This article analyzes the pharmacological properties of anti -inflammatory drugs prepared on the basis of plant extracts, their bioactive components, and mechanisms of action on the human body. Flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, and essential oils derived from plant sources reduce inflammation by blocking inflammatory mediators. Natural - origin preparations have fewer side effects compared to chemical drugs and can be used for long-term therapy. The article highlights the anti - inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory effects of extract from plants such as turmeric (curcuma longa), ginger (zingiber officinale), aloe (aloe vera), and chamomile (matricaria chamomilla). The research result indicate that plant - based preparations can serve as effective adjunctive agents in the complex treatment of inflammatory diseases.
