Abstract
Since ancient times, several diseases have been treated by administration of plant extracts based on traditional medicine. Investigation of traditionally used medicinal plants is thus valuable on two levels, firstly, as a source of potential chemotherapeutic drugs, and secondly, as a measure of safety for the continued use of medicinal plants. Different parts of the Cyperacea species are used for different diseases. Some species of Cyperaceae species are used to control water pollution, provides habitat to different birds species and even indicate environmental conditions. This paper explains the evidence-based information regarding the pharmacological activity of these plant species. They have many ethno botanical uses and are medicinally very important.
