The mentioned medicinal properties were investigated by performing assays like scratch assay, 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay, Hydrogen peroxide assay, Human Red Blood Cell assay and well diffusion method. Our research study showed that Acorus calamus as well Gymnema sylvestre possess all the investigated medicinal
activity at various concentrations at various solvents.
