() or sacred fig is a large perennial tree belonging to the family Moraceae or mulberry family. Though the tree has pan-tropical distribution but originally it is indigenous to the Indian subcontinent and Indochina region. Popularly the tree is named "Pepal or bodhi tree". Traditionally, it is practiced for the treatment of asthma, nose bleeding, heart disorders, diabetes, wound healing, ear problems, constipation, hyperlipidemia, gonorrhea, ulcers and infectious disorders. Chemical analysis demonstrated the presence of numerous bioactives including tannins, phenols, saponins, sugars, alkaloids, methionine, terpenoids, flavonoids, glycosides, proteins, separated amino acids, essential and volatile oils and steroids etc., which are probably responsible for its diverse pharmacological actions. The present work is an attempt to compile up-to-date comprehensive information on that covers its taxonomy, ethnomedicinal importance, phytochemistry, pharmacological attributes and clinical trials. Keeping in mind the various health attributes of , future research can be aimed at in-depth elucidation of the structure-function relationship and multifactorial signalings pathways.
（）或菩提榕是一种大型多年生树，属于桑科或桑树科。尽管该树分布于热带各地，但最初原产于印度次大陆和印度支那地区。该树通常被命名为“菩提或菩提树”。传统上，它被用于治疗哮喘、鼻出血、心脏疾病、糖尿病、伤口愈合、耳部问题、便秘、高血脂、淋病、溃疡和传染病。化学分析表明存在许多生物活性物质，包括单宁、酚类、皂甙、糖、生物碱、蛋氨酸、萜类、类黄酮、糖苷、蛋白质、分离的氨基酸、必需和挥发性油和类固醇等，这些物质可能是其多种药理作用的原因。本工作旨在综合最新信息，涵盖其分类学、民族医学重要性、植物化学、药理学特性和临床试验。考虑到 的各种健康属性，未来的研究可以针对深入阐明结构-功能关系和多因素信号通路。
