Sumaq (Rhus coriaria Linn.) is most useful herbal medicinal plant in India its post of fruits possess medicinal property. During the last few years the phytochemistry of the Sumaq is been achieved regarding the biological activity and its medicinal applications. It is now considered as a natural product for development of medicines against various diseases and also for the development of industrial products.
