A SYSTEMIC REVIEW ON EPIPHYLLUM OXYPETALUM

  • Unique Paper ID: 170957
  • PageNo: 2232-2238
  • Abstract:
  • Oxypetalum epiphyllum (DC.) A common decorative and therapeutic plant, haw is a member of the cactus family. Given that it blooms at night, like most other white flowers, and that its lovely flowers resemble lotuses, it is commonly referred to as the Queen of the Night, Night Blooming Cereus, or Lady of the Night. It is one of the underutilized resources that can be substituted for digitalis and is found in tropical regions of the world. The Shoshone Indian tribe uses the night-blooming Cereus to treat heart pain and refers to it as "pain in the heart." As a unique plant, Epiphyllum oxypetalum Haw. (Family: Cactaceae) has been used for several traditional medicinal purposes. Shortness of breath, uterine bleeding, and coughing up blood have all been treated with the plant. Significant biological and pharmacological effects, including antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, have been reported in earlier studies on this plant. Previous writers have reported on a limited number of phytochemicals. Despite the plant's many therapeutic benefits, researchers have not given it much attention.
