In the current context of increasing numbers of chronic diseases, there is growing interest in the use of natural remedies with proven therapeutic effects. Medicinal plants, which contain a wide range of biologically active substances, represent an important direction in the prevention and comprehensive treatment of such diseases. This article discusses the role of tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) and yarrow (Achillea millefolium) as potential herbal remedies for the treatment of chronic pathologies. The pharmacological properties of these plants are described, including their anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, choleretic, antispasmodic and immunostimulating effects. A review of scientific data confirming the effectiveness of plant extracts in maintaining the functions of the liver, gastrointestinal tract and immune system is provided. The prospects for their use in herbal mixtures and functional preparations are also discussed. Analysing the information provided, it can be concluded that phytotherapy is highly significant in the fight against chronic diseases and that further clinical studies are needed to standardise the dosage and safety of herbal remedies.
