Since ancient times, plants have been an exemplary source of medicine. Researchers have discovered some important compounds from plants. The present work constitutes a review of the medicinal plants whose immunomodulant activity has been proven. PUBMED, EMBASE, Google scholars and CENTRAL searches for research papers of medicinal plants having immunomodulant activity were performed. Medicinal plants used by traditional physician or reported as having immunomodulant activity includes; Acacia concocinna, Camellia sinensis, Lawsonia inermis Linn, Piper longum Linn, Gelidium amansii, Larrea divaricata, Petroselinum crispum, Plantago major and Allium sativum.
