous phytochemical components that have diuretic , purgative, laxative, anti-allergic and other significant therapeutic effects have been identified in a variety of medicinal plants. The shodhana process is the only bridge between visha and Aushadhi. Shodhana is the process by which physical, chemical, and natural impurities are removed. It will intensify the potency and effectiveness of the drug and nullify its toxicity. The aim of this review article is to provide a brief overview of the numerous medicinal uses of some poisonous plants.
