Abstract

The present comprehensive review was conducted in the Department of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering of Islamic University, Kushtia, to pile up update ethno-pharmacological information of Lippia alba (Mill) that is available in different scientific literatures. L. alba, belongs to the family of verbenaceae, found everywhere in Bangladesh and it is commonly used in folk medicine to treat gastric illnesses, diarrhea, fever, asthma, malaria, and inflammation. Phytochemical analysis showed that the crude extract of fresh leaves consists of some valuable essential oils and that is found to be effective against bacteria, fungus, protozoa, and virus. The present paper also covers the taxonomy, morphology, monograph, usable parts, and distribution of this valuable medicinal plant.
