The present review article explains medicinal and therapeutic uses of Tulsi plant in traditional medicine. Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum [OS] Linn.) is an aromatic plant belongs to family Lamiaceae. It is traditionally used for preparation of various Ayurvedic formulations for treatment of bronchitis, influenza, and asthma. Hot concoction of Tulsi leaves is usually provided for immediate relief in cold, sneezing nose, cough, malaria, and dengue. This article explains the biological effectiveness of OS against diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cancers, respiratory diseases, arthritis, various microbes, and parasites. Tulsi extracts and its various bio-organic constituents showed antioxidant activity, anti-atherogenic effect, anti-aging, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antistress, hepatoprotective, radioprotective, antihelmintic, repellent and larvicidal activity. Tulsi active ingredients showed anti-inflammatory properties and also play a role in modulation of both cellular and humeral immunity. Plant shows healing properties in hepatic injury and gastric ulcer. It relieves from stress, restore and improve body immunity and digestion. Ocimum basilicum L. contains (-)-linalool, eugenol and methyl chavicol, methyl chavicol (93.0%), gamma-caryophyllene as major constituents. Minor oil constituents are (+)-delta-cadinene, 3-carene, alpha-humulene, citral, and (-)-trans-caryophyllene. Tulsi oil contains high alpha-linolenic acid contents mainly eicosanoid precursor polyunsaturated fatty acids which are anti-inflammatory in nature. Tulsi also contains camphor, caryophyllene oxide, cineole, methyleugenol, limonene, myrcene, and thymol, which are known insect repellents. Its essential oil (EO) can be used to abate the growth of mosquitoes and control malaria. It is a good repellant and can be used for deterring flies, mosquitoes and insects. No doubt Tulsi plant is a good source of natural products mainly phyto-constituents and EO which can be used as alternative medicine for the treatment of various ailments and human health problems but proper composition and appropriate formulation is required before being used.

“…Previous studies have shown that administration/intake of micronutrients are effective preventive and treatment measures for both type I and type II DM and common associated complications. Narendhirakannan et al, [52] reported the roles of inorganic trace elements present in four traditional medicinal plants (Murraya koenigii, Mentha piperitae, Ocimum sanctum, and Aegle marmelos) used in the treatment of DM. Also, Rajasekaran et al, [53] noted that inorganic elements like vanadium, zinc, sodium, potassium, calcium, copper, manganese, and traces of chromium zinc and chromium are required to correct glucometabolic disorders associated with DM.…”

“…From the outcomes, it was clear that a notable antinociceptive activity in the hotplate test and writhing response, which is similar to that of the standard. Studies show that different flavonoids, for example, luteolin, rutin, hesperidin, quercetin, and bioflavonoids produced substantial antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities [31]. A couple of reports on tannins as anti-inflammatory activities and antinociceptive properties.…”

Cleome genus includes 601 plant species from the family Cleomaceae. Of more than 600 plants, 206 (34.3%) plants are having accepted species names. Cleome gynandra Linn. is a well-known medicinal plant with traditional and pharmacological importance. A good number of secondary plant metabolites have also been isolated from different parts of C. gynandra. Our investigation confirms two mutant varieties of C. gynandra exists in India. Accordingly, the objective of this study was designed to critically evaluate the pharmacological and phytochemical evaluation of C. gynandra of two mutant variety, to provide a consolidated platform for research potential of both the mutant varieties of C. gynandra. Careful scrutiny reveals that the plant possesses a huge range pharmacological applications, such as anti-inflammatory, free radical scavenging, anticancerous, immunomodulator, and antidiabetic agents. To arrive its pharmacological importance the published papers also shown an enormous amount of phytochemicals endorsement. Scientific perusal reveals different parts of the plant has an immense medicinal importance which proofs its traditional use round the glove. But in North-Eastern region of India, the same plant abundantly found in pink mutant variety. To date, there is not much research investigation for this mutant variety to validate its pharmacological importance. Therefore, research needs to scrutinize and compare the medicinal claims of the pink mutant variety in the bio-diverse region of North-East India.
