Field hogs ‒ the latest scientific achievements, new perspectives of use (review of the literature)

Abstract

The current state of the environment and the progressive deterioration of the health of the population of Ukraine require the medical community to pay more attention to the development and use of drugs from plants, especially since Ukraine's phytoresource base is rich in raw materials. The negative impact of the environment on the human population is not only an increase in morbidity, but also the formation of polymorbidity and comorbidity, which progress with age and lead to forced polypragmatism, the threat of side effects from modern drugs of synthetic origin. It is recognized that for such patients herbal medicines (in particular horsetail-based medicines) of multifaceted, multiorgan action are the optimal addition to treatment complexes.
