Tannin is very important chemical constituent present in various types of medicinal plants in different parts of world. Medicinal plants like Myrobalan, Ashoka, Arjuna, Pale catechu, Black catechu, Bahera, Amla, Pterocarpus, Amra, etc are showing different tannins types of chemical compositions. These medicinal plants are having those rich sources of tannins in their different parts such as bark, leaves, fruits, etc. Tannins containing medicinal plants exhibit various pharmacological activities like laxatives, purgatives, diuretics, cardiotonics, antioxidant, anti-diarrhoeal, sedatives, anti-diabetic, anti-rheumatism, astringent, anti-dysentery, anti-microbial, analgesic, anti-dyspepsia, etc. Some plants shows different properties to help the digestive disorders such as black catechu. Other kinds of tannin containing plants help to treat different skin disorders. Basically, three types of tannins such as hydrolysable condensed and pseudotannins are present in tannin containing medicinal plants. The current study correlates different medicinal plants containing tannin, tannin types, identification of tannins, chemical properties of tannin, tannin containing medicinal plants & its pharmacological actions.
