A perspective view of pharmacognostical and pharmacological view on croton bonplandianum baill

Abstract

Traditional remedies still account for around eighty per cent of health care need worldwide, with plant-based medicines playing a significant role. A significant percentage of drugs and numerous synthetic analogs derived from medicinal plants are used in modern therapeutic research. A growing confidence in natural remedies has contributed to the acceptance of herbal medicine. There are conflicting theories regarding herbal medicines' effects on the physiology and mental function of humans. As a result of negative criticism and increased reports of toxicity, evaluative data should be generated to standardize Ayurvedic formulations using advanced techniques. It is crucial to perform a comprehensive phytochemical analysis of herbal preparations, both qualitatively and quantitatively, in order to determine their composition and safety. Its taxonomy, phytochemistry, traditional uses, and pharmacological properties have been extensively studied, including C. bonplandianum Baill, commonly known as Boycott Tulsi or Wilderness Tulsi. The purpose of this review is to provide detailed information on these aspects of C. bonplandianum Baill, in order to highlight its potential pharmacological properties and its significance in traditional medicine.
