A Comprehensive Analysis of the Therapeutic Efficacy of Sida Genus
Abstract
Herbs have been utilised human beings for hundreds of centuries as an origin of medicine and food. Rheumatic affections, azoospermia, oligospermia, and spermatorrhea, leucorrhoea, wounds, sciatica, nervous and heart diseases, colds, cough, asthma, tuberculosis, and respiratory diseases, diseases of the blood, and biliary diseases are just some of the conditions that indigenous people from tropical regions have been found to use different parts of the Sida spices plant to treat. Traditional medicine attributes the plant's diverse properties and uses to the abundance of active compounds found in the plant extract, including alkaloids, saponins, saponin derivatives, coumarins, steroids, tannins, phenolic compounds, cardiac glycosides, sesquiterpene, and flavonoids. This study aims to evaluate the literature on the ethnomedicinal uses, phytochemical profiles, pharmacological effects, and toxicity of Sida spices.
