Abstract

Hyptis suaveolens (Fam: Lamiaceae) is an important medicinal plant with several medicinal uses in both folklore and traditional systems of medicine. Various extracts of the plant have been reported to possess anti-diabetic activity, anti-ulcer activity, analgesic activity, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activity, and also used for treating constipation, cough, and gonorrhea reported by different authors. Yet many other activities lack scientific evidence. The literature review reveals that a wide range of phytoconstituents have been isolated from the plant and they possess an array of pharmacological activities. An exhaustive and up-to-date survey of literature on botanical and ethnobotanical profiles, and earlier phytochemical and pharmacological works done on the Hyptis suaveolens.
