Physicochemical Characterization, Extraction and Phytochemical Screening of Some Indian Herbal Drugs used as Local Anesthetics

Abstract

As per WHO, approximately 80% of the Indian population depends on traditional Indian system of medicine for the treatment of various diseases. The increased Indian populations still have believe and relying on herbal product prepared from the herbs and because of the same plant need to be scientifically screened out for the quality standards.

(Umbelliferae); Eugenia caryophyllus (Spreng.) Bullock & S.G.Harrison  (Clove, clove bud) fam. (Myrataceae) and Capsicum annum L. (Capsicum, fruits) fam. Solanaceae. were evaluated for its physicochemical characterization, extraction and phytochemical screening and quality parameters. In this study various parameters were studied out and were reported.
