Abstract
Objective: Ormenis mixta L. (Asteraceae) is a traditional herbal medicine widely used as a mild sedative, spasmolytic and antibacterial agent. This paper aimed to examine possible anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects of Ormenis mixta L. in rodents.

Ormenis mixta L. essential oil (OMEO) by gavage at 100 and 200 mg/kg and aqueous extract (OMAE) at 200 and 400 mg/kg, were administered and compared with indomethacin, and control group. Antinociceptive effects of both extracts were evaluated using acetic acid-induced writhing and tail immersion tests and compared with standard drug (morphine and aspirin).Results: It was found that pretreatment with OMEO and OMAE significantly (P<0.05) reduced paw swelling and diminished the nociceptive response in rodents.Conclusion: Ormenis mixta L. essential oil and aqueous extract have a potent anti-inflammatory and an antinociceptive propertiesKeywords: Ormenis mixta L.
