Abstract

In India, there are countless medicinal plants that are employed in numerous  ancient medical practises. Individually or in combination, these plants have  a huge potential to provide direct therapeutic benefit. The use of medicinal  plants in modern medicine is expanding. In Ayurvedic and classical texts  like the Charaka Samhita and the Sushruta Samhita, more than 70% of the  medications are of herbal origin .Plants are used to treat a variety of  diseases, including toothaches, coughs, and asthma, and have a greater  range of applications in traditional folk medicine. All investigations showed  that the plant has important pharmacological properties such as anti inflammatory, analgesic, anti-microbial, anti-plaque, anti-hypertensive, and  anti-helmintic properties.It is also renowned for being an abundant source  of glycosides, phenols, sterols, and alkaloids. In Rajasthan and other places,  C. decidua (Karir) has shown to be a plant with significant commercial  value. It offers numerous dietary and medical applications; it is important  to synthesise a thorough study of connected topics. Because of this, the  current review text concentrates on a thorough profile of important nutrients  and biochemical molecules as well as the medical benefits of these  substances. To evaluate the nutritional and medical significance of C.  decidua, an effort is undertaken to study numerous studies on the plant.  Furthermore, prior findings still need to be scientifically validated.
