Abstract: Herbal remedies are the most widely utilized medical therapy in most underdeveloped nations. Medicinal plants have been utilized for millennia due to their broad availability. Bauhinia variegata is a medicinal plant that grows in India and is thought to have medicinal properties due to specific bioactive components. The present work evaluated the phytochemical composition of the methanol extract of Bauhinia variegata‘s leaves. Further, three different assays were used to test the antioxidant activity of leaf extracts of Bauhinia variegata at varying doses. The antioxidant activity of several extracts of plant was shown to be more promising as a consequence of our research. The components of the more potent phytochemicals of Bauhinia variegata were further investigated using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Our results reveal that the presence of specific phytochemicals warrants the Bauhinia variegata's use in health-promoting properties.
