For ages, medicinal plants have served as a valuable reservoir of healing substances, with their efficacy often attributed to the existence of phytocompounds and antioxidants. The purpose of this research paper is to investigate the chemical composition and antioxidant capabilities of extracts derived from both the leaves and rhizomes of Hedychium flavescens, a traditional medicinal plant found in the Western Ghats and Eastern Himalayan range in India. Preliminary phytochemical screening of rhizome extracts of the plant showed better results than the leaf extracts. On comparing the extracts, acetone and methanol extracts of plant parts- rhizome and leaf showed notable outcome. Antioxidant potential was analysed using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) Radical scavenging and Hydrogen peroxide scavenging methods. Antioxidant tests suggest promising results especially shown by the acetone extract of the rhizome, indicating the potential of Hedychium flavescens as a natural reservoir of antioxidants.
