Abstract

Cotula cinerea Del. belongs to the family Asteraceae. It is widely used in the traditional medicinal system for the treatment of various ailments such as colic, cough, diarrhea, digestive disorders, rheumatism, urinary and pulmonary infections, fever and headaches. Cotula cinerea contains a wide range of phytochemical compounds such as saponins, essential oils, tannins, flavonoids, steroids, and terpenoids. This paper reviews information pertaining its traditional uses, phytochemistry and biological activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, herbicidal, anti-diarrheal and analgesic properties. It is hoped that the information presented here might stimulate further studies that will possibly lead to development of therapeutic agents from this plant

Keywords: Asteraceae, Cotula cinerea, Traditional uses, Phytochemistry, Biological activities
