As the indigenous drug is insoluble in water, it was
suspended in 5% gum acacia solution. Rats were divided

prior to the experiment. The drugs were given orally with
the help of feeding cannula fitted with 2 ml glass syringe
keeping volume of the medicine constant (1 ml), 1 hour
prior to injection of the phlogistic agent for inducing acute
inflammation.
