Abstract

Ayurveda is distinctive for its holistic approach to disease management, owing to its rich treasury of medicinal plants. Kanchnar (Bauhinia variegata) is a medium-sized tree belonging to the family Leguminosae (Caesalpiniodeae) and is distributed throughout India, usually at an elevation of 4000 feet [1]. It is well known for its medicinal value in various disorders such as kapha meda dushti, including arbuda, granthi roga, vridhi roga, and gandamala. Pharmacognostic studies on various parts (stem bark, leaves, root, and seeds) of the Kanchnar have reported the presence of phytochemicals, flavonoids, steroids, glycosides, and terpenoids [1]. These phytochemicals have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, wound-healing and antimicrobial actions [2]. This study presents a review of the morphological characteristics and bioactive potential of the Kanchnar plant, drawing on classical and contemporary texts.

Keywords – Kanchnar, Phytochemical, Hepatoprotective, Antimicrobial.
