Dub., Mangifera indica L., Madhuca indica J.F. Gmel., and Annona squamosa L. The purpose of this study was to look into the existence of Phytochemicals such as Alkaloid, Amino acid, Carbohydrate, Protein, Glycoside, Tannin, Terpenoid, Saponin, Flavonoid, and Steroids in the medicinal plants that were chosen. For the organic solvent extraction, the Soxhlet apparatus was utilized. Water, acetone, and chloroform were utilised as solvents. Our findings show that the examined plants' crude aqueous and organic solvent extracts contain medicinally relevant bioactive components, justifying their usage in traditional medicines for the treatment of various ailments.
