Abstract

As we know, many researches have shown positive reaction face to various disorders which have been aiming its location in the health programming. A rising tide of tick-borne spirochete, rickettsial, and viral infectious diseases are causing substantial misery around the world. In this paper, the terms such as tick-bone, disorder, herbs, traditional medicine, and curing the tick-bone disorder, both separately and combined, were utilized in order to search in the databases of Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Islamic World Science Citation Center, and Magiran, and then relevant articles were detected. Duplicate articles and articles in non-English languages were excluded from this analysis. We found 20 potential herbs (Cissus grandifolia, Arcangelisia flava, Commiphora spp., Cistus creticus, Elaeocarpus nitidus, Achillea millefolium, Curcuma zanthorrhiza, Camellia sinensis, Ficus sycomorous, Acacia drepanolobium, Adansonia digitata, Acacia nubica, Terminalia brownie, Dicrostachys cinerea, Dalbergia melanoxylon, Kigelia Africana, Citrus x paradisi, Curcuma zedoaria, Salvadora persica,m, Agave sisala) which are locally applied around the world. Subsequently, some characteristics like used parts, properties and human or animal effectiveness were demonstrated separately. etreat this disorder, prevention is the best strategy. It is highly recommended to take precautionary measures, including refraining from having any contact with ticks.
