The Plant Artemisia maritima belongs to family compositae. The volatile oil from A. maritima contains santonin an active anthelmintic constituent. The oil from extracts exerts vermicidal activity on larvae of Haemonchus contortus. Two to four drachms of artemisia owa acts as a good anthelmintic in childern against round worms. Santonin was extracted from roots of A. maritima and purified chromatographically. Butea frondosa belongs to family Papilionaceae. Seeds of B. frondosa were found to have anthelmintic action against Bunostomun trigonocephalum and Haemonchus similis of sheep and goats. Palasonin, the anthelmintic principle was isolated from ethanoic extract of seeds. Seeds have powerful anthelmintic action. An indigenous preparation from B. frondosa was tested against Ascaris lumbricoides worm infection adn found to be quite effective. In present study the efficacy of aqueous extract of roots of A. maritima and seeds of B. frondosa was tested individually as well as in combination against Haemonchus contortus.
