This review identifies medicinal plants and their bioactive extracts that exhibit skeletal muscle relaxant activity, suggesting new alternatives for muscle spasms.
Nature affords us a rich source of plants with medicinal qualities that can lead the path to endless medication discoveries. Skeletal muscle relaxants are used to treat muscle spasm and stiffness. Muscle strain, which is a partial tear of a muscle, or sprain, which is a partial or whole rupture of a ligament, are frequently linked to muscle spasm, which is an abrupt involuntary contraction of one or more muscle groups. Many herbs as goods systematically in an effort to identify a viable substitute. The information was gathered for this review article in order to list the medicinal plants with skeletal muscle relaxant properties, the bioactive extract that is involved, the plant models that are used to evaluate the plants, and the potential therapeutic effects of the plants.
