Abstract
Achyranthes aspera Linn. which is commonly known as chirchita is a herb used in indigenous system of medicine in India. Looking to the wide application of this plant, it was proposed to investigate the anti inflammatory activity leading to the wound healing and repairing of the damaged tissue activity in the plant extract. The aerial part of Achyranthes aspera collected from Hathidhal or Udaipura tehsil in Raiscn district of M.P. during flowering season was extracted in Soxhlet apparatus with 90% alcohol. Healthy wistar rats (20) weighing between 150-200 gm were used for experimental work.. The study revealed that when maximum dose 8 mg/mm of Achyranthes aspera suspension was applied to wound model, a significant increase was observed in the skin tensile strength for 15 days.
