Gulzat Berganayeva et al. Molecules. .

Abstract

The skin shows the physiological condition of the body's organs and systems that prevent infections and physical damage. Throughout the ages, in folk medicine, phytotherapy was considered a primary form of treatment in all countries, including Kazakhstan, due to the abundance and availability of plant-based remedies. This paper discusses several medicinal plants that are traditionally used in the treatment of skin diseases in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The chemical composition of these plants was analyzed, with a particular focus on the biologically active basic compounds responsible for their therapeutic efficiency in treating skin ailments.

Keywords: anti-inflammatory activity; atopic dermatitis; ethnopharmacology; flora of Kazakhstan; medicinal plants; plant drugs; skin diseases.
