Abstract
Medicinal plants are the most exclusive source of life saving drugs for majority of the world's
population. The use of medicinal plant extract increases the body's immune system and lowers the
allergies and asthma. The four medicinal plants taken for the present study possess digestive
property. The experiment conducted to study the biochemical parameters of the leaves of the four
medicinal plants viz., R. tomentosa, P. guajava, C, aurantium and C. limonum showed a significantly
higher protein, carbohydrate and chlorophyll content in C. aurantium. The chlorophyll and total
chlorophyll content was found to be significantly higher in R. tomentosa.
