Traditional plants have tremendous benefits for many ailments and illnesses that are typically inexpensive and side-effect-free. We highlight in this review comparatively extensive data on the ethnomedicinal applications, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicity of Eclipta alba. The scientific data was gathered from books and online bibliographic sources like PubMed, Google Scholar, SciFinder, and Scopus. The phytochemical analysis of this plant has afforded an important category of natural products such as coumestans, terpenoids, alkaloids, volatile oils, flavonoids, and thiopenes. According to reports, coumestans are the most often used components among them. Potential pharmacological effects, including wound healing, diabetes, obesity, antioxidants, cancer, hair growth, and neuroprotective properties, have been reported for the extracted crude extract and independent component. Subsequent research ought to concentrate on in-depth mechanism-based investigations using clinical trials and animal models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
