Abstract
It is possible for psoriasis to manifest at any point in a person's life, regardless of
their age, gender, or geographic location. It is a chronic immune-linked inflammatory skin illness
that affects individuals of various racial and ethnic origins. It is recognized to be a longlasting
condition. Because of the significant contribution that natural products have made, there
has been a significant advancement in the treatment of skin illnesses such as psoriasis. The
biggest number of phytochemicals derived from a wide range of plants and herbs are now being
used in a variety of applications throughout the whole world. Additionally, a number of phytochemicals,
including aloe-emodin, psoralen, curcumin, and others, have been effectively extracted
in pure or clear form, and they have shown a great deal of efficacy in the treatment of
psoriasis illness. There is evidence that few herbal remedies are effective, and the occurrence
of these phytochemicals provides more proof. When synthetic medications are used for chronic
therapy, they may cause a variety of adverse consequences; hence, the exploration of natural
pharmaceuticals can give a successful natural treatment with a minimal amount of adverse effects.
Within the scope of this concise review, a number of plant sources that possess anti-psoriatic
activity are investigated, and the antipsoriatic effects of these plant sources are shown on
a number of animal models using particular pathways.
Keywords:
Cytokines, immune-mediated, anti-inflammatory action, antipsoriatic effect, keratinocyte proliferation, epidermal thickness.
