Cymbidiums are scientifically intriguing owing to their wide range of bioactive compounds and diverse range of biological activities. The genus Cymbidium is reported to be socially important in numerous social cultures, including religious, protective, ornamental, cosmetic, and medicinal purposes. Furthermore, the members of the genus Cymbidium contain numerous phytoconstituents with diverse health-promoting properties such as anti-cancerous, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, and neuroprotective effects. Due to its high ornamental value and usage in traditional medicines, the genus has been over-exploited and it is under threat. Therefore, it is crucial to study this genus of high medicinal importance so as to harness its bioactive compounds without over-exploiting the natural populations. The current review aims to provide a concise overview of the biologically active compounds present in the Cymbidium orchids. To validate the use of plants in traditional medicines, it is essential to conduct comprehensive research for the confirmation of their biological activities.
