Abstract
The Indian traditional system of medicine is one of the oldest and most
comprehensive systems of healthcare in the world. Medicinal plants form the
foundation of India’s rich traditional medical systems. Systems like Ayurveda,
Siddha, Unani, and Folk medicine have used plants for thousands of years due to
their natural and holistic healing property. However, their safe and effective
use requires scientific validation, regulation, and awareness of
limitations. Integrating traditional wisdom with modern research is the key to
maximizing the benefits and minimizing the risks. Dregea volubilis
(L.f.) Benth.ex Hook.f. is one such important medicinal plant. This
comprehensive review explores the medicinal properties of this plant, aiming to
bridge the gap between its traditional uses and the scientific validation. The
botanical description, traditional uses, phytopharmacological investigations,
biosynthesized nanoparticles and toxicological studies of this plant are
discussed in this review based on an extensive survey of the existing literature.
