  1. Control group received water 5 ml/kg body weight (p.o.), standard group received Diazepam 2 mg/kg body weight (i.p.), test groups ACR, PEF, CHF, MEF and ACL were treated with 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight of the extracts (p.o.) respectively. Values are mean ± SEM, (n = 6); * p < 0.05, **p < 0.001, Dunnett t-test as compared to control. ACR = Acetone extract of rhizome, PEF = Petroleum ether fraction of rhizome, CHF = Chloroform fraction of rhizome, MEF = Methanol fraction of rhizome and ACL = Acetone extract of leaf.
