Abstract

One of the key herbs in Ayurveda is Changeri (Oxalis corniculata Linn.). The procumbent yellow sorrel, also known as sleeping beauty or creeping wood sorrel, is a low-growing, delicate- appearing herbaceous plant in the Oxalidaceae family that is native to warmer regions and damp areas of India. Anorexia, dyspepsia, rheumatoid arthritis, skin conditions, and diarrhea are all treated with this plant. Although many other studies have explored Changeri, the literature presented in this work will be beneficial for future research initiatives.

Keywords: Changeri, Oxalis corniculata, Woodsorrel.
