Abstract

Albizia lebbeck is an astringent, used to treat boils, cough, eye flu, gingivitis, lung problems, pectoral problems, as a tonic and to treat abdominal tumors. The main parts used for medicinal purposes are Leaves, Bark, Flowers and Seeds/Pods. But out of these, bark is commercially used in treating many diseases/ailments. To utilize plant parts in pharmacological, anti-microbial and clinical research, it is therefore necessary to identify the active principles (phyto-constituents) and also their possible side effects to enhance product quality. In view of the commercial importance of the tree, an effort has been made to standardize harvesting practices of its bark. The proposed harvesting practices of bark of A. lebbeck may play an important role in maintaining health of tree besides easy extraction of bark.
