The article is a brief review on certain important aspects of tuberculosis. A good number of medicinal plants and their chemical constituents are reported to have antimycobacterial activity comparable to the existing antitubercular drugs or sometimes even better in efficacy. The present review covers the literature published concerning medicinal plants and plant-based active constituents showing both immunomodulatory and antimycobacterial activity. These plants might eventually be studied and screened with a well-defined strategy to develop effective new drugs against tuberculosis.
