Nature is a valuable resource, supplying remedies for the treatment of all diseases. Plant kingdom stands for a plethora of natural compounds that are well known for their utilization in therapeutic applications. They may pave the way for the development of new mediators with appropriate efficacy in many pathological disorders in the future. In India and throughout the world, herbs have become a principle and popular medicine. Recognized green medicines are better than synthetic ones and have fewer side effects. Since ancient times, plants have been intended for their medicinal properties for treating various diseases owing to their fewer side effects, availability of the agent, cost-efficiency, and potential effectiveness. The medicinal value of plants stems from various vegetative parts of the plant, including flowers, fruit, bark, roots, leaves, seeds, and its modified parts. The Indian forests are the major repository of remedial and aromatic medicinal plants, which can be used for the production of a plethora of remedies against various diseases. is one of the traditional Ayurvedic medicinal plants considered a rich source of ingredients that can be used in drug development as home remedies to treat various diseases, such as diarrhea, constipation, hypertension, dehydration, bronchial asthma, leucorrhea, cancer, infection, as well as liver and stomach disorders. The seed powder is known for its notable medicinal, pharmaceutical, and insecticidal activities. This study highlights the traditional Ayurvedic importance of an eminent medicinal plant, , with its active chemical constituents, as well as pharmacological, environmental, ecological, economical, and agricultural significance. This plant can be planted everywhere to take advantage of its versatile applications.
