Background & Aim: The current study was performed to evaluate the ethnobotanical uses, chemical constituents of Astragalus graveolensBuch. Leaves and their pharmacological activities through literature search. The preliminary phyto-evaluation of this plant has produced a number of bioactive chemicals, some of which have been proven to have antibacterial and cytotoxic potential as a result of its traditional therapeutic applications.Experimental: We conducted a survey in diverse databases (such as Google scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science, etc.) and professional websites with a key word related to our study. Firstly, we evaluated the traditional utilization of Astragalus graveolensBuch. and then the pharmacological studies.Results: Astragalus graveolens has a number of health advantages, including the ability to treat toothaches, strengthen tooth roots, nourish and treat chest infections, kidney, stomach and toothaches. Renal issues, burns, hypertension, and demulcent. Back pain, kidney pain, tooth pain, diabetes, tooth pain, bone pain, bone pain in the bone and tooth pain. They used in food, as a sweetener, a tonic, a headache and stomach pain reliever and to speed up the healing of deep wounds that are infected. The leaves of Astragalus graveolens have been investigated for various chemical compounds with pharmacological activities, such as antifungal, antimicrobial, antimalarial, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-diuretic, analgesic and insecticidal activities. The leaves are not well explored for chemical constituents and pharmacological activities.Recommended applications/industries: Astragalus graveolens Buch. need to be subjected to scientific verification based on their traditional utilization, which may lead to a better and effective alternative phytoconstituents for the management of various diseases.
