Lantana camara, a species native to tropical America, is a plant of significant medicinal value in various traditional healing systems. Widely distributed across tropical and subtropical regions, it has gained attention due to its diverse bioactive properties. Research has shown that different parts of the plant, including the leaves, flowers, and stems, possess potent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and hepatoprotective activities. Additionally Studies suggest that Lantana camara may have anticancer potential and promote wound healing. These therapeutic properties make it a valuable resource in the development of natural remedies for a range of health conditions, including infections, inflammatory diseases, diabetes, liver disorders, and even cancer. However, while its medicinal potential is promising, concerns regarding its toxicity and the need for further clinical validation persist. As such, additional research into the plant's efficacy, safety, and appropriate dosage is essential before its widespread clinical use. This review highlights the significant medicinal applications of Lantana camara and emphasizes the importance of responsible use and further scientific exploration.
