Oil of T.asiatica leaves obtained by steam distillation was given orally to study its effect on the exudative and proliferative phases of the inflammatory reactions, using the technique of carrageenin induced paw edema and cotton pellets in male albino rats. The antiinflammatory activity was compared with ketorolac tromethamine. In carregeenin-induced paw edema, 0.8ml/kg of the volatiles of oil showed antiinflammatory activity comparable to that of ketorolac tromethamine. The oil was also found to be effective in cotton pellet granuloma studies.
