For both the extracts, rectaltemperatures were measured at fixed intervals. Castor oilinduceddiarrhoea test was used for antidiarrhoeal activity. Forboth the extracts, the droppings were collected at fixedintervals. The phytochemical screening was done according tothe methods described in the literature.Result: The results indicated good anti-pyretic activity for theaqueous extract and good antidiarrhoeal activity for the nhexaneextract of Aegle marmelos.Conclusion: The results of the study supported the traditionaluse of plant as a crude anti-pyretic and antidiarrhoeal drug. |
