Abstract

The Leaf of bamboo, belonging to family Gramine is used as anthhelmintic. Tabashir (bamboo manna) is stimulant, astringent, febrifuge, tonic, cooling, antispasmodic, and aphrodisiac. Antimicrobial activity of the successive extract of the fresh leaves of bamboo was evaluated against both Gram positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains by disc diffusion method.
