Musa paradisiaca Linn., commonly known as plantain or banana, is a well-known plant with significant medicinal and nutritional value. Belonging to the family Musaceae, it is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions across the world, especially in India. In the traditional Indian system of medicine, Musa paradisiaca—referred to as Kadali in Sanskrit—has been used for centuries to treat a variety of elements.
