Phytotherapeutic Potential of Desmostachya bipinnata (L.) Stapf. - A Narrative Review
Abstract
Oral cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in India. It is mostly caused by radiation exposure, genetics, alcohol and cigarette use, and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infections, along with other factors. Even with the latest developments in the identification and management of oral cancer, patients’ quality of life is still gravely impaired. A potentially beneficial adjunctive therapy to lessen the side effects of conventional medicines is traditional medicine. For centuries, plant extracts have been employed in the treatment of numerous diseases, including cancer and conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disorders. Numerous pharmacological activities of the Dharba plant, Desmostachya bipinnate, have been demonstrated, notably antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. Phytochemicals, found in these plants, are bioactive substances with therapeutic effects for a variety of ailments.
