Ficus racemosa Linn. is a moderate-sized avenue tree found throughout India
either wild or cultivated for its fruits eaten by villagers. It is popular in Indigenous System of
Medicine like Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Homoeopathy. In the Traditional System of Medicine,
various plant parts such as bark, root, leaves, fruits and latex are used in dysentery, diarrhoea,
diabetes, bilious affections, stomachache, menorrhage, haemoptysis, piles and as carminative and
astringent. The present review is therefore, an effort to give a detailed survey of the literature on its
pharmacognosy, phytochemistry, traditional and pharmacological uses.
