Abstract: 
Indian medicinal plants play the very effective and important role in human’s life. Numerous medicinal plant species, particularly those used to treat Icterus, are regarded as a crucial therapeutic resource in the fight against these illnesses. When the blood level of bilirubin rises, a chronic condition called Icterus (Jaundice) develops.This review article highlights various medicinal plants that Indian tribal and rural populations utilize to treat Icterus.The study reveals 13 medicinal plant species, which are used for treating Icterus in India. The main aim of this review is to highlight the indigenous information of medicinal plants,which are specifically used for the prevention of Icterus. The plant species that are most frequently observed and utilized as medicines for treating Icterus are Acacia Nicotica, Abrus precatorius, Aloe barbadensis, Arhenome maxicanal, Boerhaavia diffusa, Carica papaya, Cajanus cajan, Cassia angustifolia, Curcurma angustifolia, Eclipta alba, Emlica officinalis, Ficus hispida. In order to create new medications that may be significantly more effective than the ones now available, plants that are often used to treat Icterus must first undergo scientific validation through pharmacological study.
