All drugswere suspended in gumacacia andwere given orally 1 hour prior to induction of inflammation by phlogistic agent. Carrageenan induced- paw edema model was employed to screen the activity. Results: The Percent Inhibition of paw edema induced by carrageenan by Indomethacin and Turmeric are 62.31% and 54.78% respectively. Therefore, freshly prepared Turmeric powder showed 88% anti-inflammatory activity as that of standard Indomethacin. Results obtained are statistically significant (p</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords>Curcuma longa, Carrageenan, Antiinflammatory,Edema.</Keywords> <URLs> <Abstract>https://njbms.in/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=1456&title=EVALUATION OF ANTI INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY OF FRESH TURMERIC POWDER(Curcuma longa) IN ACUTE INFLAMMATION</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References/> </References> </Journal> </Article> </ArticleSet>
