Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the herbal drugs which are used traditionally with commonly used synthetic drugs for the treatment of intestinal worm infestation. The experiment was conducted using adult Indian earthworms (Pheretima Posthuma) owing to their anatomical and physiological similarity to human intestinal parasites, making it convenient for the evaluation of anthelmintic compounds in a laboratory setting. As a control sample and preparation of samples normal saline solution was used. Various concentrations of both herbal and synthetic drugs were tested and result was obtained in the terms of time of paralysis and time of death in minutes. All the drugs show different time of paralysis and death of worms. In this study we took herbal powders without any extraction process or chemical process done on it.
