Rationale of pharmacological potentials of these plants are still unclear, even if few preliminary studies are available in literature for individual plants. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; This study was conducted for comparative assessment of antioxidant, antibacterial, and antidiabetic potential of &lt;em&gt;A. galanga &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;E. foetidum&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The rhizome of &lt;em&gt;A. galanga &lt;/em&gt;and leaf of &lt;em&gt;E. foetidum&lt;/em&gt; were extracted in methanol, ethanol and water. Phytochemicals of each extracts of &lt;em&gt;Alpinia galanga&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Eryngium foetidum&lt;/em&gt; were analyzed. The antioxidant potential of all the extracts was assessed by measuring total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and free radical scavenging potential was assessed by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrilhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, antibacterial activity was assessed against various pathogenic and nonpathogenic bacteria &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; by Kirby-Bauer agar well diffusion method and antidiabetic activity was assessed by &amp;alpha;-amylase inhibition. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Both the plant showed presence of all the tested phytochemicals. It was observed that methanolic extracts of both the plants have higher phenolic content than ethanolic and aqueous extracts, however ethanolic extracts &lt;em&gt;E. foetidum&lt;/em&gt; shows higher flavonoid contents. Both the plant shows similar DPPH scavenging and metal chelating activity. It was also observed that the antidiabetic potential of &lt;em&gt;A. galanga &lt;/em&gt;is greater than &lt;em&gt;E. foetidum&lt;/em&gt;. The methanolic and ethanolic extracts of the plants shows quite similar and good antibacterial potential than the aqueous extracts.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The present study suggests that both &lt;em&gt;Alpinia galanga&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Eryngium foetidum&lt;/em&gt; plants of Manipur could be used as herbal remedies for the treatment of diabetes mellitus as well as managing oxidative stress and oxidative stress related disorders.&lt;/p&gt;
