ABSTRACT:
The medicinal plants find application in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, agricultural and food industry. The use of the medicinal herb for curing disease has been documented in history of all civilization. Plant contains active principles, which are responsible for curative action of the herbs. Amaranthus dubius (Amaranthaceae) is an important medicinal plant much used in ayurveda and other traditional medicines in many parts of the world. Amaranth really shines when it comes to skincare working to hydrate, detoxify soothe, improve elasticity and reduce wrinkles. The present study was carried out pharmacognostical screening, phytochemical and formuation of and evaluation of amarathus leaves. In the pharmacognostical screening Macroscopy, microscopy identified the characters of the leaf. Physical evaluation like ash value (Total ash, acid insoluble ash, extractive value (Pet ether soluable, chrloroform soluble and Ethanol soluble) and crude fiber content was performed. Formulation and evaluation of amarathus gel was performed.
