Abstract

The succulent medicinal plant Cissus quadrangularis L. belongs to the genus Vitaceae. It's fleshy in nature, a cactus. It is also known as Vitis quadrangularis. It is used in Ayurveda as Pachana (digestive aid), Sara (constipation relief), Athiyuk (bone strengthening), Vrushya (Aphrodisiac), etc. It is used to relieve gastritis in Unani. The powdered root is specifically used in the treatment of bone fractures and the entire plant is used in the treatment of asthma. The powder's normal dosage is 30-40 grains. In Southern India, leaves and young shoots are usually taken with curry. In Chennai, in a closed vessel, young shoots of the plant are dried, ground, burnt to ashes. In dyspepsia, indigestion, and some gastrointestinal problems, these ashes are treated. In gastrointestinal therapies, leaves and young shoots are also known to be potent substitutes. Stem juice is lowered into the ear in the otorrhoea and into the epistaxis of the nose. There are many therapeutical applications for the herb. In the ancient Ayurvedic literature, the herb is prescribed as a general tonic and analgesic, with particular curing properties for bone fracture. Helminthiasis, anorexia, dyspepsia, colic, flatulence, skin disorders, leprosy, hemorrhage, epilepsy, convulsions, haemoptysis, cancers, chronic ulcers, swelling are believed to be beneficial throughout the herb. Scientists have made attempts to test the potency of the plant by scientific biological screening following numerous folk statements for the cure of different diseases. Some important pharmacological activities of the herb, such as antioxidant, free radical scavenging, anti microbial, anti bacterial, bone healing, anti ulcer, analgesic, anti inflammatory and diuretic, were disclosed in the literature scrutiny. In this study, it is possible to determine the future application of the plant in pharmaceuticals or as an agricultural resource. The present analysis is an effort to illustrate phytochemicals, diverse common applications and Cissus quadrangularis L. pharmacological reports.
