An Overview on Tridax Plant
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Every part of India is home to a particular kind of weed called Tridax procumbens Linn (Compositae). These days, you can find this plant growing wild throughout the tropics of Africa, Australia, and Asia. Its native habitat is in the tropical Americas. The locals call it "Ghamara," and some Ayurvedic doctors recommend it for "Bhringraj" (that's what we call "coat buttons" in English). Various compounds were identified during the phytochemical screening. Carotenoids, olcanolic acid, saponins, and ions like potassium, sodium, and calcium abound in it. Its blossoms contain four different types of quercetin: luteolin, glucoluteolin, quercetin, and isoquercetin. Its long list of pharmacological benefits includes protection against liver disease, inflammation, wound healing, diabetes, high blood pressure, dysentery, diarrhoea, and falls.
