The study was conducted to find out medicinal use of pomegranate flowers. About 25 research papers were studied from various databases like Pubmed, Google Scholar, Science Direct etc. the results revealed that pomegranate flower has a therapeutic effect on rat models having diabetes, nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, oxidative stress, arthritis etc. due to its anti oxi dative property, anti-inflammatory property and he pato protective property and many more therapeutic benefits. It is thus concluded that pomegranate flowers can be used as herbal remedy in many diseases thus not only being cost effective but also having no side effects. It is usually considered as a by-product of pomegranate cultivation as drop rate of flowers are very high and leads to agricultural waste. Thus to get best out of waste, nutritional analysis of fresh pomegranate flowers and dry pomegranate flower powder was also done. Results were statistically analysed. Further exclusive and intense studies on the effect of pomegranate flower on humans with these diseases need to be done.
