Abstract	Helicanthes elasticus (Desr.) Danser is a member of family Loranthaceae which is found widely growing on mango trees in southern India. Alkaloids, carbohydrate, steroids, tannins, saponins, phenols, flavonoids and triterpenoids are mainly believed to be responsible for its wide therapeutic actions. It is known to possess medicinal activities such as antimicrobial activity, immunomodulatory hepatoprotective, antioxidant, anti diabetic, diuretic and natriuretic activity, cytotoxicity (anti-tumour activity), anti-asthmatic and anti-anaphylactic, anti-arthritic, anti-ulcer, anti-inflammatory, anti urolithiatic and nephroprotective activity. In this work information concerning pharmacological activities possessed by different parts of Helicanthes elasticus has been keenly observed and summarized.
