Preliminary physico-chemical & phyto-cognostical evaluation of the tinospora cordifolia (willd) miers stem in east u.p (india) region

Herbal plants are having medicinal value gaining more importance in clinical research now days due to their better pharmacological response and less side effects as compared to allopathic drugs. Plant produces primary metabolites for their basic survival and secondary metabolites for their ecological, taxonomical and biochemical differentiation and diversity. Tinospora cordifolia (Willd) Miers (Family Menispermaceae) common name is “Guduchi” or “Giloy” are broadly used in traditional system of medicine throughout different part of India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Subtropical regions of world. It has great medicinal importance like Anti-oxidant, anti-tumor activity, anti-neoplastic and anti-fertility properties etc. The study of diseases and their treatment are important part of our ancient time worldwide. The knowledge of medicinal plants must have been accumulated in the course of many centuries. Herbal medicine prepare different part of plant are used. It is an important drug of Indian system of medicine. Stem, root and leaves are important to cure the disease. The main aims of this research are Preliminary physico-chemical & phyto-cognostical evaluation of the stem parts. The current study deals with the characterization of morphological features, determination of physical constant such as the Total ash value 4.1%,Loss of weight drying was 9.9%, foaming index>100, swelling index were1.1cm, the percent yield for methanol 9.01%, and aqueous 8.03%.
