Abstract :

Epilepsy is one of the common neurological disorder in India and all over World. The present antiepileptic treatment is usually associated with adverse effects and complications. Hence there is always a need to find alternative treatment options, like that of plant origin. Cananga Odorata plant has been used extensively in aromatherapy where it has shown anxiolytic, sedative and other properties. This study was done to evaluate anticonvulsant action of Cananga Odorata leaves on Albino wistar Rats. Plant extract was administered to the Rats at doses of 200mg,400mg & 800mg. Anticonvulsant action was evaluated against seizures induced by Maximal electric shock stimulation[MES] method.
