Saraca asoca (Roxb.) Willd. one of the oldest trees in India, is a member of the Caesalpiniaceae subfamily of Fabaceae family. The species is regarded all over India as a tree with strong cultural, religious and therapeutic purpose. This tree can be found in most of the ancient Indian literatures wherein their great healing potential was recognized. S. asoca has been used extensively in Ayurvedic and Unani medicine, particularly for the treatment of gynaecological conditions like leucorrhoea, uterine fibroids, menorrhagia, and dysmenorrhea. It has been used in traditional medicine to treat infections, skin disorders, haemorrhoids, and urinary problems, in addition to reproductive aspects. Many of these applications have already been validated by modern pharmacological research, which has ultimately increased its popularity. Bark, leaf, flower, and seed extracts have exhibited anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, antidiabetic, wound-healing, anthelmintic, antipyretic, and antioxidant activities. Demonstrated favorable effects on oxidative stress, lipid metabolism, glucose regulation, and uterine well-being in animal models, provide a scientific basis for its ongoing medical use.
