The extract of the root of the plant Boerhaavia diffusa was studied for their Anti rheumatoid activity in Freunds Adjuvant Induced Arthritis Rats with the dose of 500 and 1000 mg/kg p. o. The administration of extract reported significant reduction in paw swelling on 4th, 8th, 14th and 21st day after sub-plenter administration of Complete Freunds adjuvant. The paw swelling was measured as a volume displacement using digital Plethysmometer. From the results observed in the present investigation, it may be concluded that the extract of Boerhaavia diffusa possesses potentially useful anti-arthritic activity in Complete Freunds Adjuvant model
