ABSTRACT:
Astilbe rivularis is a medically rich species belonging to the family Saxifragaceae. An herb that can grow up to 2.5 meters tall and has nearly 20 species in the genus, it is commonly and traditionally used as medicine in Nepal and the Eastern Himalayan regions of Darjeeling and Sikkim. Astilbe rivularis have been medically used in the treatment of swelling, spasm, gastric ulcer, diarrhea, and bleeding. Due to the presence of phytoconstituents like alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and coumarin, medical activity can be triggered and below a comprehensive review of its chemical constituents, ethnomedical use and pharmacological profit as a medical plant has been given. Separation of these compounds leads to the affirmation of particular biological activities like anti-inflammation, anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant, and anti-peptic ulcer as that its potential use can be better evaluated.
