This thorough review aimed to present critical examination of the literature on the subject, and assess the effectiveness of herbal medicines for the treatment of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).This evaluation presented how herbal medications are used in conventional and alternative medical systems, investigated scientific data supporting their usefulness, and showed difficulties and potential benefits of incorporating herbal medicines into human immunodeficiency virus/AIDS treatment plans.The analysis discovered that several herbal treatments were studied for their ability to cure AIDS, mostly as a complementary therapy to traditional antiretroviral medication.Studies demonstrated the immunomodulatory qualities of several herbs, including Scutellaria baicalensis, Hypoxis hemerocallidea, and Sutherlandia frutescens, which may help AIDS patients' immune systems function better.Herbal medicines have a beneficial potential as adjunctive treatments for individuals with AIDS, mainly by strengthening immune function and improving general health.Patients should not, however, rely exclusively on herbal remedies, and their usage must be monitored by medical specialists.More investigations are needed to determine particular herbal ingredients and combinations, which may significantly improve the management of AIDS, taking into account possible drug interactions with antiretrovirals.
