ABSTRACT: Mimosa pudica Linn., belonging to Fabaceae family is well known by its unique seismonastic movement of leaves and a variety of therapeutic uses. The plant has a wide range of pharmacological effects, and it is traditionally used in many indigenous medicinal systems, which are anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, and wound-healing.
