      <Abstract>Objective:To evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of Curcuma longa (Turmeric) in experimentally induced acute inflammation in albino rats.Methodology: Albino rats (200-250gms) of either sex were randomly selected, divided into 3 groups (n=6): Control- vehicle 1ml; Standard- Indomethacin, 100mg/kg; Test group-Fresh Turmeric powder 300mg/kg. 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>
