Abstract
The present study was carried out to evaluate the analgesic
activity of the stem bark of the Bauhinia racemosa plant
in rats.weighing around 150-200g. Aqueous & alcoholic extracts
of dried stem bark of Bauhinia racemosa Lam. @ 100,
200mg/kg body weight were used in the present study. The study
was conducted as per the “Tail Immersion Method” described by
Ghosh M.N., (1984.) Aqueous extract of Bauhinia racemosa
Lam stem bark @ 200mg/kg body weight produced significant
analgesic activity whereas 100mg/kg dose did not produce
significant results when compared with control. (P<0.01) The
result of analgesic activity of alcoholic extract produced
significant results at both the doses (P<0.01). The findings
indicated the analgesic activity of the stem bark of the plant.
Keywords:
