Abstract: The current study was carried out to appraise the Anti-proliferative activity of Herbal Medicine Formulation (HMF) comprising different components of ethno-medicinal plant drugs which are practiced by the local healers in the Tribal Medicine System (TMS). The medicine formulation was subjected for validation with the authorized Ayurvedic Medical Practitioner in order to ascertain the active resources for novel lead constituents present in the drug. In addition, the validated HMF will also facilitate the movement of indigenous practices of traditional medicines to the public domain...........
