Abstract
Medicinal plants not only supplement or replace the frequently insufficiently available modern medical treatments but also improve the local population's health and security. As a result, these plants are essential to daily life and have strong ties to a wide range of social, cultural, and economic events related to birth, growth, aging, illness, and death. The formulation of Morinda citrifolia and Costus afer undergoing phytochemical screening in methanol extract. The phytoconstituents discovered in the formulation were tannin, terpenoid, flavonoid, alkaloid, cardiac glycoside, glycoside, saponins, etc. The therapeutic value of a medicinal plant is determined by its phytoconstituents, either singly or in combination. Some of the significant phytochemicals with various biological activities include alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, tannins, saponins, steroids, glycosides, terpenes, etc. The identification of the phytochemicals can be used to predict the pharmacological activity of a plant. The formulation used in literary works contains phytoconstituents that have been linked to a variety of pharmacological actions. Therefore, these plants may be exploited to create medications that are efficient against diabetes, heart attack, bacteria, and microorganisms as well as cancer cells.
