ABSTRACT:
Hygrophila Auriculata is a plant with several medicinal properties that are highly valued around the world. It is used to prevent and treat numerous diseases. The study aimed to analyze the physicochemical, qualitative and quantitative phytochemical, heavy metal content by ICP-MS, and microbiological content of the leaves and seeds of the Hygrophila auriculata (schumach.) Heine. The aim was to develop simple and reliable criteria to help ensure the quality of this crude drug. Additionally, TLC was implemented to determine the proximity of terpenoids and phytosterol in the plant. The plant contains various phyto nutrients that suggest its pharmaceutical significance.
