Chrysopogon zizanioides-a review on its pharmacognosy, chemical composition and pharmacological activities

Madhuri Grover et al.

Summary: Vetiver is a traditional plant with versatile applications, and this review compiled the latest information on its phytochemistry, pharmacology, and traditional uses. Traditional utilities of vetiver have been validated in disease-based pharmacological models, but more studies are needed to isolate active constituents and establish their mechanism of action. Additionally, the development of novel techniques for oil extraction is necessary for further exploration of its biological utilities, while attention should be paid to preventing soil erosion during cultivation and harvesting.
