The aqueous extract of Leucas aspera (leaf extract) was assessed for its various invitro activities such as anti inflammatory, anti helminthic, anti arthritic, antioxidant and antibacterial activity. The in vitro Anti Oxidant activity method by using various concentration of L. aspera. The crude extracts of the leaves of Leucas aspera showed statistically significant anti inflammatory activity in in vitro assay. The crude aqueous leaves extract of Leucas aspera also showed that significant anti helmintic effect causing death of the worm at all the concentrations but the time of death was different in each case.
