Dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral infectious disease caused by the dengue virus, is a significant global health concern, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Despite preventive efforts, Sri Lanka faces recurring dengue outbreaks, with the Western province being the most affected. Current treatments primarily focus on supportive care, as specific antiviral therapies remain elusive. This review presents an overview of dengue, its clinical presentations, the dengue burden in Sri Lanka, and the potential of Sri Lankan medicinal plants used in traditional medicine for treating dengue. Several plants, such as Munronia pinnata, Azardirachta indica, Cissampelos pareira L., Carica papaya, Zingiber officinale, Curcuma longa, and Bambusa vulgaris, show antiviral properties against dengue. The utilization of these medicinal plants in dengue treatment could offer a promising avenue for further research and drug development.
