Since the beginning of screening of Phyto-chemicals, the use of natural products in medicinal application has reduced. Medicinal plants, since times immemorial, have been used for curing of many diseases as a source of medicine. The presence of study focuses on extraction of Psidium guajava and Punica granatum plant leaves for treatment against diarrhoeal infection. Different parts of the plants are considered to have potential medicinal properties and are used in different system of medicine. Two plant species Psidium guajava and Punica granatum were screened for bio-active compound and detection of anti-bacterial activity against isolated pathogenic strains.

Abstract


Since the beginning of screening of Phyto-chemicals, the use of natural products in medicinal application has reduced. Medicinal plants, since times immemorial, have been used for curing of many diseases as a source of medicine. The presence of study focuses on extraction of Psidium guajava and Punica granatum plant leaves for treatment against diarrhoeal infection. Different parts of the plants are considered to have potential medicinal properties and are used in different system of medicine. Two plant species Psidium guajava and Punica granatum were screened for bio-active compound and detection of anti-bacterial activity against isolated pathogenic strains.
