The leaf ethyl acetate extract showed high larvicidal activity on the tick larvae of Rhipicephalus. It strengthen the liver and kidneys, strengthening muscles, tendons and bones, anti-inflammatory, anti-toxin, urine laxative, normalize menstruation, hemostatic, ease childbirth. Chemical Ingredients includes Akirantin, glokosa, galactose, reilosa, ramnosa, and alkaloids. Hentriakontan, sapogenin, Betaine, ecdysterone, triterpenoid saponins. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Preliminary phytochemical analysis was done by adopting the method of Evans. Antihelmenthic assay is performed by standard protocol. &lt;strong&gt;Result:&lt;/strong&gt; The present study reveals the presence of few secondary metabolites and the extract exhibitspotent Antihelmenthic activity. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; From the present study it can be concluded that &lt;em&gt;Achyranthes aspera&lt;/em&gt; leaf extract possessed marked &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; Anti helminthic effect.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">397</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kamal Hasan&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Thangavelu Lakshmi&lt;sup&gt;2*&lt;/sup&gt; and Thirumalai Kumaran Rathinam&lt;sup&gt;3 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
