Abstract
Phytochemical constituents of plants with varied phytochemical, physiological and biochemical activity has received attention to use them as food, medicine, cosmetics etc. In fact many plants extracts have been shown to exert biological activity invitro and invivo which justified the healing potential of ethnomedicine. Using phytochemical analysis, UVvisible spectrum and GC-MS studies, the active compound that are rich in rhizomes were tested. From the investigation it was found that phenolic compounds and tannin are rich in rhizomes. An important compound that formed a dominant peak was identified to be 3, 3, 3, trifluoro -N-(-4-fluorophenyl)-bicyclo (4.1.0) heptanes. Hence it is essential to study the traditional health care systems.
