Abstract

The genus of Clematis is a buttercup family (Ranunculaceae), recognized for its flowers and adaptable as an ornamental plant in colder climates. It contains around 300 species. Clematis has a variety of active phytoconstituents or secondary metabolites which are responsible for health benefits in human beings. Traditionally various species of the clematis genus used for centuries to treat various ailments including syphilis, bone disorders, gout, rheumatism, diuretics, wound healing, blood sugar control, blood diseases, spleen difficulties, leprosy, fevers, skin diseases. A systematic review of scientific electronic database and reference books were consulted to find all relevant literature for this work. This review discusses the ethno-medicinal usage, health advantages, phytoconstituents and bioactivities of clematis species.
