As per WHO estimates, 80% of people around the world use medicinal plants for the cure and prevention of various diseases including cancer owing to their easy availability and cost effectiveness.  Eclipta alba  has long been used in Ayurveda to treat liver diseases, eye ailments, and hair related disorders. The promising medicinal value of  E. alba  prompted us to study the antioxidant, nontoxic, and anticancer potential of its alcoholic extract. In the current study, we evaluated the  in vitro  cytotoxic and antioxidant effect of the alcoholic extract of  Eclipta alba  (AEEA) in multiple cancer cell lines along with control. We have also evaluated its effect on different  in vivo  toxicity parameters. Here, we found that AEEA was found to be most active in most of the cancer cell lines but it significantly induced apoptosis in human breast cancer cell lines by disrupting mitochondrial membrane potential and DNA damage. Moreover, AEEA treatment inhibited migration in both MCF 7 and MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose dependent manner. Further, AEEA possesses robust  in vitro  antioxidant activity along with high total phenolic and flavonoid contents. In summary, our results indicate that  Eclipta alba  has enormous potential in complementary and alternative medicine for the treatment of cancer.
