Abstract

Tridax procumbens Linn., commonly known as coat buttons or tridax daisy, is a wild plant that grows as a weed across India. Originally native to tropical America, it has become naturalized in tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Australia. The plant Tridax procumbens, locally known as "Ghamara" and commonly referred to as 'coat buttons,' is utilized as "Bhringraj" in Ayurveda for promoting hair growth. Pharmacognostical studies have established its physical and leaf constants. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, carotenoids, flavonoids, fumaric acid, ?-sitosterol, saponins, and tannins. The plant is rich in carotenoids, saponins, oleanolic acid, and essential ions such as sodium, potassium, and calcium. Additionally, compounds like luteolin, glucoluteolin, quercetin, and isoquercetin have been identified in its flowers. Tridax procumbens is a highly promising plant species known for producing secondary metabolites with various medicinal properties, including anti-anemic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and anesthetic effects. It has a rich history of traditional use across different communities. The leaf juice of Tridax procumbens is valued for its antiseptic, insecticidal, and parasiticidal properties. It is used to treat conjunctivitis and prevent hemorrhage from cuts, bruises, and wounds. Additionally, it acts as an insect repellent. This review highlights the plant's prevalence in folk medicine, its diverse range of phytochemicals, and its extensive pharmacological activities.
