Plants from the genus Sanguisorba have been the center of attention for many years in different societies due to their medicinal properties. Two main genera: great burnet (Sanguisorba officinalis L.) and small burnet (Sansguisorba minor Scop.), have been investigated in many studies to reveal their activities. The literature was comprehensively surveyed via Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar using appropriate keywords to collect data on the updated phytochemical analysis of the plant spp. and discuss their biological properties. Phytochemical study of Sanguisorba spp. mainly indicated the presence of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and terpenoids. The plants have shown anticancer, antioxidative, antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-Alzheimer’s disease, and anti-inflammatory activity. The lack of toxicity and potent biological activity of Sansguisorba spp. made them valuable resources for the development of supplements in the treatment and prevention of various diseases.
