Folkloric medicine has traditionally used Tamarind to treat a variety of conditions, including diabetes mellitus, fever, malaria, ulcers, diarrhoea, dysentery and wounds. The primary bioactive components of this species, which have a variety of biological functions, have been identified as flavonoids, phenolic contents, sterols, triterpenes, fatty acids, sugars and other substances. Genus Tamarind has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-pyretic, antibacterial, hypolipidemic, anti-diabetic, hepatoprotective, anti-ulcerogenic and antioxidant properties.
