Antidiarrhoeal activity of leaf extract of Celosia Argentea in experimentally induced diarrhoea in rats
In order to scientifically apprise some of the anecdotal, folkloric, ethno medical uses of celosia argentea, the present study was undertaken to examine the antidiarrhoeal properties of alcoholic extract of leaves of Celosia argentea on diarrhoea by using different experimental models.
