Results: The colour, shape, size, odour and surface characteristics were noted from the root and powdered root material of A. Physicochemical parameters were done by utilizing WHO recommended parameters, preliminary phytochemical and fluorescent analysis of root sample were performed for identification and standardization of root of A.
Methods: Micro and Macroscopic characters of fresh and dried root samples were investigated. Aim: To evaluate pharmacognostic properties including macroscopic, microscopic and physicochemical parameters of the root of A. So there is need to establish quality control parameters by using pharmacognostic and phytochemical evaluation, which ensures the purity, safety and efficacy of medicinal plant A. The main problem experienced in standardization of herbal drugs is lack of proper identification of plant source. (Araliaceae) has long been used in various ailments in traditional system most importantly it is used against rheumatism, whooping cough, skin diseases, pleurisy, diaphoretic, diuretic, asthma, diarrhoea, syphilis, inflammation and hay fever.

If interested or keen to learn or contribute to the exciting developments in neurosciences please join the teamġ. Several projects are underway or in the planning stages including randomized control trials. Particular areas of current interest are brain tumours and novel methods of treatment, Spinal cord injury and degenerative spinal disorders. I am a Neurosurgeon interested in several areas of research in Neurosciences.
