Abstract: Marigold (Tagetes patula) and Red orach(Atriplex hortensis var.rubra) besides being ornamental plants, have various medicinal properties—they are nematocidal,fungicidal, antibacterial and insecticidal and aids in wound healing. Extraction of active constituents was done by conventional as well as the Soxhlet method, which was found to be much more efficient using a petroleum ether (B.P 60̊) as solvent. Blood clotting activity of the leaf extract were examined using aminal models (Rabbits and Mice) invivo for both topical and systemic administration .Our work is focused on the blood clotting activity of the leaf extracts and to check the type of chemically active ingredients present in them by various phytochemical evaluation.Analytical methods like Thin Layer Chromatography and Ultraviolet Visible Spectroscopy was also performed for qualitative analysis and comparison with a standard drug. Further research is needed for identification and quantification of its bioactive compounds, which could be purified further and chemically isolated .Further improvisation on this can possibly make it a suitable medication on use with appropriate vehicle.
