Abstract
Mangifera indica is a commonly used herb in Ayurvedic medicine. Mangifera indica L. belongs to the family of Anacardiaceous. Countries under tropical and subtropical zones are the top mango-producing countries. Leaves extracts of the mango plant have been studied for various health benefits, which are attributed to the excessive number of phytochemicals such as mangiferin, followed by benzophenones, phenolic acids, and other antioxidants such as flavonoids, ascorbic acid, carotenoids, and tocopherols. Its various pharmacological activities have been studied such as anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, anti-obesity, lipid-lowering, hepato-protection, and anti-diarrheal.
