Nature has blessed us with enormous wealth of herbal plants used as a source of therapeutic agent. The phytochemistry in medicines represents one of the most important applications of scientific knowledge for betterment of mankind. India has a vast variety of plant materials whose study may be beneficial to alleviate human suffering and also as a source of national wealth. Plants and other natural substances have been used as the rich source of medicine. All ancient civilizations have documented medicinal uses of plant in their own ethno botanical texts. The list of drugs obtained from plant source is fairly extensive. Major thrust by whole of the pharmaceutical industry is focused towards design and development of new plant based drugs through investigation of leads from traditional system of medicines. Arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory disorder affecting primarily the joints causing numerous deformities. The prevalence of arthritis has been rising more rapidly with every passing day. To overcome this disease more and more synthetic drugs were invented, but alternate remedy is the need of the hour as they all possess severe side-effects & toxicity.
