This review of Eclipta prostrata is an endeavor to bring together the Pharmacological, Biological, chemical and therapeutic value of this traditional Indian plant. The inclusive and comprehensive literature on the Bhringraj plant is prepared using different online resources, such as GooglesScholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and further dependable online databases. Necessary, appropriate evidence from the articles analyzed and included. Numerous E. prostrata extracts and isolated compounds demonstrated a broad spectrum of biological activity, including hepato-protective, neuro-protective, anti-bacterial, and anti-alopecia properties. So far, comparatively few investigations have been conducted to identify the precise phytoconstituents accountable for the related pharmacological effects. Clinical and animal model-based comprehensive mechanism-based research should be the main areas of future investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
