Aamra (Mangifera indica L.) commonly known as “King of Fruits”. Aamra has commercial importance in India. The Aamra fruit has three main parts: Phala Magaj (pulp), Phala twak (peel), and Aamra beejmajja (kernel). The pulp is the most-consumed part, while the peel and kernel are usually discarded though they have nutritional and medicinal significance.Mahabhaishajya is an Ayurvedic term that refers to Aahara (food), as the superior medicine. This review article is presented to study Aamra as a Mahabhaishajya, a complete food (Aahariya Dravya) with significant medicinal property, by compiling all the information on phytochemical and pharmacological activities of three different parts and at the both ripe and unripe stage of Aamra according to literature review and published research.
