Aswagandha (solanaceae) and plambago zeylanica (plambaginaceae) were used for anti-diarrheal activity. The present study was to evaluate the anti-diarrheal activity by curative and preventive method of aswagandha and plambago zeylanica by using castor oil induced diarrhea model. Animals were divided into 4 groups as control, standard, and two test groups. The crude extract of aswagandha was found to be more significant (p < 0.05) between the groups in curative method whereas the crude extract of plambago zeylanica in preventive method was found to be more significant (p < 0.001) between the groups.
Keywords: Antidiarrheal Activity; Ashwagandha; Plumbago Zeylanica
