Abstract:

Three indigenous medicinal plants reported to be diuretic have been selected for the study of trace elements and their possible role in human health. Twelve trace elements (Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cu, Ni, Cd, Pb, Cr, Ag, Na and K) have been detected and estimated in ash of various parts (leaves of Cymbopogon citrates DC) Stapf., seeds of Raphanus sativus Linn. and corn silk of Zea Mays Linn.)
