Abstract: Medicinal plants as well as their active compound or phytochemicals have very crucial or effective for reducing several diseases including GI tract disorder. Especially many types of smokeless tobacco products (STP) i.e. gutkha, pan masala, betel quid, snuff, snus are responsible for the bad impact on different parts of (stomach, intestine, oral cavity, oesophagus) GI system and produce GI health related disorder. Several research suggested that STP induced GI tract effects may be reduce by the use of phytochemicals. The effective medicinal plants are-Turmeric, Caraway, Aloe vera, Andrographis, Papaya, Citrus medica, Clove, Fennel, Ginger, Oglala etc. Still now there are no such complete review are available regarding medicinal plants which are protective effects against STP induced GI damages. So, in this review work tries to reestablish the protective role of different phytochemicals from medicinal plants against STP inducing GI tract disorder.
