The purpose of this paper is to study the correlation between the colors of medicinal plants' flowers and their pharmacological effects on the human body. It has been known from traditional herbal medicines that certain medicinal plants with the same color of flowers have similar effects on the body. By com- paring the same color of flowers of medicinal herbs, we have found that there is a shared effect amongst medicinal plants with the same color flowers. Our findings conclude that purple flowering herbs are mainly adaptogenic and also support the immune system, blue flowering herbs have anti-inflammatory properties, red flowering herbs will affect the blood, yellow flowering herbs help with digestion, white flowering herbs are mostly sedative or affect the nervous system, and herbs with no flowers help provide nutrients to the body. In the future, more in- vestigation is needed to determine specific constituents in plants that are respon- sible for their pharmacological actions. The study of the correlation between col- ors of flowers and their healing abilities will help us select the correct medicinal plants for these future clinical studies.
