Abstract :The use of phytochemicals and herbs due to their therapeutic effects is as ancient as human, since their effective, safety and inexpensive properties are the main reasons of their usage. Phytochemicals have beneficial effects against different diseases including autoimmune disorders. The immune system provides the protection of human body from pathogens like bacteria, virus and fungi. Nevertheless, a breakdown in immune system often causes infections, diseases and autoimmune disorders. When immune system recognizes the heathy cells as foreign cells and attacks them, an immune disorder can develop. Multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, thyroiditis, uveitis, systemic lupus erythromatosis, and myasthenia gravis are some of the known autoimmune disorders. This review aims to provide the readers a knowledge on the usage of phytochemicals against different autoimmune disorders.
