Abstract

Human from ancient times have been used plants and their products to various ailments because plant products cause minimal or no side effects. In the present paper we review five traditional Indian medicinal plants used for ethanomedicinal and pharmacological in India traditional medicinal system (Ayurveda), several researchers of have been explored different activities of these plants includes Citrullus colocynthis, Delonix regia, Kiglia pinnata, Martynia annua and Pongamia pinnata. These plants have been used for several medicinal and pharmacological activities like as anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antibacterial, antioxidant, analgesic or anti-proliferative, antifertility and abortion etc in different parts around the world.
