Chronic conditions known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), including Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC), have a significant impact on the quality of life experienced by patients. Innovative research is revealing complex molecular interactions between medicinal plants and diseases, advancing plant-based therapies. Usually, taking medicine and changing one's lifestyle are the main ways to manage the illness. Recent studies, however, suggest that medicinal plants may offer further, helpful choices for treating the illness. This review article examines around 99 articles from sources such as Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, PubMed, Researchgate, DOAJ, SCIELO, and NOPR. The review methodically investigates the therapeutic potential of different medicinal plants in the management of IBD, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative Colitis. The review provides insights into the underlying mechanisms, pharmacological properties, and effectiveness of these plants. The findings present a promising opportunity for further research and development of plant-based therapies to improve IBD management and improve patient outcomes.
