Abstract:
The experiment was done on albino Wister rat in elevated plus maze and Rotarod apparatus by using dried ginseng roots from which it can be stated that the Panax ginseng has CNS stimulant properties. In elevated plus maze apparatus the P ginseng and caffeine treated animals shows increased numbers of entries than the untreated or controlled animals. In other hand in rote rod apparatus the animals treated with caffeine and P. ginseng spend more time on rod than the controlled or untreated animal. From the above findings it was evident that the Panax ginseng extract has shown significant CNS stimulant activity as the results were statistically calculated.
