Abstract

Traditional medicine is a body of knowledge, skills, and practices based on traditional cultures' presumptions, beliefs, and experiences in order to maintain their health. Traditional herbal treatments are highly valued among many rural or indigenous people in many underdeveloped nations. According to the World Health Organization, about 80% of the world's population relies on traditional medicine, with 60% of rural Indians using herbal treatments. During the previous five years, utilization of herbal supplements grew from 2.5 % to 12 percent. Mangifera indica, a plant that is frequently used in ayurvedic medicine. Although there have already been literature reviews on this plant, this one is presented to gather all the most recent data on its pharmacological and phytochemical activities, which have been widely studied using a variety of techniques. Mango is said to have antidiabetic, anti-oxidant, antiviral, cardiotonic, hypotensive, and anti-inflammatory properties, according to studies. Numerous effects have also been investigated, including hypolipidemia, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective, and gastroprotective properties. Other effects include antibacterial, antifungal, anthelmintic, antiparasitic, antitumor, anti-HIV, anti-bone demineralization, antispasmodic, antipyretic, antidiarrheal, and immunomodulatory properties. These studies are extremely positive and suggest that additional research on this herb is needed to confirm these findings and elucidate additional potential therapeutic effects. The use of mango in clinical trials for a range of ailments is also recommended.
