Summary

Review Article

During literature survey of different plants, we came across a pant named Eclipta Alba, with too many different pharmacological actions, which keep motivated us to re-review the world of Eclipta Alba. In order to find some more aspects, this review has been summarized with too many works of different scientists across the world. During this task, we found that Eclipta alba has too many chemical constituents like Coumestans, Luteolins, Flavanoids and Glycosides which are responsible for their variety of pharmacological actions such as Immunomodulator, Antimicrobial, Anti-inflammatory, Analgesic, Anti-hyperglycemic, Anti-anaphylactic, Anthelmintic, Anti-viral, Ovicidal, Anti-hypertensive, Hepatoprotective, Anti-cancer, Antioxidant etc. We found that Eclipta alba has too many chemical constituents like Coumestans, Luteolins, Flavanoids and Glycosides which are responsible for their variety of pharmacological actions such as Immunomodulator, Antimicrobial, Anti-inflammatory, Analgesic, Anti-hyperglycemic, Anti-anaphylactic, Anthelmintic, Anti-viral, Ovicidal, Anti-hypertensive, Hepatoprotective, Anti-cancer, Antioxidant etc. it is used as anti-venome
