There are nearly 350000 species of plants on the earth and each of them has a great medicinal and therapeutic activity. Among of them a plant named as Kalanchoe Pinnata also known as "air plant" that grows approximate 5 feet tall. Contained a wide range of active compounds. This review aims to provide an overview on the medicinal and therapeutic perspective of Kalanchoe Pinnata. Kalanchoe genus species have a long-term history with therapeutic use in Ethnomedicine relating with their remarkable healing properties. From different types of studies that we have conducted we are able to know presence of different types of compounds in it like Glycoside, Alkaloids, Phenolic compounds, Flavonoids etc and wide range of pharmacological character including antioxidant, antiseptic or anti-microbial anti-cancer, anti-allergic, wood healing activities and many more. The herb contains gallic acid caffeic acid, coumaric acid, quercetin, quercitrin, isorhamnetin, kaempferol, bersaldegenin bryophyllin a, bryophyllin c, bryophynol, bryophyllol and bryophollone, stigmasterol, campesterol, and other elements. Its phytochemicals participate in the regulation of proliferation, apoptosis, cell migration, angiogenesis, metastasis, oxidative stress, and autophagy.

Keywords: Kalanchoe pinnata, Air plant, Pharmacological character, Ethnomedicine, Bryophyllin, Stigmasterol, Healing properties.
