Halophytes as medicinal herbs

Halophytes are durable to stress conditions and can adapt to saline areas, thanks to their genetic structure, morphological, and anatomic differentiation. As significant ecologically as well as economically, these plants are used extensively in medicine. Primary and secondary metabolites in their various sections such as roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and seeds are applied directly or indirectly in treatments for various illnesses related to digestion and respiration systems, skin, rheumatism, and urinary system. This study evaluates and classifies halophytes in terms of the areas in traditional medicine where they are used, their sections being used, and the methods which they are used. Additionally, Halophytes are analyzed with regard to their potential uses in modern medicine as antioxidant, antitumor, anticancer, and antibacterial drugs.
