() has been used to treat several diseases in different countries, such as lung diseases, stomach problems, rheumatic pains, boosting immunity etc. However, the information on phytochemistry, pharmacology and toxicology of this plant has rarely been comprehensively and critically reported. This paper aims to study and evaluate its therapeutic potential, including the traditional uses and all the latest information of phytochemistry, pharmacology and toxicology. The main components of this plant are phenols compounds and the characteristic substance is bergenin.The results about modern pharmacology have shown that its pharmacological effects include antibacterial, antiviral, cough relieving, anti-inflammatory and so on. In addition, it could inhibit diabetic neuropathy, restore insulin secretion, treat cancer, protect liver and prevent Alzheimer's disease (AD). Thus, its therapeutic fields may be cancer, diabetic and AD in the future. The information will help to further update and study pharmacologic effect and action mechanism of this herb, which is more widely, effectively, and safely used in clinic.
