Results: The anti-inflammatory activity of traditional drug at 100mg/kg dose level showed significant (p<0.01, p<0.001) anti-inflammatory activity from 60 minutes onwards and it was maintained up to 240 minutes. The results were comparable with that of standard drug indomethacin 10 mg/kg.The antiseptic activity of traditional drug showed a better healing pattern with complete wound closure with significant change (p< 0.05) in % wound contraction was observed in standard and treated group within 12 and 15 days respectively while it was about 21 days in control rats.
