In this study, our objective was to assess its potential as an alternative therapy by analyzing its therapeutic uses and the scientific data that supports it. Nyctanthes arbortristis, a plant widely used in Ayurveda for its anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic qualities, has shown promise in the treatment of several health disorders such as persistent fever, arthritis, parasite infections, and respiratory ailments. Recent studies have found several bioactive chemicals in this plant, including alkaloids, flavonoids, essential oils, and glycosides. These substances contribute to the pharmacological effects of the plant. This report consolidates current research results on the many health advantages of the plant and proposes potential topics for future investigations on the most effective ways to use it for therapeutic purposes. By incorporating Nyctanthes arbortristis into contemporary healthcare, it will be possible to create treatment plans that are both natural and sustainable, while also complementing current practices. 8 31 2024 328 333 1 10.31254/biomed-crossmark-policy www.biomedresearch.org false 10.31254/phyto.2024.13409 https://www.phytopharmajournal.com/assets/pdf_files/Vol13_Issue4_09.pdf
