This plant has been shown to have antiviral, anticancer, antimalarial, antipyretic, emollient, treat dysentery and intestinal worms, treat women with irregular menstruation, antibacterial, antioxidant, and antifungal properties, as well as diuretic activity in numerous pharmacological studies. This analysis is a broad overview of Canna indica's pharmacological activities. This plant has a wide range of conventional and pharmacological applications in a number of pathophyisiological conditions. We'll go through the many properties of Canna indica in this article, with an emphasis on its medicinal properties.
