Medicinal plants are used for health care either directly or indirectly as they are rich source of several ingredients. Ethno-medical traditions prove that they have a great therapeutic value and are important bioresources. Phytochemicals are naturally occurring compounds having immense antioxidant potential and are of great interest in securing health benefits of consumers. Each portion of the plant has its own medicinal properties possessing different types of secondary metabolites which plays important role in treatment of different types of diseases and for manufacturing of drugs. The phytopharmaceutical preparations should be safely assessed and well established before their usage. In spite of medicinal uses, phytochemicals have also been used in cosmetics, fragrance and as food supplements. Global research is recently focusing on search of new medicines or active compounds with proven significant scientific output. This review focusses on the metabolic fingerprint and biological properties of various plants which play a major role in antioxidant activity along with their mechanisms of action.
