In this modern era, there are many traditional medicines used in the management of skin diseases, among which Cissampelos pareira L. is an important medicinal plant that is well known plant in the tribal areas. This study focuses on the phytochemical constituents, biological activities and therapeutic properties of Cissampelos pareira L. from various botanical sources. The root of this plant has been studied in this way, and it has been traditionally used in the tribal areas for various skin diseases for a long time. Phytochemical investigation of Cissampelos pareira L. has revealed that it contains various secondary metabolites including alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, phenolic compounds, and tannins, which scientifically prove that it is capable of curing skin diseases. These biological activities help in controlling various types of microbial infections in skin diseases and reducing oxidative stress. For antimicrobial study here taken both gram positive (S. pyogene) and gram-negative bacteria (E. coli). Cissampelos pareira L. show the strong activity against the only gram-positive bacteria whereas, gram negative bacteria have no zone of inhibition. So, as the demand for herbal medicines is increasing in the modern era, there is a need for scientific attention to validate Cissampelos pareira L. to keeping this in mind, this study was conducted. Therefore, considering its phytochemical profile and medicinal properties, we studying how it can be further promoted and become a necessary treatment for skin diseases.
