ABSTRACT:
At present there has been an enhanced attention universally to recognize plants and discover their therapeutic potentials. As because drugs which obtain from nature Pharmacologically potent and have low or no side effects for use in preventive medicine and the food industry. They represent a potential source of new compounds with different pharmacological activity. Conventional herbal medicines form an important part of the healthcare system of India. Ayurveda, is the oldest medicine all over the world, we can obtain a potential leads and therapeutically active and useful compounds from nature. Considering the increasing awareness in the field of plant drugs assessing diverse pharmacological activity. In this review we have discuss about the therapeutic potential of Bryophytes. It is available all over the globe. Bryophytes are having some reported activities like, anti-cancer, anti-microbial, anti-diabetic, hypolipidemic, hepatoprotective potential.
