Abstract

The use of herbal plants in the medical system plays an important role in the treatment of illnesses.

The plant has been used in treatment of bloody dysentery, bacterial infection, fungal infection, haemorrhoids and as a wound healing agent. Along with these several pharmacological studies also suggest that the plant has potent antibacterial activity, anti-inflammatory activity, anticancer activity, antidiabetic activity, antidiarrheal activity etc. these activities can be a results of its vast phytochemical composition which includes alkaloids, tannins, glycosides, steroids, flavonoids etc. the present review is an effort made to collect all the available information regarding the phytochemistry, traditional usage and pharmacological activities.
