    Background: Medicinal plants have been integral to healthcare throughout history, forming the basis of traditional healing systems worldwide. Cultures such as Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda have long utilized these plants to address both physical ailments and mental health conditions, recognizing the intrinsic link between body and mind. In recent decades, modern scientific research has begun to validate and elucidate the mechanisms behind these traditional practices, highlighting the potential of medicinal plants in holistic health improvement. This study aims to explore the therapeutic effects of medicinal plants on the simultaneous improvement of physical and mental health by examining both traditional and modern health management. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted using databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, focusing on publications up to August 2024. Keywords such as "medicinal plants," "physical health," "mental health," "traditional medicine," and "modern medicine" were used. Inclusion criteria encompassed peer-reviewed articles discussing medicinal plants with reported effects on both physical and mental health. Data were extracted on traditional uses, phytochemical constituents, pharmacological actions, clinical evidence, and advancements in extraction and formulation technologies. Results: Traditional healing systems have effectively used medicinal plants like ginseng, turmeric, and ashwagandha to treat a range of physical and mental health conditions. Modern phytochemical studies have identified active compounds-such as curcumin in turmeric and ginsenosides in ginseng-that underpin these therapeutic effects. Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of certain plants, like St. John's Wort for depression and Rhodiola for stress and fatigue. Technological innovations have improved the extraction and standardization of herbal compounds, enhancing their safety and efficacy. The comparative analysis revealed significant convergences between traditional knowledge and modern science, although challenges persist in integrating these approaches due to differences in understanding and application. Conclusion: Medicinal plants offer significant potential for the simultaneous improvement of physical and mental health. Integrating traditional wisdom with modern scientific advances can lead to more effective and holistic healthcare models. Continued research is necessary to address existing gaps, ensure ethical practices, and promote international collaboration, ultimately harnessing the full potential of medicinal plants in enhancing global health. © 2024, Vesnu Publications.
