Abstract

Since ancient times, Indian or sausage trees have been utilized to heal a variety of human afflictions. Ethnobotanists have documented the traditional uses of , which include the management of skin conditions, cancer, and gynaecological problems. Scientists have been interested in assessing the bioactivity of plant components of . Numerous researchers have been most interested in its fruit and leaves due to their diverse pharmacological properties. has been used to develop items that are sold commercially, yet many of them lack complete standardization. It is necessary to carry out additional research, extract novel bioactive phytochemicals, standardize products, and scientifically confirm other traditional applications of ; despite numerous efforts by researchers to do so, many of these claims remain unsupported. The purpose of this review was to draw attention to 's undiscovered cosmetic potential.
