Abstract

Palmae is the family that includes the tall palm tree Borassus flabellifer Linn. It inhabits the tropical regions of Africa. All of its parts, including the roots, leaves, inflorescence, flowers, fruits, and seeds, are potentially medicinally valuable, making it a most precious gift to humanity. Updating Borassus flabellifer Linn's compressive potential overview was the primary objective of the current investigation. The medicinal qualities of the different plant sections are also emphasized in the review paper. It possesses antibacterial and anti-diabetic properties in its roots, according to the review. Plant leaves have antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer effects, among other pharmacological characteristics. The male inflorescence of the plant exhibits potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic, analgesic, and antipyretic characteristics. The pharmacological effects of plant fruits are diverse and include immunomodulatory, wound healing, antioxidant, anthelmintic, diuretic, and antimicrobial and antibacterial, antiarthritic activity, hypertensitivity. Antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties are displayed by the seed coat. The phytochemical, pharmacological screening, and use are included in this study.
