Phytochemical profiling of Ayurvedic plants is crucial in understanding their therapeutic potential, as these plants have been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments in traditional medicine. Ayurvedic plants contain a rich variety of bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, terpenoids, and glycosides, which contribute to their medicinal properties. This paper aims to explore the phytochemical composition of several important Ayurvedic plants and their corresponding medicinal properties, with a focus on the plants' efficacy in managing chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and cancer. A systematic review of existing literature was conducted, analyzing the phytochemical constituents of key Ayurvedic plants and their biological activities. Studies have shown that these plants exhibit anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties, making them valuable candidates for developing novel therapeutic agents. The research further investigates the mechanisms through which these plants exert their effects, providing insights into their role in modern pharmacology. By compiling current knowledge on Ayurvedic plant phytochemistry, this paper aims to contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting the integration of traditional medicine into contemporary healthcare systems. Moreover, the research highlights the need for further investigation into the pharmacological potential of these plants and the standardization of their medicinal applications. This review ultimately seeks to bridge the gap between traditional Ayurvedic practices and modern scientific understanding, facilitating the development of safe and effective phytotherapeutic options for global health challenges.
