Some Ayurvedic practitioners prescribe itfor ?Bhringraj,? which promotes hair development. Pharmacopoeial standards, such as the physical constant and leaf constant, are provided by the pharmacognostical research. The results of the phytochemical screening included fumaric acid, alkaloids, carotenoids, flavonoids, ?-sitosterol, saponins, and tannins. It is abundant in oleanolic acid , carotenoids, saponins, and ions such as calcium, potassium, and sodium. From its blooms, luteolin, quercetin, and isoquercetin have been identified. Numerous pharmacological properties, including hepatoprotective activity, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing, have been reported for It.antibacterial activity against both gram-positive and gramnegative bacteria, antidiabetic activity, hypotensive impact, immunomodulating property, anticancer activity, antioxidant activity, bronchial catarrh, dysentery, diarrhoea, and to prevent hair loss. The leaf juice?s antibacterial, insecticidal, and parasiticidal qualities make it a useful treatment for conjunctivities as well as an insect repellant for cuts, bruises, and wounds. This review focusses on the widespread prevalence of the weed Tridax procumbens, as well as its diverse phytochemical and pharmacological properties.
