Leishmania protozoan is an intracellular pathogen that can cause a wide spectrum of diseases in human ranging from a skin wound to visceral infections. Annually, around 15000 people acquire leishmaniasis in Iran. Trivalent and pentavalent antimonials are used to treat leishmaniasis. Treatment with antimonials is usually long term and causes drug resistance and toxicity. Leishmaniasis is an important parasitic disease that is currently expanding in the world. Because traditional medicine prescriptions are effective and useful to treat diseases, this review seeks to introduce the prescriptions of Iranian traditional medicine to treat leishmaniasis wound.

According to the evidence on traditional medicine, gillyflower, fleawort, peach, medlar, henna, armenian flower, olive, common soda-plant and purging cassia containing minerals, etc. are used to treat leishmaniasis.
