Abstract
Abstract
The foundation of holistic medicine, which is quickly gaining traction globally and steadily establishing itself in significant healthcare systems, is herbal medicine. Medicinal plants or traditional Indian medicines are a vital source for novel pharmaceuticals. The Apiaceae family plant Foeniculum vulgare, commonly referred to as fennel, has a number of health advantages, including lowering blood pressure, decreasing water retention, enhancing vision, and easing the symptoms of acne, constipation, arthritis, coughing, gingival sores, and more.A member of the Solanaceae family, Solanum nigrum, often known as Makoh, is used to cure a range of illnesses. It is a useful herbal remedy for fever, discomfort, and mouth ulcers. It is also an effective treatment for asthma. It is also the primary component of a lot of prepared medications. It cures a range of liver issues, is helpful in treating urinary tract infections, and possesses strong hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory qualities. The absorbance at 517 nm was then measured. A low reaction mixture absorbance indicates a high amount of radical scavenging activity.The antioxidant activity of ascorbic acid was also investigated as a point of reference. The solution without any plant extract was used as a control. Each test was administered three times.
