Gaurang Mahendrakumar Bhavsar

Herbal drugs having benefits over synthetic drug, which counteract the adverse effects of the synthetic drugs. But challenge remains the identification of the right herb and which part of the herb posses the pharmacological action to cure the disease. Cassia spices are widely available on roadsides and in many countries. The leaves and seeds of many cassia spices are a valuable remedy for skin diseases, especially for ringworm and itch. It is evident that Cassia tora seeds possess anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activity, hence leaves of Cassia tora were evaluated for the same anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activity. 50% and 100% methanolic extracts of Cassia tora leaves using cup-bore method were evaluated and a certain degree of anti-bacterial activity was observed. Cassia tora leaves do not have significant amount of compounds compared to their seeds that possess anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activity.
