Abstract :
Biophytum sensitivum (L) DC, a medicinal plant from the Oxalidaceae family, is widely used in traditional medicine across Asia, Africa, and the Philippines. Known as one of the ten sacred Ayurvedic plants, it thrives in tropical, shaded environments. Despite propagation challenges, B. sensitivum is valued for its immunomodulatory, analgesic, antipyretic, antitumor, antibacterial, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, antioxidant, chemo protective, anti-asthmatic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Rich in phenolic compounds, saponins, and essential oils, it is traditionally used to treat asthma, stomach-ache, insomnia, convulsions, chest pain, skin diseases, and snake envenomation.
