Since natural dyes have therapeutic properties in the literature, these
dyes have created awareness and the demand for these dyes has increased
considerably. Natural dyes are obtained from naturally occurring sources.
Among all natural dyes, dyes composed of pigments of plants have extensive
medicinal value. The dyestuffs of natural dyes and the medicinal properties of
these substances have been known for many years, but their structures and
protective properties have only been understood recently. Many of the plants
used for dye extraction are classified as medicinal, and some of these have
recently been shown to have remarkable antimicrobial activity. New research
reveals detailed information about the basic chemistry of the main pigments
found in naturally occurring dye-yielding plants and their medical
significance, which helps in the further development of pharmaceutical
formulations (Chengaiah et al, 2010).
