Vetiver is a traditional plant with versatile applications in medicine, aroma, commerce, environmental-protection, and agriculture. This review was designed to compile all the latest information on phytochemistry, pharmacology, and traditional uses of C. zizanioides. All the information related to this plant was gathered from several authentic sites, using keywords like Chrysopogon zizanioides, Vetiveria zizanioides, Khus, and Khas-Khas. The included resources were journaled articles, book chapters, books, Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeias, and Ayurvedic Formulary of India, from science direct, PubMed, research gate etc. All the necessary, relevant, authentic, and updated information were tried to inculcate in the manuscript. The literature was collected via online sites like Pub med, Scopus, and Science direct as well. During compilation, it observed that many traditional utilities of vetiver got their authentication when tested using different disease-based pharmacological models taking various extracts of roots, leaves, and root oil as test samples. However, systematic studies for isolation of active constituents and establishing their mechanism of action are still required to be validated. On the other hand, the development of novel and robust techniques needed for oil extraction can further enhance the exploration of biological utilities faster. Moreover, the cultivators and harvesters must address carefully to prevent the linked drawback of soil erosion.
香根草是一种传统植物，在医学、香料、商业、环保和农业等领域具有广泛的应用。本综述旨在收集有关香根草植物的植物化学、药理学和传统用途的最新信息。使用香根草、香根草、苦艾和卡什-卡什等关键词，从多个可靠网站收集了与该植物相关的所有信息。包括的资源有期刊文章、书籍章节、书籍、印度阿育吠陀药典和阿育吠陀配方，来源于科学直接、PubMed、研究门等。在撰写手稿时，尝试纳入所有必要、相关、真实和最新的信息。文献也通过在线网站如 Pubmed、Scopus 和 Science direct 收集。在编译过程中，观察到许多香根草的传统用途在经过不同疾病相关的药理学模型测试时得到了验证，这些模型使用根、叶和根油的各种提取物作为测试样本。然而，仍需要进行系统的研究以分离活性成分并确定其作用机制，以验证其有效性。另一方面，需要开发新型、强大的油脂提取技术，以加快对生物利用度的探索。此外，种植者和采集者必须小心处理，以防止与土壤侵蚀相关的不利影响。
