        abstract = {Tridax procumbens (L.) is a widely distributed medicinal herb belonging to the family Asteraceae and is traditionally used in Ayurveda and folk medicine for its broad therapeutic potential. The plant is rich in bioactive phytochemicals including flavonoids, alkaloids, carotenoids, tannins, saponins, and terpenoids, which contribute to its diverse pharmacological activities. Scientific studies have demonstrated that T. procumbens exhibits significant anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, wound-healing, hepatoprotective, antidiabetic, and anti-hypertensive properties. Its leaves and aerial parts are particularly noted for strong free radical–scavenging activity and promotion of tissue repair. Additionally, extracts of the plant have shown promising effects against various bacterial and fungal pathogens, supporting its traditional use in treating infections. Despite extensive ethnomedicinal relevance, further research is required to isolate specific active compounds, standardize extracts, and confirm therapeutic efficacy through clinical studies. Overall, Tridax procumbens represents a valuable medicinal resource with potential applications in pharmaceutical and herbal formulations.
