Abstract

During the past few years, due to the view of all aspects of ecology, these have been renewed focus with the interest in so called natural foods and drugs. The availability of extremely wide range of these natural products ranging from fenugreek tea to ginseng chewing gum has timulated the public to learn more about these natural products as medicine. Nature has provided a complete “Store house” of remedies to rectify all illness of mankind. It provides us a wide range of medicines in the forms of herb, plant, etc to eradicate many diseases without causing much of toxic effects. Plant kingdom holds many species of plants containing pharmacologically active constituents. The data showed that, the chloroform extract of Andrographis echioides produced significant diuretic activity, evidenced by the increased excretion of sodium and potassium ions, comparable to the standard drug, frusemide. Hence I concluded that the chloroform extract of Andrographis echioides showed effective diuretic activity by increasing the total urine output and increased excretion of sodium and potassium salts
