Abstract

Herbal medicine, often known as herbalism or phytotherapy, is an alternative healthcare
strategy that uses plants and their extracts to treat various pathological problems. Flavonoids are
the main group of plant secondary metabolites and are present in the tissues and organs of various
plant species. Flavonoids are essential for various biological processes and can be influenced by a
diverse array of environmental factors in plants. The rutaceae is an extensive botanical family
comprising a multitude of genera and species. The rutaceae family consists of a large variety of
aromatics plants, predominantly located in tropical areas. The rutaceae family of plants is
extensively employed in traditional medicine in various places worldwide. A highly common plant
from this botanical family is Ruta graveolens L., commonly known as "Rue," "Sudab,". Ruta
graveolens plays a wide variety of important roles in plants. It has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory,
antidiabetic, antibacterial, cardioprotective, and anticarcinogenic properties. This article offers a
succinct summary of the most recent breakthroughs in ruta graveolenes research, with the goal of
aiding in the recognition of their medicinal characteristics.
