A review on anti-cancer plants of India

India has a high level of endemism and a diverse range of floral species. Cancer is one of the most significant challenges facing global health today. The indigenous peoples and residents who live in India have, for a very long time, made use of specific medicinal plants to fight cancer. This practice is still prevalent today. Several different drugs may be utilized in the treatment of cancer. Because of the potential drawbacks associated with such treatments and the development of drug resistance, the quest for new therapies that are both safer and much more effective is still the most challenging field of study. Several cancer medicines used today come from natural sources. We're returning to our old ways because medicinal plants are a good, natural way to make medicines that prevent cancer without causing major side effects. Within the scope of this study, a few herbs traditionally used to treat cancer are looked at to see what they might be good for. The cytotoxicity of these plants, the processes that lead to them, and the different compounds they make were looked into. This study has tried to focus on how these plants fight cancer.
