In Pharmacological studies, Ocimum sanctum is considered as important medicinal plant. It is commonly known as tulsi, and belongs to family Lamiaceae. It has been claimed to be valuable against a variety of diseases. The major aim of present study was to investigate the phytochemical screening of aqueous extract of Ocimum sanctum leaves. The results showed that this medicinal plant contains alkaloids, tannins, saponins, steroids, phlobatannin/terpenoids, flavonoids cardiac glycosides. These findings suggest that Ocimum sanctum may be responsible for its popular and different therapeutic uses.
