Persicaria minor, locally known as kesum, is currently being used as a traditional remedy instead of using it as an additional aromatic flavor in food. The main focus of this study is to summarize the recent findings on medicinal benefits of the leave extract of P. minor.

The plant extract also helps to protect cell tissues from abnormal conditions including ulcer. Furthermore, other studies also stated that the plant can reduce high blood pressure by inhibiting the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), enhance wound healing process and increase vitamin A in blood. Therefore, it can be stated that P. minor has many medicinal values, making it a strong potential therapeutic agent that can be used as an alternative for the current chemical drugs.
