Oral administration of ethanolic extract of Nymphaea Alba flower at the doses of 100mg/kg and 200mg/kg of body weight in mice.Diclofenac sodium used as standard drug Exhibited dose dependent and significant antiinflammatory activity in acute (acetic acid-induced vascular permeability, p< 0.001) and chronic (cotton pellet granuloma < 0.001).
