In various Indigenous system of medicine like auyrveda, siddha, unani and homeopathic treatments different plant parts which include leaf, stem, bark, roots are used as medicines. Ougeinia oojeinensis (Fabaceae) generally mentioned as ‘sadan/Tinsa’. It generally found in sub-tropical areas of India. The present study on Ougeinia oojeinensis plant shows the various types of medicinal uses according to their Phytoconstituent. Entire plant incorporates bioactive ingredients (constituents) are genistein, ougenin, dalbergioidin, kaempferol, lupeol, Ferreirin, neophellamuretin, homoferririn isoflavanone and betulin etc. Moreover the bark use as astringent, acrid, cooling, stimulant, anti-inflammatory, constipating, anthelmintic, sudorific, depurative, urinary astringent, styptic & febrifuge. The plant has determined in various preparations in pharmaceuticals. Various studies of the entire plant extract confirmed anti – inflammatory, hypotensive action, anthelmintic, antioxidant activity, hepatoprotective, hypoglycemic and wound restoration activities. The review summarizes the all essential elements associated with Ougeinia oojeinensis which offers extensive information of the herb and it’s pharmacological investigations.
