Abstract :
Reproductive systems in humans not only serve the birth and survival of generations, but also regulate many of the psychological and behavioral characteristics of humans. Regarding the side effects of chemical drugs used in the treatment of reproductive system disorders; this study was conducted to investigate the effect of medicinal plants on the performance of this system. In this review, an extensive literature search was conducted using relevant articles published between 2000 and 2018, and indexed in Google Scholar, PubMed, Elsevier, Scientific Information Database, and Islamic world science citation center (ISC) were studied. The search terms used to retrieve the articles were as follows: Herbal medical extract ،Names of medicinal plants, Reproductive System. The use of medical plants has been commonplace in ancient civilizations, and hence since ancient times plants have long been an important source of medicine. Research on herbal medicine in recent years has shown that plants such as, Ginseng, Ginger and Aloe Vera have formerly been used to treat reproductive system disorders. In the present study, the effects of 30 plant types on the treatment of reproductive system have been investigated. According to the results of this study, many medicinal plants have beneficial effects due to flavonoid and antioxidant compounds in the treatment of reproductive system disorders, as some also have a negative effect on the system, so the use of medicinal plants in this regard should be made under the supervision of a specialist physician.
