Abstract

Thuja orientalis (L) (Platycladus orientalis) belongs to the family Cupressaceae, which is found in temperate and semi-temperate regions, is referred to as the "Tree of Life" in Buddhist theory in China. This is presumably because the tree's unchanging, evergreen nature has allowed it to be used for a very long time for a variety of biological purposes. That species is an important herb in oriental world medicine as employed in the treatment of so many diseases. Thuja orientalis, often known as arbour vitae, white cedar, or morpankhi, is a member of the Cupressaceae family. These -plants contain plant phytoconstituents such as carbohydrates, alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, tannins, saponins and flavonoids constituents are Rutin, Quercitrin, Quercetin, Amentoflavone pinene, δ-3-carene, sabinene and cedrol. This review primarily focuses on the numerous studies conducted to determine its biological properties, including those that promote hair growth and are antioxidant, antibacterial, antiangiogenesis, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-allergic, antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory. This review highlights some important phytoconstituents and biological properties of T. orientalis.
