Abstract :

The cluster fig tree, also known as Gular or Ficus racemosa Linn. (Family: Moraceae), is a well-known medicinal plant in India that has been used for a long time in traditional systems of medicine to treat a variety of ailments, including diabetes, liver disorders, diarrhoea, inflammatory conditions, hemorrhoids, respiratory and urinary diseases. The ancient texts of Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, and homeopathy all mention this herb. As an astringent, carminative, vermifuge, and anti-dysentery, various plant parts including bark, roots, leaves, fruits, and latex are employed. It is an effective treatment for overeating. Fruit extract is used for menorrhagia, diabetes, leucoderma, cooling, anti-asthmatic, hepatoprotective, antioxidant, and other conditions. It is applied locally to treat sprains, fibrositis, lymphadenitis, and skin wound irritation. As a result, the current review attempts to offer an in-depth investigation of pharmacognostic, phytochemical, and pharmacological properties.
