The present work is aimed to evaluate the anti-arthritic effect of plant Acalypha indica extract by Freund’s Complete Adjuvant (FCA) induced arthritis in rats. Medicinal plants possess numerous active phyto constituents that are responsible for several biological activities. Acalypha indica is very important medicinal plant, to possess anti-ulcer and anti-arthritic activity.
