Abstract: The present study is aimed at the development of physiochemical parameters & to investigate active functional compounds in plants responsible for yielding it the medicinal properties & so as to make it more & more capable against various disorders & to reduce the use of chemicals by providing natural alternatives against several deficiencies & disorders. It is actually a study of all reported medicinal properties of Calotropis Giganteae of its various parts like leaves, flowers, stems, roots etc. Calotropis Giganteae is a traditional medicinal plant possessing unique medicinal properties & uses like its leaves are used as remedy for poisonous snake bite, for fever, stomach disorders, cough, ringworm, ascites, skin disorders, swelling, purgative & emetic, indigestion, Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, also these leaves are used by tribes for abortion by inserting into cervix which can induce labour pain & causes abortion, also flowers are reported to have high medicinal values in treating asthma. This knowledge about the medicinal values of Calotropis Giganteae is transferred by primitive people of antiquity. The above mentioned plant possess currently discussed medicinal values & phytochemical analysis reveals that it is possible because of presence of some compounds like Alkaloids, anthraquinone, carbohydrates, Terpenoids, Steroids, Tannins, Cardiac Glycosides, Phenolic compounds which are phytochemically analyzed.
