Abstract
Scientific studies provide compelling evidence supporting Nyctanthes arbor-tristis as an Ayurvedic medicinal plant, with traditional healers suggesting its leaves contain anti-inflammatory agents that could aid with treating conditions like arthritis and gout; however, more clinical data must be presented to verify these claims. Recent research has examined the anti-inflammatory properties of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis. An in-depth examination of its leaves identified multiple compounds with potential anti-inflammatory activities; of these compounds, Lupeol showed intense inhibitory action by stopping the production of proinflammatory cytokines; these results indicate that Nyctanthes arbor-tristis may serve as an effective therapy to address inflammation-based disorders like arthritis. At this juncture, evidence demonstrating Nyctanthes arbor-tristis' therapeutic potential and anti-inflammatory effects warrant further examination. Additional clinical research must also occur to fully understand these mechanisms and establish their safety and efficacy within clinical environments.
