Abstract
Aim: Gloriosa superba Linn., is a procumbent herbaceous climber and different parts of G. superba, have wide diversity of uses especially in traditional system of medicine among local healers. The goal of the current review is to gather information on research updates and claims pertaining to ethno medicine and folklore that is currently accessible. Material and Methods: Information and data regarding reported ethno medicinal uses and folklore claims of the G. superba were searched from ethnomedicinal books and published research articles. Results: G. superba has been identified by 48 different tribes/communities in 2 countries and 8 states of India, and known by 16 names in 8 different languages. It has been used in the management of 36 disease conditions for its traditional folklore therapeutic uses. Additionally, pharmacological studies have reported its anti-arthritis, anti-inflammatory, abortifacient, and oxytocic activities. Conclusion: The claims found in folklore can serve as a basis for future research to support their ethnic origins through pharmacological and clinical studies.
