Ved Parkash Sharma* and Om Prakash Sharma

Aim: Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India (API) recommends using the stem bark instead of root bark. Material and Methods: An attempt has been made to study the anti-inflammatory activity of both root bark and stem bark kashaya (decoction) experimentally. Conclusion: Results showed significant anti-inflammatory activity of root bark and stem bark decoction. Keywords: Anti-inflammatory, Ayurveda, dashamoola, Oroxylumindicum, shyonaka.
