Comprehensive Review on Medicinal Value of Poisonous Plants
Abstract
Poisonous plants, despite their toxic nature, have played a crucial role in medicine for centuries. If used properly, these deadly plants are incredibly beneficial. Many of these plants contain potent bioactive compounds that, when used in controlled doses, serve as the foundation for various pharmaceutical drugs. This article explores the dual nature of poisonous plants, examining their medicinal applications, pharmacological significance, and the scientific advancements that have transformed toxic botanicals into therapeutic agents. By understanding the balance between toxicity and healing, researchers continue to uncover new medical breakthroughs from nature’s most dangerous flora. The knowledge of toxicity and usefulness of the poisonous plants are the main concern in present day scenario.
