It is therefore necessary to prove the biological activities of the selected plants scientifically using modern technology. The current study focuses on the use of &lt;em&gt;Cardiospermum halicacabum &lt;/em&gt;in their wound healing applications. &lt;em&gt;Cardiospermum halicacabum&lt;/em&gt; is a well-known plant that has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic properties and it is also used to treat joint pains, muscle tears, back pain, etc. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; In this study methanolic extracts of the active compounds from &lt;em&gt;Cardiospermum halicacabum &lt;/em&gt;were tested for its phytochemical attributes by qualitative method, GC-MS, and the antioxidant properties were also assessed. The bactericidal activity and Minimal Inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the plant extract has been evaluated in both Gram +ve and Gram -ve microorganisms using the disc diffusion method. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The results obtained showed the presence of significant antibacterial and antioxidant activity. The plant extract was found to be more active against Gram positive microbes compared to Gram negative microbes. The extract has the radical scavenging activity of about 77%. And the GCMS results showed the presence of different phytocompounds which are greatly known for their pharmacognistic activities.&lt;/p&gt;
