Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the topical analgesic effects of essential oil extracted from Spharenthus indicus (Asteraceae).

Methods: The essential oil was extracted from fresh flower of Spharenthus indicus. Topical ointment containing essential oil was investigated for analgesic activity in rat using hot plate method. Diclofenac sodium gel was taken as standard drug.

Conclusion: Hence the study validates the traditional use of Spharenthus indicus to relive pain.
