Medicinal plants have evolved over the centuries as essential parts of African civilization and are widely recognized today as it representing its rich cultural and scientific heritage. The increasing demand for medicinal plant products has renewed interest in the pharmaceutical industry in the production of herbal healthcare simulations, herbal-based cosmetic products, and herbal nutritional supplements. In the present study, reveals the importance of Plectranthus amboinicus. The aqueous stem and leaf extracts of Plectranthus amboinicus were subjected to phytochemical screening analysis. The findings of phytochemical screening analysis were analysed. The antioxidant activity of aqueous stem and leaf extracts of Plectranthus amboinicus was examined using DPPH Radical Scavenging Assay. The results showed reveals that the electron gets paired off, in presence of free radical scavengers the absorption fades and the resulting decolourization is in line with the number of electrons taken up. The findings showed that there is a significant antioxidant activity in a dose dependent manner in the samples subjected to Radical Scavenging activity.
