A member of the Sapotaceae family, Madhuca longifolia (mahua) is also referred to as the honey tree and butter-nut tree. Growing throughout the subtropical regions of India, Nepal, Australia, and Sri Lanka is the economically valuable plant known as mahua. Growing to a height of roughly 17 meters, it is both wild and commercially grown by villagers, who do so because it provides many jobs. Mahua is rich in sugar, vitamins, protein, glycosides, alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, saponins, and phenolic compounds, according to a phytochemical analysis. These compounds are responsible for a variety of pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, analgesic, antihyperglycemic, spasmolytic, hepatoprotective, anticonvulsant, anticancer, anthelmintic, antiulcer, antitumor, neuropharmacological, and dermatological effects Mahua flowers are used extensively in the production of various food items and liquor. This could boost employment and the country's potential revenue stream. The commercial use of mahua flowers in various food products has the potential to boost employment and create new revenue streams for the country. The traditional uses of different plant parts, phytochemical constituents and their chemical structures, and documented pharmacological activities are the primary topics of this review.
