The phytochemical screening of Mucuna pruriens seed, Peper nigrum seed, Murraya koenigii leaf,Saraca asoca bark, Lanthiram bark, Nigella sativa seed and Aloe vera gel showed that the presence of steroids, flavonoids, polyphenol, tannin, saponins, glycosides, terpenoids and anthroquinones while alkaloid was absent in Aloe vera.
