Abstract

This systematic review focuses on Myrica Esculenta, a medicinal plant with a rich history in traditional medicine. The aim of the review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the ethnopharmacology of the plant, including its traditional uses, phytochemistry and pharmacological benefits. Common uses of M. Esculenta include treating respiratory diseases such as asthma and bronchitis, as well as gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea and ulcers. The plant is also used to treat fever, anemia and various ear, nose and throat diseases. With its recognition in the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia and its widespread use in folk medicine, M. Esculenta has significant ethnopharmacological value. Through phytochemical analysis, flavonoids, tannins, steroids and terpenes have been identified as the plant's main components, which are believed to contribute to its medicinal properties such as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-cancer effects. Pharmacological studies have confirmed the therapeutic potential of M. Esculenta and demonstrated its antiasthmatic, antiulcerative, anxiolytic, hepatoprotective and wound healing properties. Conservation measures are crucial to protect the plant from over-exploitation and habitat loss. Suggestions such as micropropagation, germplasm preservation and synthetic seed production make sense for sustainable use.
