The objective of the cent study was to evaluate the complete plant of the Asparagaceae family (Dracaena Reflexa Lam.) pharmacologically, phytochemically, and pharmacognostical. It was evident from the literature review that the plant medication has historically been associated with anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-tumor effects. Dracaena reflexa leaves were subjected to organoleptic, microscopic, and proximate analyses to determine the moisture content, ash values, extractive values, and crude fiber as part of a pharmacognostical inquiry. According to the results, the moisture content was determined to be 6% for each. The ash value was discovered to be 7.5%. 25% was found to be the extractive value. 2.46% of the crude fiber was discovered. Next, in the early qualitative phytochemical screening, compounds such as carbs, terpenoids, alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, steroids, and tannins are identified.
