Abstract
The association of humans and animals with plants originated with the beginning of the life on the earth when plants supplied much of the shelter, oxygen, food and medicine for higher life. The use of herbs and its extracts for their healing powers have been traced early and writings used to code those plants that can ease disease. India being the treasure house of biodiversity with its diverse ecological conditions rich ethnic diversity and strong traditional knowledge base accounts for 45,000 plant species out of which is used in herbal formulation. The Artocarpus (Moraceae) comprises about 50 species of evergreen and deciduous trees. The genus is economically importance as a source of edible fruit, timber and folk medicines. The aim of the present review is to cover the comprehensive information of the plant Artocarpus hirsutus. The extensive biological evaluation on the components of this species rarely appears in literature which restricts its use as medicinal herb. The fruits and seeds of the plant were edible and many parts of the plants were used in folk medicine meant for external use.
