Eclipta alba (L.) thrives in tropical and subtropical environment Hassak, family Asteraceae, is a significant medicinal plant. In India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and other nations, it is frequently used to treat a variety of skin, liver, and stomach conditions. The major goal of this article was to gather and examine the material that was available on biological functions, phytoconstituents, and traditional uses of E. alba. Books, proceedings, and online bibliographic databases like Scopus, MEDLINE/PubMed, Google Scholar, and SciFinder were used to collect scientific data. Substituted thiophenes, derivatives of coumestan, phenolic acid, flavonoids, triterpenoid saponins and steroid saponins were some of the active phytochemicals. Different E. alba extracts and extracted compounds demonstrated a range of biological qualities, including antibacterial, anticancer, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, and hair growth qualities. The study offers compelling support for the use of a plant combination in hair treatment therapy. Therefore, the plant might be considered a natural source and be used to create an alternative treatment for alopecia.
