The common weed Tridax procumbens has a broad range of pharmacological actions that make it a promising subject for Pharmacognostical and phytochemical study. Identifying the plant and examining its physical characteristics and chemical makeup are the main objectives of this research. Comprehensive phytochemical analyses uncover the existence of many bioactive substances. The inflammation-inhibiting, antibacterial, antioxidant and healing characteristics of Tridax procumbens have been shown by pharmacological research. This study highlights Tridax procumbens{\textquoteright}s potential for therapeutic use and makes a case for its incorporation into contemporary Ayurvedic pharmacopeias by clarifying its phytochemical composition and Pharmacognostical features.

The naturally produced plant-derived compounds, known as phytochemicals, are biologically effective and incorporated to reduce the risk of numerous human illnesses. The utilization of phytochemicals for traditional medicine or functional nutrition has likely existed for as long as human history itself. Plants may gather phytochemicals in a variety of sections, including the roots, seeds as well as leaves and fruits. Among all the phytochemicals class, terpenoids are renowned for its proven biological activities and found in enormous capacity in medicinal plants. Several studies report the use of terpenoids in a wide range of diseases and infections. Different classes of terpenoids showed a variety of biological activities in chronic disorders and autoimmune diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, arthritis and cancer. These classes of compounds are also used against cancer and infectious diseases. In the present study we mainly highlight the use of terpenoids in different diseases and its availability in nature as different class. The role of terpenoids in developing new medications and enhancing current treatment methods is significant. However, thorough and detailed research is still warranted to entirely recognize the pharmacological effects of several terpenoids.
