“…It is a common weed in India and is widely distributed throughout the country. L. aspera whole plant is used traditionally as an antipyretic [4], and insecticide [5,6] drug. Its extract has been shown to have antiinflammatory [7][8][9], antinociceptive, antidiabetic [10], antimicrobial [11], antioxidant [12,13], and cytotoxic properties [14,15].…”

Introduction: Leucas aspera (family-Lamiaceae) has great therapeutic significance in the Indian system of medicine due to its rich antioxidant activity. The main objective of the present work was to evaluate physicochemical, phytochemical, qualitative high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC), and antioxidant study of L. aspera in-house mother tincture (alcoholic extract) and 2 market samples of reputed brands. Materials and methods: Three samples of mother tincture were used for the study, in-house-mother tincture (A) of L. aspera and market samples (B and C). For qualitative HPTLC studies, precoated silica gel 60 F254plate was used, mobile phase used was toluene: ethyl acetate: formic acid (7:3:0.3, v/v/v), and UV detection was performed at 254 and 366 nm. For derivatization,anisaldehyde-sulphuric acid reagent was used. In the antioxidant study, total phenolic content (TPC), DPPH, and ABTS assay were studied. Results and discussion: Result shows that the mother tinctures prepared by authenticated plant sample showed maximum active constituents and prominent antioxidant activity as compared to the mother tinctures procured from the market. Conclusions: The present physicochemical, phytochemical, HPTLC, and antioxidant study justify L. aspera medicinal usage in Homeopathy. This is the reason for the cure and healing property of L. aspera whole plant extract. HIGHLIGHTS Physicochemical and phytochemical investigation of Leucas asperaplant extract justifies its medicinal usage, its healing properties, and usage in Homeopathy aspera mother tincture prepared from authenticated sample showed maximum active constituents and prominent antioxidant activity as compared to the mother tinctures procured from the market The physicochemical, HPTLC, and the antioxidant study revealed the presence of major phytochemical compounds including triterpenes ursolic acid and oleanolic acid responsible for asperaoverall antioxidant activity GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Complementary or Alternative Medicine, like Homeopathic medicine, is made from plant, animal, and mineral kingdoms and sometimes from biochemical substances. Most of the Homeopathic remedies come from plant-based drugs. The presences of the bioactive compound in the plants are responsible for the overall therapeutic efficacy of Homeopathic medicines. The presence of bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and phenols in plant drugs acts as a natural source of antioxidant substances of high importance. The concentration of these bioactive compounds and their antioxidant activity indicates that these compounds contribute to the intense antioxidant activity of Homeopathic drugs. The scope of the present research is to provide detailed information on plant-based Homeopathic medicines containing specific active compounds, which justify their typical medicinal usage in Homeopathy. It is one of the big reasons for the cure and healing properties of Complementary or Alternative Medicine medicines.
