ABSTRACT

The utilization of various botanical species for the treatment of anti-uricemia has garnered interest as part of the search for alternative therapies. This review provides details regarding the potential therapeutic effects of specific botanical species in mitigating hyperuricemia. Treating hyperuricemia is primarily complicated by the limited efficacy of conventional therapies and the condition's high prevalence. Age is a common determinant of hyperuricemia; inactivity and an unhealthy diet are potential risk factors. A number of studies have additionally emphasized the correlation between uric acid accumulation in the body and genetic factors, physical activity, and diet. Up-to-date information regarding medicinal plants and their potential as anti-hyperuricemia treatments is gathered through a systematic search of multiple sources of data. As a result, further investigation into the use of medicinal plants as an alternative treatment for hyperuricemia is a compelling area of study. A number of botanical species indigenous to Karawang, West Java, Indonesia, have exhibited promise as uric acid inhibitors.
