Cyperus Rotundus L.: Phytochemistry and Pharmacological Activities

The review paper on Cyperus rotundus L. explores its historical and current medical uses, particularly its rhizomes, which have been employed in treating a variety of conditions such as stomach and intestinal diseases, diabetes, malaria, diarrhea, inflammation, fever, and pain. The study delves into the pharmacognostic, phytochemical, and physicochemical properties of the rhizome, suggesting that these characteristics can aid in the identification of C. rotundus, especially in powdered form, and help differentiate it from other species.
