ABSTRACT
Ethanolic extract of ACONITUM FEROX ROOT was used for the present project work. The Successive extract was subjected to preliminary phytochemical testing for the detection of major chemical groups. ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY of plant was determined using CARRAGEENAN INDUCED PAW EDEMA MODEL. Four groups of mice were prepared, each group having five mices. First group was control group. 0.1 ml of 1% carrageenan was given to this group. Second group was given standard Indomethacin 5gm/kg. Third group was given drug 250 mg/Kg and fourth group was given 500 mg/Kg of Aconitum ferox. Four readings of paw were taken using Plethysmometer. There was significant reduction in paw volume in Indomethacine standard group (p
