ABSTRACT:
Over three thousand years in India, the Ayurvedic system of medicine has been in use. The phytomedicine, which is modernized method of formulating different kinds of herbal medicines, has yielded a new herbal product as well as new system of herbal medicine. The plant Casuarina equisetifolia is evergreen tree; belongs to family Casuarinaceae generally, attain height up to 50 m, introduced into India. The presence of different chemical constituents responsible for pharmacological activity such as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, Anti-histaminic, Wound healing. This research article highlighted Pharmacognostic account as well as physico-chemical evaluation, which shows how it will effective in the treatment of disease and disorder using herbal medicine. In addition to that, the Stem-inner bark of Casuarina equisetifolia is phytochemically evaluated using three different extract of Casuarina equisetifolia such as Methanol, Ethanol and Aqueous extract to show which secondary metabolites are present and result is that Methanol extract shows maximum Phenol, Tannin, flavonoid and Terpenoid content followed by Ethanol extract and then aqueous extract so that one can conclude stem-inner bark of Casuarina equisetifolia responsible for different pharmacological activity.
