Tridaxprocumbens: A comprehensive review of its botany, ethanomedicine, phytochemistry and pharmacological significance
Keywords:
Tridaxprocumbens, botany, ethanomedicine, phytochemistryAbstract
Tridaxprocumbens is a perennial herb of the Asteraceae family, popularly known as "Coat Buttons" or "Wild Daisy". The herb is utilized in a traditional medicine for the treatment of a variety of diseases such as fever, problems with your digestive system, and also wound healing. This research main aims to provide an in-depth examination of T. procumbens' botany, ethnomedicine, phytochemistry, and pharmacological usefulness. Different biological activities have been identified and documented for the plant phytochemicals components, which include alkaloid, flavonoid, carotenoid, saponins, and tannins. T. procumbens has been extensively examined and reported to have antihypertensive, antioxidant, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, and wound-healing properties.This review discusses T. procumbens' potential as a useful source of natural compound for the development of a novel medications and treatments. Further research is needed to fully explore the therapeutic potential of this plant and to validate its traditional uses.
