A Review on Pharmacological Potential of Bamboo Tree

Anees Fathima K, Dr. Uma T

Abstract: Bamboo, a member of the Poaceae family, is a multipurpose plant widely recognized for its medicinal and nutritional value. Various parts of the bamboo plant contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, and polysaccharides that contribute to its pharmacological activities. Scientific studies have reported antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-diabetic, and anticancer properties of bamboo extracts, supporting its traditional medicinal use. Bamboo leaves and shoots also show potential in preventing metabolic, cardiovascular, and inflammatory disorders. In addition to therapeutic applications, bamboo is used in food, agriculture, and sustainable industrial products. Despite its promising biological activities, the lack of standardized extraction methods and limited clinical studies remain major challenges. Further research is required to establish safety, efficacy, and clinical applications. This review highlights the phytochemical composition, pharmacological potential, and future research scope of bamboo as a valuable natural resource for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical development.
