Ziziphus jujuba Mill. commonly called jujube (Rhamnaceae) has been known for its health benefits and used to cure different diseases such as Anthelmintic , asthma, cough and anxiety. The aim this research work deals with the detailed pharmacognostical evaluation of the crude drug. Morpho anatomy of the entire plant have been studied with the aim to aid pharmacognostical and taxonomic species identification using WHO recommended physico-chemical determinations and microscopical characters that will provide referential information for checking adulteration. The physico-chemical and histological parameters presented in this paper may be proposed as parameters to establish authenticity of Ziziphus Jujuba and can possibly help to differentiate the drug from its other species. Many important diagnostic characters such as bicollateral vascular bundle, paracytic stomata, pitted and spiral vessel, presence of stone cells, starch grains, lignified xylem and phloem will certainly help in identification of drug. As there is no pharmacognostical anatomical work on records for this traditionally valued herb, the present study is taken up in the view to lay down the physico-chemical and microscopic standards. Microscopical and physicochemical standards discussed here can be considered as the identifying parameters to substantiate and authenticate the drug and could be useful in the preparation of herbal monograph for its evaluation. Medicinal plants were the potent source of many pharmacological activities. Among those the plants of anthelmintic action has attained a great interest due the capability of the plant and its compound to treat a disease that causes major economic loss and reduced livestock production to the livestock holders. Helminthiasis causes a significant health problem with increased morbidity and, to some extent, mortality in an underdeveloped and developing country, although it may also occur in developed countries. It remains undiagnosed in many patients, and they suffer a lot due to many complications. This activity reviews the evaluation and treatment of helminthiasis and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and treating patients with this condition.
