Abstract

Background

Our health care system greatly benefits from the use of old medical techniques. In Ayurvedic medicine to improve manhood, (Lam.) is utilized as an herb. The Fabaceae family, which includes (Palas), is widely cultivated throughout India. There are more than forty species of throughout the globe; out of which 15 species of this genus are in India.

Objective

To learn more details about this plant and various species of , specifically the chemical makeup of the plant, its species, and/or its elements, traditional and medical uses for the plant. This review article also focuses on the origin, history, classification, phytochemistry, morphology, microscopy, and pharmacological aspects.

Methods

A detailed and extensive literature survey through research findings, review articles, Google sources, database was done to explore the aspect of species for its various physical, chemical, pharmacological, phytochemistry and related fields.

Results

Our findings report that several representatives of this genus have been employed as vermifuges and remedies for fever, diarrhea, indigestion in traditional medicine. The plants anthelmintic, anticancer, antirheumatic, antiinflammatory, antioxidant and antihistaminic effects are well documented. According to literature reports, the chemical constituents of this genus are flavonoids, glycosides, chalcones, epoxy chromenes, and pterocarpans. Rural and ethnic people regularly use this plant to treat a range of diseases.

Conclusion

Research on has a bright future thanks to its strong natural origin. The uniqueness and usefulness of was obscured. In future, many more potential of could be investigated in combination with other herbs.
