Argyreia nervosa (Burm. f.) abstract Bojer, often called Woolly Morning Glory or Elephant Creeper, is a perennial climber that is a member of the Convolvulaceae family. As a Rasayana herb, it is widely used in traditional Ayurvedic treatment and is widely disseminated throughout the Indian subcontinent. The herb has long been used to treat a wide range of conditions, such as diabetes, rheumatism, skin conditions, neurological problems, and male sexual dysfunction. According to phytochemical studies, it contains a variety of bioactive components that contribute to its broad pharmacological profile, including triterpenoids, steroids, lipids, coumarin glycosides, alkaloids (ergine, ergonovine, isoergine), and flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol, rutin). Numerous pharmacological actions, such as antipyretic, aphrodisiac, wound healing, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, antidiabetic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antibacterial effects, have been shown in experimental research. Its safety, effectiveness, and mode of action must be established by more thorough pharmacokinetic, toxicological, and clinical research before it can be developed into standardized herbal formulations.
