        abstract = {Terminalia arjuna (Roxb.) Wight & Arn., 
commonly known as Arjuna, is a prominent medicinal 
plant widely used in traditional Indian medicine, 
particularly Ayurveda. Native to the Indian 
subcontinent, the bark of this large deciduous tree has 
been historically valued for its potent cardioprotective 
properties. The World Health Organization estimates 
that a significant portion of the global population relies 
on herbal medicines, underscoring the importance of 
plants like T. arjuna in primary healthcare.  
Phytochemical analyses reveal that T. arjuna is rich in 
bioactive compounds such as triterpenoids (arjunic 
acid, arjunolic acid), flavonoids, tannins, and 
glycosides, which contribute to its antioxidant, anti
inflammatory, and cardiotonic effects. Pharmacological 
studies support its efficacy in treating various 
cardiovascular conditions, including hypertension, 
congestive heart failure, angina, dyslipidemia, and 
ischemic mitral regurgitation. Additionally, the plant 
exhibits hepatoprotective, antidiabetic, and wound 
healing properties.  
This 
review highlights the botanical profile, 
phytochemistry, ethnopharmacology, and therapeutic 
significance of Terminalia arjuna, emphasizing its role 
as a natural remedy for cardiovascular health and other 
systemic disorders.},
