ABSTRACT: World is running so first, at this moment medicines have to work to maintain the health of the people to give them power to stabilize them. Modern medicine is working from a decades or so, but many traditional systems of medicines also show some beneficial effects in that era.

Pistia stratiotes is a plant which plays a commendable role in that era. It is used in different kind of disease which are described in this mini review.
