Present generation is a fast moving generation and no doubt about the potency of allopathic medicine, they provide fast result, but the darkest side of this medicine is their several side effects and contraindications. On the other hand the Ayurvedic medicines are good substitution for those medicines because of their less or no side effect and their ability to cure the problem from their root. The present study is based on the pharmacological activity of Dhanwantari’s Ditoxifie capsule. This drug is having great potential to deal with ache of muscles or joints, frequent headaches, low energy or frequent being tired, frequent cold or sickness, coughs or a sore throat, runny nose or sinus congestion, dense or yellow urine, painful bowel movements, acne or oily skin, lack of taste and many more. In the present work, experiments were conducted to evaluate the possible anthelmintic effects of Ditoxifie capsule on Indian earthworm (Pheretima posthuma) at 400mg/ml, 600mg/ml, and 800mg/ml concentration. Results were expressed in terms of time for paralysis and time for death of worms.
