The aim of this study is to validate the scientific value of C. dichotoma's and strengthening the traditional knowledge, specifically, we will focus on phytochemical and pharmacological studies along with hepatocurative assessments. The literature search was done by us scientific databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase and Elseviers. The main chemical constituent’s structures of secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, proteins, carbohydrates, and phenolic compounds were represented using the Chem-Draw chemical structure editor software. The most notable phytoconstituents found in C. dichotoma are flavonoids and phenolic compounds, which are well-known for their numerous pharmacological and therapeutic efficaciousness against a variety of chronic diseases in addition to their remarkable potential as antioxidants. Overall, the research covered in this review suggests that the plant and its extracts offer important medicinal advantages for a number of different disorders, including hepatic.
