- Abstract
Allium sativum L. (Garlic) belonging to family "Liliaceae" is a well know medicinal plant. The presence study was undertaken to evaluate anthelmintic activity of aqueous extract of Allium sativum, against Indian earthworm. The result revealed all tested extract of Allium sativum show anthelmintic activity in a dose dependent manner. The potency of test sample was found to be inversely proportional to time taken for paralysis & death of worms. The activity was assessed by the determination of time of paralysis & death of worms. Piperazine citrate (10 mg/ml) was included as standard. All the concentration of extract exhibited good anthelmintic activity. The present study therefore justifies it's use in folklore remedies as anthelmintic drug of natural origin.
