Abstract:
In the pursuit of effective and safe treatments for infectious diseases, herbal remedies have garnered significant attention due to their diverse phytochemical composition and potential therapeutic properties. This study aimed to explore the phytochemical profile and evaluate the antibacterial and antifungal properties of herbal garlic extracts. Traditional natural products continue to be sought after for their bioactive compounds, which offer promising avenues for therapeutic intervention in both human and veterinary medicine. Our investigation not only sheds light on the regional variation of stomach disease occurrence, highlighting the role of dietary factors, but also underscores the importance of herbal preparations in medicinal practice. By combining various plant classes, herbal formulations can exert localized effects upon application, penetrating the skin or mucous membranes to target underlying conditions. The effectiveness of these combined medications may lie in their synergistic mechanisms, offering a comprehensive therapeutic approach. This research contributes valuable insights into the potential of herbal remedies as adjuncts or alternatives to conventional treatments, paving the way for further exploration in infectious disease management and prevention strategies.
