There is increasing interest in the herbs and botanicals for the benefit of health and wellness. Diuretics are the drugs used in the treatment of various disorders like hypertension, cardiovascular disorders and liver degeneration diseases, renal disorders, ascites, generalised oedema of the body etc. Diuretics are used to lower blood pressure and work by increasing the excretion of urine from the body as well as the amount of sodium in urine. We recognised a number of species and genuses of herbal plants having diuretic effects. The aim of this review is to highlight the work on diuretic action of herbal drugs. The selection of papers was made using the most relevant databases for the biomedical sciences on the basis of their traditional use. The numerous diuretic herbs with their active phytoconstituents have been explored in ancient literature for the benefit of human beings. The present paper also involves various plant drugs and their pharmacological profiles which focus on the various formulations, bioactive extract involved in diuretic mechanism. This study may be helpful in the selection of medicinal herbs/plant for carrying their research work on the diuretics.
