Abstract

Since ancient times, medicinal plants have been the primary source of most medications. In actuality, a large number of the medications that are now on the market may be obtained either directly in extract form or in modified synthetic form. As phytoconstituents, which are employed by plants to carry out biological processes and defend us from predators like viruses, fungi, and other microbes, they are naturally able to produce goods that are helpful for humans. Hernandia nymphaeifolia is a traditional medicinal plant that is used in several traditional remedies to treat several ailments. The extracts from various portions of the plant have excellent therapeutic effectiveness. Numerous pharmacological investigations have demonstrated this plant’s capacity to display anti-cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet aggregation, vasodilator, antioxidant, anti-microbial, and Ca2+ signalling properties. The current study covers a thorough examination of the plant’s systematic botanical position, phytochemical analysis, investigations into the plant’s pharmacological activity, and therapeutic uses.
