Abstract
Traditional medicines usually use combinational formula that are prepared by mixing different varieties of medicinal herbs and boiling them in water to yield a decoction. In recent years a modified method has been proposed and practiced wherein the individual herbs are boiled with water separately and later these extracts are mixed together for use. We attempted to evaluate their equivalence in terms of its polyphenol contents and DPPH radical scavenging activity. The polyphenol contents as well as the DPPH radical scavenging activities were very similar to each other.
