Examining the effects of phytochemicals used in phytotherapy on public health
Journal Title: Journal of Health Sciences and Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
The use of herbal products in treatment or prevention of diseases has been on the rise as herbal products are considered safe. Particularly several phenolic components of herbal products are thought to cause metabolical activities in humans. However, the scarce number of studies conducted on the toxicity of herbal products cause a decrease in the safety of herbal drugs which creates danger for humans. Insufficient controls and the increase of easy access to herbal products affect human health significantly. Within the scope of this review, the effects of curcumin and thymokinon treatment on phenolic compounds, which are commonly used among the public, have been investigated.
