نویسندگان
چکیده
The present review describes the morphological, phytochemical and pharmacologyaspects of Cinnamomum tamala (Lauraceae). The plant grows wild in the tropical and subtropical Himalayas, the Khasi hills, the nilgiri hills and at the foot of the Sikkim Himalayas. There are many plantation of this species. Used as carminative, used in colic and diarrhoea. Bark is aromatic, stimulant, antigonorrhoeic, hypoglycemic, stimulant, anti rheumatic and antidote for scorpion sting. So, the present paper enumerates an overview of phytochemical and pharmacological properties, which may help the researchers to set their minds for approaching the efficacy and potency of herb.
