This has prompted increased interest in safer, plant-based alternatives. &lt;em&gt;Tribulus terrestris&lt;/em&gt;, a medicinal herb used as a diuretic agent in traditional systems, has shown promising diuretic activity in recent experimental studies. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;To provide an outline and assess the reported diuretic effects of &lt;em&gt;Tribulus terrestris&lt;/em&gt;, including its phytochemical profile, mechanisms of action, and findings from in vivo, in vitro, and in silico studies. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;An extensive literature survey was performed on the PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases for studies published between 2000 and 2025. The inclusion criterion was original articles evaluating the diuretic activity of &lt;em&gt;Tribulus terrestris&lt;/em&gt;. Articles without diuretic activity were excluded. Data extraction included the plant part used, extract type, dosage, model used and observed effects. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;This review highlights the diuretic properties and phytoconstituents of &lt;em&gt;Tribulus terrestris&lt;/em&gt;. Most studies have used aqueous or ethanolic extracts of fruits or whole plants and reported significant increases in urine output and urinary sodium excretion, which are often comparable to those of standard diuretics such as furosemide. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;This review highlights the preclinical diuretic activity of &lt;em&gt;Tribulus terrestris&lt;/em&gt;. It has shown effective and welltolerated diuretic potential in preclinical and human subjects. It is a promising, likely herbal-based diuretic, natural alternative or complement, adjunct to conventional diuretics, which warrants further investigation through clinical studies.&lt;/p&gt;

However, its use in a diagnosis is limited due to the unclear definition and description. This study aimed to compare knowledge of &lt;em&gt;Phit-Samdaeng&lt;/em&gt; symptoms and treatments in Northeastern folk medicine, Thai Traditional Medicine, and medicinal plants in the Yang Sisurat District of Thailand. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Semistructured interviews and participatory observations were used to collect data from 12 folk healers. Questions were designed to obtain local knowledge of &lt;em&gt;Phit-Samdaeng&lt;/em&gt; and medicinal plants. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, comparison and interpretation. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Some symptoms of &lt;em&gt;Phit-Samdaeng&lt;/em&gt; in the nine scriptures of Thai Traditional Medicine, &lt;em&gt;Tumraya Silajaruek Watprachethupon&lt;/em&gt;, and of &lt;em&gt;Kin-Phit&lt;/em&gt; and&lt;em&gt; Phit-Kaboon&lt;/em&gt;, in &lt;em&gt;Tamraya Boran Isan&lt;/em&gt;, were similar in &lt;em&gt;Yang Sisurat.&lt;/em&gt; However, the names were different. There were also differences in species and the recipes of herbal remedies among folk healers and in the textbooks. The most used plants to treat &lt;em&gt;Phit-Samdaeng &lt;/em&gt;by folk healers were&lt;em&gt; Clerodendrum paniculatum &lt;/em&gt;L. and C&lt;em&gt;lausena wallichii Oliv.&lt;/em&gt; var. &lt;em&gt;guillauminii &lt;/em&gt;(Tanaka) Molino. Only nine species had pharmacological effects relating to &lt;em&gt;Phit-Samdaeng&lt;/em&gt; treatment. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;The knowledge of &lt;em&gt;Phit-Samdaeng &lt;/em&gt;symptoms in &lt;em&gt;Yang Sisurat&lt;/em&gt; District were consistent with the Northeast folk medicine and Thai Traditional Medicine. The most commonly used species were native plants of Thailand. However, information on the medicinal taste and property from scriptures and pharmacological evidence is lacking. Therefore, the pharmacological activity and toxicity of herbal remedies should be further investigated for efficacy and safety.&lt;/p&gt;

However, the plant has not been explored much. In the present scenario of drug resistance and toxicity associated with available drugs, there is a need for elaborated studies of plants like &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argeneta&lt;/em&gt; which had been used as folk medicines. &lt;strong&gt;Aim and Objectives:&lt;/strong&gt; The present article is focused on reviewing the ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, traditional usage, biological activities, of &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argentea&lt;/em&gt; which has been used in traditional medicinal system for ages. The aim of the study was to assess the ethnopharmacological usage of this plant and to explore therapeutic potentials and future opportunities for research. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Information on the traditional usage and studies of the &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argentea&lt;/em&gt; was gathered from from various journals, MSc dissertation, conference abstract, local books. Various search engines including Google Scholar, Baidu Scholar, Elsevier, ACS, Pubmed, Web of Science, CNKI and EMBASE were used to collect the information along with libraries. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argentea&lt;/em&gt; has played an important role in traditional medicines in Algeria, Portugal, Israel and Jordan. The aerial parts of this plant are used as diuretics in Algerian traditional medicines and are used as antiurolithiasis. Leaf decoction of this plant is also used as diuretic. &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argentea&lt;/em&gt; has been used as analgesic, treatment of stomach ulcer, anorexia, and flatulence in Portugal. Scientific studies on extracts of &lt;em&gt;Paronychia&lt;/em&gt; revealed a wide range of pharmacological activities including anti-microbial activity, anti-oxidant, nephroprotective activity. Moreover, few reports have given contradictory data for usage of &lt;em&gt;Paronychia &lt;/em&gt;when compared with its traditional usage. As in the case of alpha-amylase inhibitory efficacy of PA, it was observed that PA inhibits alpha-amylase activity but later on it was proven that PA does not have a hypoglycemic effect. Main bioactive metabolites present in this plant include alkaloids, flavonoids, volatile oils, etc. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; Based on this review, there are evidences from various studies regarding pharmacological effects of this plant as nephroprotective, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial activity. Some indications from &lt;em&gt;in vitro &lt;/em&gt;studies have confirmed the inhibitory activity of this plant extract against alpha amylase enzyme. The available literature showed that most of the activities of the &lt;em&gt;Paronychia&lt;/em&gt; can be accredited to the flavonoids present in them. Data regarding mechanisms of action of this plant along with pharmacokinetics, toxicology studies is still limited, which indicate the need of such studies for the clinical usage of this plant.&lt;/p&gt;

The quality of herbal medicine determine its safety as well as efficacy; and geographical origin is important factor contributing on the quality of herb and its products. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) method combined with chemometric, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), has been employed to evaluate the quality of &lt;em&gt;Orthosiphon stamineus&lt;/em&gt; leaves collected from eleven origins in Indonesia.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The results showed that mobile phase suitable for &lt;em&gt;Orthosiphon stamineus&lt;/em&gt; was chloroform, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate (7:4:1). The method used has met the requirements of TLC system stability and precision. TLC-fingerprints analyzed with chemometrics showed an ability to discriminate &lt;em&gt;Orthosiphon stamineus&lt;/em&gt; from various origins. PCA score plot of the first two principal components (PC) clearly distinguished 3 clusters of samples, whereas the loading plot of the first two PC showed that compounds with the Rf values of 0.0-0.1, 0.1-0.2, 0.2-0.3, and 0.9-1.0 are the most important compounds for clustering of samples. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; TLCfingerprint combined with the PCA was able to discriminate among the leaves of &lt;em&gt;Orthosiphon stamineus&lt;/em&gt; originated from various locations. TLC-fingerprints analyzed with chemometrics can be used as an alternative of marker-oriented method to evaluate the quality of &lt;em&gt;Orthosiphon stamineus.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Owing to its proven efficacy, it has gained commercial value, particularly as a key ingredient in several herbal products and alcoholic beverages. The increased scarcity owing to demand outstripping supply lend the roots of &lt;em&gt;C. erythrocarpos&lt;/em&gt; to adulteration. This paper presents a detailed pharmacognostic evaluation of the leaf, stem and root of &lt;em&gt;C. erythrocarpos&lt;/em&gt; which will be used in its identification and consequent standardization. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The leaf, stem and root were evaluated for their macroscopic and microscopic features as were the physicochemical parameters and phytochemical screening done. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Leaves are alternately arranged, have collateral vascular bundle, crystal sheaths and a pericyclic fibre. Actinocytic stomata and secretory cells were contained in powdered leaves. The stem showed lenticels and thorns, stellate and branched trichomes which leave off cicatrices in older stems. The powdered stem and roots contained stone cells, secretory cells and scalariform vessels. However, the roots lacked thorns, trichomes and had smaller secretory cells. Aqueous and ethanolic extracts of the leaves, stem and roots were slightly acidic to neutral. Ash values of leaves, stem and roots are (16.58 ± 0.09) % w/w, (5.01 ± 0.09) % w/w and (6.53 ± 0.19) % w/w respectively. Preliminary phytochemical screening of the leaves, stem and roots showed the presence of glycosides, flavonoids and tannins. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The determined parameters for the leaf, stem and root of &lt;em&gt;C. erythrocarpos&lt;/em&gt; constitute quality parameters for their unequivocal identification.&lt;/p&gt;
