ABSTRACT

Medicinal plants are essential to maintaining human health. There are over 7,500 species and 300 genera in the broad family Euphorbiaceous. They are typically the plants that bloom. The Ricinus communis plant, also known as the castor plant, is the most valuable in terms of traditional medicine and maintaining a healthy, disease-free existence. While the plant has multiple beneficial effects, including anti-oxidant, antihistamic, antinociceptive, antiasthmatic, antiulcer, immunemodulatory, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, antifertility, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, central nervous system stimulant, lipolytic, wound healing, insecticidal, and larcvicidal properties, it is traditionally used as a laxative, purgative, fertilizer, and fungicide, among other traditional uses. The plant exhibits this effect as a result of its significant phytochemical components, which include flavonoids, saponins, glycosides, alkaloids, and steroids, among others. This publication aims to provide future researchers with an explanation of the specific Phyto-pharmacological features of Ricinus communis.
