Abstract

Natural materials are gaining popularity in pharmaceuticals and food applications, and they have the potential to alleviate the significant environmental problems generated traditional materials. The genus, particularly Roxb., is expanding due to its prominence in culinary and traditional medicinal sectors. species are esteemed for their rich nutritional value and the discovery of new bioactive compounds exhibiting antioxidative, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer actions. This study offers a meticulous examination of the traditional uses, ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, and pharmacological attributes of (Roxb.). We also delve into the species' bioavailability and health benefits by emphasising the nutritional composition, bioactive components, and biological properties. Given the sparse existing data, this review sought to spotlight the potential of the substances present in this species in functional foods and pharmaceutical arenas. Distinguished by its red flower lobes, greenish-blue rhizome, and other notable features, it has long been employed in traditional medicine for ailments ranging from wounds to asthma, attributable to its disinfectant, expectorant, and tonic properties. Advanced gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques have discerned various phytochemicals from the plant, leading to revelations about its diverse pharmacological potentials, including antioxidative, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, (Roxb.) has stood out as a promising botanical candidate, with ten of its compounds, such as curcumenol and β-pinene, displaying notable efficacy against COVID-19 antigens. Thus, while Roxb. has already proven its worth in traditional oriental medicine, current findings underscore its potential as a potent therapeutic resource, especially concerning COVID-19, and advocate for intensified research into its pharmaceutical applications.
