Abstract

It is believed from ancient times that more than 80-85% of drugs used to treat harmful diseases are obtained from plants. Synthetic medicines are increasing presently, but they have a lot of side effects and are costly. Therefore, people are looking towards medicinal plants. The present review is on Terminalia arjuna, popularly known as the Arjun tree or 'God of Heart' due to its high utility in treating the heart. The morphology, phytochemicals, and biogenic properties of the T. arjuna are explained. It contains tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids secondary metabolites, which show therapeutic potential. T. arjuna has antimutagenic, cardioprotective, hyper-cholesterolaemic, hypolipidemic, anticoagulant, antithrombotic, antiviral, antimalarial, antioxidant, antifungal, and antibacterial properties.
