Rare Medicinal Herbs Used in Kidney Diseases Found in Uzbekistan

Abstract

Currently, the attention of most scientists is focused on medicinal plants. No matter how effective the new drugs produced by the chemical and pharmaceutical industries are, medicinal herbs growing in our forests and fields are highly valued by hundreds of thousands of our doctors and patients. The healing properties of most medicinal plants have been carefully studied by pharmaceutical companies recognized by scientific medicine. Although 35-40 percent of the drugs sold in pharmacies are drugs obtained from natural plants, the use of these natural drugs in medical institutions is very low, 5-10 percent. In addition, trace elements present in plants are better absorbed by the human body, because they are found in plant materials in "biological" concentrations [1, 2].

Chronic kidney disease is one of the urgent problems in Uzbekistan, as well as in the whole world, and it is among the diseases of social importance due to the high mortality rate and large financial costs. Primarily among the working-age population, it causes disability in the military, manufacturing industry, and the able-bodied population in general. As a result, the labor force in the country will decrease and economic growth will lag behind.
