Abstract

Prosopis cineraria is a member of the Leguminosae family, often referred to as Khejri, Khijdo, Shami, and Jandi. The tree is known as Kalptaru because all of its components are beneficial. It is also known as the "wonder tree," making it the "lord of the desert." Locally known as "Sangari," the pods are fresh green vegetables that Rajasthani people enjoy together with its dry fruits. In times of scarcity, make pickles with Karir (Capparis decidua) and use them with bajara chapati as a meal. It is also a good source of vitamins for people who live in desert areas. The herb has also been employed as a folk treatment for various illnesses in indigenous folk medicine systems, including leprosy, dysentery, bronchitis, asthma, leukoderma, piles, muscle spasms, and wandering thoughts. Plant components such as leaves, pods, flowers, stems, and seeds have unique metabolites. Significant phytochemical substances found in plants have previously been identified as including fatty acids, carbohydrates, protein, saponins, tannins, alkaloids, and glucoside. Analgesic activity, antitumor activity, anticonvulsant activity, antihyperlipidemic activity, antipyretic activity, and antimicrobial activity are some of the pharmacological properties of plants.
