The Unani system of Medicine puts great emphasis on lifestyle management for the promotion and maintenance of health.

The result revealed that all tested extract of Nyctanthes arbortistis shown Anthelmintic activity in a dose dependant manner. The potency of test sample was found to be inversely proportional to time taken for paralysis or death of worms. The activities were comparable with reference drug Piperazine Citrate. Among the tested extract, the Acetone extract was found to possess promising Anthelmintic activity in comparison with other extract and standard. The present study therefore justifies its use in folklore remedies as Anthelmintic drug of natural origin.
