Abstract
REVIEW ON “PIPAL TREE”– FICUS RELIGIOSA
Avishkar A. Bhusari*
ABSTRACT
Herbs have always been the principal form of medicine in India. Medicinal plants have curative properties due to
the presence of various complex chemical substances of different composition, which are found as secondary plant
metabolites in one or more parts of these plants. Ficus religiosa (L.), commonly known as pepal belonging to the
family Moraceae, is used traditionally as antiulcer, antibacterial, antidiabetic, in the treatment of gonorrhea and
skin diseases. F. religiosa is a Bo tree, which sheltered the Buddha as he divined the “Truths.” The present review
aims to update information on its phytochemistry and pharmacological activities.
