The folklore claims of traditional medicine have been often looking down upon and neglected when compared to western medicine which has scientific foundation. So to prevent slow extinction of this system of medicine efficacy, safety and authenticity of drugs used has to be carried out through phytochemical and pharmacological screening. In the present study the main focus is to prepare and screen the traditionally used linseed oil extract obtained from Nerium indicum leaves for various categories of phytoconstituents. The standard procedures were followed in order to determine the presence of secondary metabolites. The results obtained are indicating the presence of phytochemical compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, cardiac glycosides and sterols in the linseed oil extract of Nerium indicum leaves. From the results obtained, it can be concluded that Nerium indicum oil extract contains a number of bioactive constituents which may be responsible for therapeutic activities claimed by traditional herbal practitioners.

KEY WORDS: Nerium indicum oil extract, Phyto-chemical screening, Secondary metabolites, Traditional medicine.
