Abstract

Herbal drugs therapy is regarded as an important therapy for the treatment of a wide range of diseases. However, enormous improvements have been observed in modern systems of medicine, but Indian herbal plants provide a rich source for health care to prevent different pathological states. Calendula officinalis is an aromatic, erect, annual herb that is indigenous to Europe, cultivated commonly in North America, Balkans, Eastern Europe, Germany and India. Ample studies have reported about the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumour, antigenotoxic, chemoprotective and hepatoprotective potential associated with the drug. The review article describes about the various phytochemical constituents associated with the plant extract. Moreover, numerous pleiotropic effects exhibited by the plant have been clearly discussed.

Keywords:

Herbal, Calendula officinalis, Pleiotropic.
