Abstract

Pisum sativum, a member of the Fabaceae family and the genus Pisum, was first domesticated in Afghanistan about the year 2000 BC and used in Harappan culture in western and northwestern India between 2250 and 1750 BC. Everywhere in India can find it. Its edible aerial component has historically been used to treat diabetes, heart conditions, and to purify the blood. Moreover, it has been demonstrated to have anti-bacterial, anti-diabetic, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-hypercholesterolemia, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Due to the existence of several bioactive chemicals such as alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, isoflavones, phenols, phytosterols, phytic acid, protease inhibitors, saponins, and tannins, medicinal plants can be used as a source of innovative therapeutic agents. The fact that many medicinal plants contain different phytoconstituents with therapeutic effect is what makes them used as medicine. The medicinal and pharmacological advantages of pea in disease prevention and therapy are the main topics of this review. The data was gathered from online and in-print papers that were published in a variety of journals.
