Aim of the study: To determine the pharmacological activity relevant to ulcer healing of Acacia farnesiana (aroma) leaf, a folk medicine used in the treatment of Ulcer. Materials and Methods: MEAF extract was done by using soxhelet apparatus and was further subjected to screening of the qualitative analysis of phyto chemicals. Consequently the Methanolic extract of leaf was tested against ulcer induced rats. Results: The methanol extract of leaf (200mg/Kg) has shown greater protection against ulcer damage to the tissue (58.35 compared to 61.12 % of RD) Conclusion: After performing of Preliminary Phytochemical screening of Acacia farnesiana (aroma), the Methanol extract of Acacia farnesiana (aroma) was chosen for further analysis, in other hand the chronic study was done in Ethanol induced ulcers of Male Wister albino rats and then the Ulcer Scoring as well as the Biochemical parameters were studied. Consequently we have evaluated the Anti Ulcer activity of MEAF. Hence, it establishes the fact that the Methanol extract of antiulcer activity of Acacia farnesiana (L.)
