Abstract

Psoriasis is a globally prevalent chronic inflammatory condition. Traditional treatment methods often rely on immunosuppressive agents, which can have adverse effects on the human body. As a result, alternative therapies, particularly those utilizing phytoconstituents with immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, have gained attention. This chapter explores the potential of medicinal plants and phytoconstituents in managing psoriasis symptoms and supporting long-term disease control. However, to fully harness the therapeutic benefits of these plantderived compounds and integrate them into standard dermatological care for psoriasis patients, further research and rigorous clinical validation are essential.
