Pyrexia or fever is caused as a secondary impact of infection, tissue damage inflammation, graft rejection, malignancy or other diseased status. It is the body's natural defense to create on environment where infectious agents or damaged tissue cannot survive. The therapeutic efficacies of many indigenous plants for various diseases have been described by traditional herbal medicine practitioners. The presence of various life sustaining constituents in plants has urged scientists to examine these plants with a view to determine potential wound healing properties. The Methanolic and Petroleum ether extract of the leaves of Cassia alata were investigated for its antipyretic potential in animal models. The extracts, were administered orally to Rats, it has been found that Mehanolic extract shows the significant Anti pyretic effect in the 6 Hours and reduces the induced pyrexia significantly.
