Abstract

The aim of this analysis is to include detailed confirmations on the phytochemical and pharmacological  aspects of Boerhaavia diffusa, Nyctaginaceae, also known as "Punarnava." It has a long ethno medical  tradition and is a heuristic therapeutic phytochemical reservoir. It is one of the oldest oriental remedies  that Ayurveda mentions as a possible cure for a variety of ailments. Glycosides, steroids, flavonoids,  and numerous polyphenolic compounds are abundant in the plant. Many pharmacological trials have  shown its potential to benefit conventional applications as antioxidants, ophthalmic, anti inflammatory, semen, aphrodisiac, immunostimulants, anti-asthmatic. We have based our interests in  phytochemistry, the registration of plant chemicals, those responsible for medicinal principles,  common applications and their recorded pharmacological properties in this review article.
