Bergenia ciliata (Haw.) Stern (Saxifragaceae) is very useful plant traditionally used to dissolve kidney stones, antihelmenthic, tonic, wound healer, fever, dysentery etc. Phytochemistry of the plant revealed compounds like bergenin, (+) afzelechin, (+) catechin, ?-sitosterol. Plants has been investigated for many pharmacological activities like antipyretic, antidiabetic, anti inflammatory, antitussive, antiurolithic and antimalarial. In this review a report for its phytoconstitents along with their structure and pharmacological profile has been described. Little work has been done on its phytochemistry and pharmacology with so many traditional uses, so this plant can be the target for many research activities.
