The kani tribals of Kouthalai in Tirunelvelli hills used the leaves extract to cure skin diseases, poison bites, wounds and rheumatism. Following various folk claims for the ailment of various diseases, efforts have been made by the researchers to verify the efficacy of this weed through scientific biological screenings. A scrutiny of the literature revealed some notable pharmacological activities of the shrub like anthelmintic, Antimalerial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antispasmodic, antioxidant, antigonorrheal, antimycobacterial, insecticidal, fungicidal, wound healing, diuretic, blood coagulation, antibacterial. The present review is an attempt to highlight the various ethnobotanical and traditional uses as well as the phytochemical and pharmacological reports on Chromolaena odorata L.
