Herbs have always been the principal form of medicine in India. Medicinal plants have curative properties due to the presence of various complex chemical substances of different composition, which are found as secondary plant metabolites in one or more parts of these plants. Ficus religiosa (L.), commonly known as pepal belonging to the family Moraceae, is used traditionally as antiulcer, antibacterial, antidiabetic, in the treatment of gonorrhea and skin diseases. F. religiosa is a Bo tree, which sheltered the Buddha as he divined the "Truths." The present review aims to update information on its phytochemistry and pharmacological activities.
草药一直是印度医学的主要形式。药用植物因其含有各种成分不同的复杂化学物质而具有治疗特性，这些化学物质作为植物次生代谢产物存在于这些植物的一个或多个部位。菩提树（Ficus religiosa (L.)），通常被称为菩提，属于桑科，传统上用于治疗溃疡、抗菌、抗糖尿病、淋病和皮肤病。菩提树是一棵菩提树，在佛陀领悟“真理”时为他遮风挡雨。本综述旨在更新其植物化学和药理活性方面的信息。
