Abstract
V. wallichii, often known as Valeriana jatamansi, is a significant medicinal herb. The word ‘Valerian’, which is derived from the word ‘Velo’ means ‘strong drug’, was originally used by an Indian doctor in the ninth century. This review focus on their geographical characterization, botanical characterization, traditional uses, and their mechanism of action on various bioactivity. This review discusses the major bioactive constituents and their 2D and 3D structures. V. jatamansi mostly preferred humus-rich, fertile, loamy soil with slightly acidic to neutral pH (6-7). This plant has very good antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory activity, antibacterial activity, cytotoxic activity, anxiolytic activity, and hyperactive effects. It is found growing in the vicinity of an uncontrolled forest of Netherlands, France, Britain, Belgium, Eastern Europe, Germany, and Japan. It is also found growing in parts of Pakistan, southwestern China, Burma, and South-East Asia. Usually, this herb grows well under deep shade conditions having an ideal temperature of 15–25ºC with 80–90% of relative humidity). The herb has been employed as traditional medicine in the Himalayas health systems of Ayurveda, Siddha, Homeopathy, Ethnomedicine, and the Indian System of Medicine (ISM). In future studies, we warranted that the various bioactivity of V. Jatamansi and their mechanism of action on various diseases are explored.
Keywords: Valeriana jatamansi, traditional uses, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, cytotoxic activity, anxiolytic, hyperactive, bioactivity
