Abstract
The Rivina humilis belongs to the family Phytolaccaceae. The evaluation of physic-chemical properties of R. humilis extract was carried out by using standard methods. This analysis were done by using WHO recommended parameters such as pH, total alkalinity, total hardness, biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, and metal concentration etc. In this study the observed values are not exceeds the permissible limit of WHO. The study of heavy metal contamination in plants, serve to show the metal concentration status of the site, where plants have grown. This is a main tool for phytoremediation. The pharmacognostic properties analyses were done by using WHO recommended parameters such as loss on drying, total ash, water soluble ash, acid soluble ash, extractive values and successive extractive yield. The pharmacognostic characters enlisted in this study will help in finding of the crude drug; the standardization parameters laid down will ensure the efficacy of drug and also differentiate the drug from its adulterants.
