Ethanomedicinal properties of Butea monosperma(Palas,)

Author(s) Dr. Rohini Ojha Sharma, B. K. Mehta
Country India
Abstract Butea monosperma (Lam.) Taub., commonly known as Palas or “Flame of the Forest,” is a widely distributed medicinal plant in India and other parts of South Asia, deeply rooted in traditional healthcare systems such as Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, and various folk practices. Ethnomedicinally, different parts of the plant—including flowers, leaves, bark, seeds, and gum—are extensively used by indigenous communities for the treatment of numerous ailments. The flowers are traditionally employed as anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and hepatoprotective agents, while the bark is used for its astringent and antimicrobial properties. Seeds of B. monosperma are well known for their anthelmintic and anti-parasitic activities, particularly in treating intestinal worm infections. Leaf extracts are used in wound healing, ulcers, and skin disorders, whereas the gum (Bengal kino) is utilized in diarrhea and dysentery. Phytochemical investigations reveal the presence of bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, chalcones, steroids, tannins, and glycosides, which may be responsible for its therapeutic efficacy. The rich ethnomedicinal knowledge associated with Butea monosperma highlights its significant potential as a source of natural therapeutic agents and supports the need for further pharmacological and clinical studies to validate its traditional uses.
