Abstract: The study investigates the anti-arthritic and anti-inflammatory properties of an ethanol extract of the entire Morinda citrifolia plant in a rat model of arthritis caused by Complete Freud's Adjuvant (CFA). The extract's effectiveness was assessed by assessing key indicators of inflammation and arthritis. The results showed a substantial reduction in inflammation and arthritis-related symptoms in the treatment group, indicating that the extract had potent anti-inflammatory capabilities. The findings point out the therapeutic potential of Morinda citrifolia, a natural arthritis treatment, which may be attributable to active phytochemicals such as flavonoids and alkaloids. More research is needed to explain the underlying processes and investigate their potential application in treating human arthritis.
