It is widely used in ethnomedical systems by various tribes in deep forests. There have
been scientific research studies of late on the medicinal properties of Leea indica and
they indicate it antioxidant property. Thanks to its antioxidant property it is
considered as a natural medicine for inhibition or prevention of cancer.

doctors also use Leea indica in their preparations. Herbal practitioners consider it as a
