An herb that can grow up to 2.5 meters tall and has nearly 20 species in the genus, it is commonly and traditionally used as medicine in Nepal and the Eastern Himalayan regions of Darjeeling and Sikkim. Astilbe rivularis have been medically used in the treatment of swelling, spasm, gastric ulcer, diarrhea, and bleeding. Due to the presence of phytoconstituents like alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and coumarin, medical activity can be triggered and below a comprehensive review of its chemical constituents, ethnomedical use and pharmacological profit as a medical plant has been given. Separation of these compounds leads to the affirmation of particular biological activities like anti-inflammation, anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant, and anti-peptic ulcer as that its potential use can be better evaluated.
Thysanolaena maxima is a member of the Poaceae family of medicinal plants, and it is used to cure a variety of ailments, including boils, vomiting, stomach disorders, and infectious diseases like tuberculosis. Thysanolaena maxima has been found to possess a variety of chemicals, including terpenoids, polysaccharides, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, glycosides, phenols, and steroids. The current mini-review analyses its pharmacological profile, chemical components, and phytochemistry, with an emphasis on, cytotoxic, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, in order to better assess the plant's medicinal potential. Traditional and modern medicine, as well as possible herbal therapy for a number of ailments, have a lot of potential for Thysanolaena maxima. Its active ingredients and pharmacological activities is yet to be thoroughly researched. This brief review has offered up-to-date work on Thysanolaena maxima's phtyochemical and other information, which will serve as a reference for future research
