Abstract
Inflammatory arthritis is a common problem observed in elderly people. Nearly one fifth of the world population
suffers from this debilitating disease. Traditional medicines like Siddha, Ayurveda, Unani and Chinese medicines
have mentioned few herbal drug remedies for arthritis but lack in providing scientific evidence of therapeutic
benefits. However, past few decades showed great achievements in the herbal drug standardization due to the
development in modern chromatographic techniques. Numbers of plants are studied extensively for their
traditional claim with respect to the chemical constituents and extraction techniques. These anti-inflammatory
drugs are commercialized as herbal medicines after standardizing the extracts from natural sources. In this article,
we made an attempt to summarize the medicinal plants screened for arthritis with respect to the chemical
constituents and therapeutic moieties.
