Abstract
Dengue fever is a viral disease transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. It is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions and can cause severe health complications, especially in severe cases. Although there is no specific treatment for dengue fever, the use of medicinal plants as a complementary approach to managing the symptoms of this disease is on the rise. This article reviews several medicinal plants effective against dengue fever. In India, medicinal plants such as peppermint, turmeric, black elderberry, green tea, ginger, aloe vera, sage, chamomile, cinnamon, and milk thistle are used to treat dengue fever.
