Abstract

Bergenia ciliata is considered a highly valued medicinal herb popularly known as ‘Pashaanbheda’ (means to dissolve stone) in the Indian System of Medicine and belongs to the family of Saxifragaceae. Phytochemical studies proved that it contains many bioactive compounds which belong to coumarins, benzenoids, carbohydrates, lactones, tannins, phenols, and sterols which mainly show a wide spectrum of Pharmacological activities such as antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and antioxidant activity. This review has provided overall and updated information on Pharmacognosy, phytochemistry, traditional use, toxicology, and pharmacology of B. ciliata. This review highlighted the biological activities of Bergenia (active constituent of Bergenia ciliata) and aims to shatter information about B. ciliata in sum to explore its therapeutic potential and future therapeutic opportunities. The drug is reviewed by information collected from scientific journals, Web of Science, Scopus, books, and Google Scholar. Despite having good pharmacological activity, it shows some toxic effects on living profile in several studies.
