Non-flowering plants, or gymnosperms, are useful for a variety of purposes in the economy since they can be used to make food, oil, lumber, medicines, decorative items, and industrial resources. Used as a staple meal is gymnosperm from species such as Pinus, Cycas, Chilgoza, Ginko, etc. Perfumes and culinary oils are made from the oil derived from gymnosperm seeds. Gymnosperms have extensive medicinal and wood values in addition to these. In addition to being extremely important to humans, gymnosperms offer food and shelter to wildlife. Gymnosperms are valuable economically for a variety of reasons, including oil production, medical use, and aesthetic appeal. Gymnosperms contain a variety of essential phytochemicals, including stilbenes, tannins, glycosides, polyphenols, alkaloids, and flavonoids. It is possible to use phytochemicals in the production of medications. Their application in contemporary medicine is predicated on phytochemicals. The bark, leaves, seeds, and reproductive cones are the sources of the phytochemicals. The plant extract can be prepared using several techniques, including Maceration, Percolation, Soxhlet extraction, and extraction with ultrasound assistance, among others. The Gymnosperm extract has anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, anti-bowel, anti-cancer, anti-heart, and anti-stroke properties. Medications made from leaf extract have the potential to increase blood flow.
