Abstract

Traditional medicinal foods derived from natural sources have gained increasing attention in recent years due to their perceived health benefits and potential therapeutic properties and are deeply rooted in cultural practices. This review aimed at understanding their potential health benefits, emphasizes the need to identify the key bioactive substances in traditional home medicine. We have discussed the bioactive properties, molecular targets, and anti-cancer effects of various compounds such as curcumin, genistein, berberine, resveratrol, and, quercetin present in traditional medicinal foods. Our study highlights the potential of traditional medicinal food in the prevention and management of various health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders as evident from studies and clinical trials. Additionally, our study explores the mechanistic action of various bioactive constituents of grapes, rosemary, barberry, turmeric and garlic that have been shown to interfere with cancer growth, proliferation, metastasis, angiogenesis, and induce apoptosis by targeting various pathways and the cell cycle. Additionally, a wide range of healing abilities of medicinal foods including their impact on cancer cells demonstrate their direct anti-tumor potential along with antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties. To summarize, the present review highlights that integrating the insights of contemporary science with the age-old wisdom of traditional medicine in a systematic way holds immense potential for developing alternate and effective approaches to cancer therapeutics and offering evidence-based dietary recommendations.
