Tribal, rural and primitive societies have discovered solution for treatment of disease to almost all their needs and their problems from the natural resources around them.hence in recent years, ethno medicinal studies received much attention as this brings to light the numerous little known and unknown medicinal virtues especially of plant origin which needs evaluation on modern scientific lines such as phytochemical analysis, pharmacological screening and clinical trials. The present work describes the various pharmacological activities done on Ficus bengalensis.
