A large number of medicinal plants, natural products and dietary components have been evaluated as potential nephroprotective agents, however, very few herbs have been considered for nephroprotection it is often associated with a reduction in proteinuria. The WHO estimates that 80% of people living in developing countries rely almost exclusively on traditional medicine for their primary health care needs. Medicinal plants form the back bone of traditional medicine and hence more than 3300 million people utilize medicinal plants on a regular basis. Demand for medicinal plants is increasing due to growing recognisation of natural products being nontoxic, having no side effects.
