Abstract :
Prehistoric man is known to utilize the plant
as medicine for period millenary. A large number of
plants are using in medicinal practice not only in
Chinese Traditional Medicine but also in Ayurvedic and
Unani Medicine. This review focus on chemical
composition and pharmaceutical effect based on nutrient
present in Celosia cristata. Celosia cristata are the
ornamental as well as medicinal, herbaceous, annual
dicotyledon plant. It belongs to the familyAmaranthaceae. It is well known as cockscomb,crested
Celosia, laal murga (in local), and jataadhaari (in
Ayurveda). It is mostly found in southern China and
tropical and subtropical regions around the world like
Africa, India, and Southern America. The plant contains
attractive and conspiciuous inflorescence, with numerous
tiny seeds. The plant has been used in several clinical
conditions like dysentery, extreme menstruation,
intestinal bleeding, mouth sores, and eye disease. To
estimate nutritional component physiochemical,
fluorescence, and physiochemical assessment method
done. Physiochemical analysis of Celosia cristata shows
the carbohydrates, proteins, alkaloids, saponin,
flavonoids, phenolic compounds, tannins, and
triterpenoids are present. The said plant illustrates many
different pharmacological activities like antihepatotoxic,
adipogenic, antioxidant, anthelmintic, antiviral,
antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antidiabetic, and hemostatic
effects.
