The multidimensional therapeutic potential of Rumex Nepalensis: A comprehensive review

Rumex nepalensis spreng. (Polygonaceae), sometimes known as Nepal Dock, has broad-spectrum therapeutic qualities and has been used in traditional medicine for millennia. This plant's extracts and metabolites are anti-inflammatory, wound healing, and skeletal muscle relaxant. The leaves of this shrub are edible and strong in antioxidants. It has the potential to be a rich source of treatment against major illnesses due to its extraordinary biological activity. More research is needed, however, to describe the mechanism of action, isolate and identify the active ingredients, and scientifically validate the plant's traditional use. We give a comprehensive analysis of its botany, ecology, traditional use, and significant pharmacological activities discovered in recent years, and hope that this will serve as a resource for future study on this plant.
