The present article gives an account of updated information on its pharmacological properties such as antimicrobial activity, anti-viral activity, antiparasitic activity, snake venom activity, immunostimulatory activity and various other important medicinal properties. For the last few decades or so, extensive research work has been done to prove its biological activities and pharmacology of its extracts.
