The natural plant products are widely used nowadays because of increasing the burden of diseases. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. (Family Malvaceae) is a plant which is widely distributed throughout the world. Its leaves, barks, roots and flowers have been used in the Indian traditional system as medicine to treat various diseases.Various research studies proved that the different parts of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis plant possesses Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, Antidiabetic, Antiulcer, Hepatoprotective, Antifertility, Antigenotoxic, and Antiinflammatory properties, which helps in treatment of many diseases. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis has been used in many herbal mix and drinks. Many research studies conducted in animal modal evaluate Hibiscus rosa-sinensis flowers and leaves as antidiabetic and antioxidant compounds. This review attempt to highlight the therapeutic application of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis. Crude preparations of the leaves and flowers of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis have been traditionally used in folk medicine for various purposes. In the present study, we have evaluated the antibacterial activity of the extracts of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis leaves and flowers against some clinical isolates of bacteria by simple agar disc diffusion and method. In the preliminary screening experiment, all of the bacterial isolates showed varying degrees of sensitivity to the flower extracts excluding Klebsiella pneumoniae. We found Staphylococcus aureus, a gram positive bacterium as the most sensitive to the extracts of flowers. On the other hand, most of the tested bacterial isolates were resistant to the extracts of leaves and flowers excluding S.aureus. Our findings clearly demonstrates that the flower extracts H.rosa-sinensis had stronger antibacterial effect than that of leaves.
