Herbal plants have been documented to treat various types of disorder such as cold, fever and sore throat. Due to the revolution of treatment, chemical drugs have been developed to treat patients. However, prolong administration of chemical drugs has been claimed to contribute various side effects among chronic patients. 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. Several studies have demonstrated the ability of this plant in inhibiting the growth of common infection organisms including S. aureus, reducing oxidative stress in the body as well as its anti-proliferative property for cancer and tumor development.
