        abstract = {Swertia Chirayita is one of the widely used herbs for different therapeutic purposes. This paper compares the phytochemical screening of plant extract using two different polarity solvents viz; hydro ethanol and ethyl acetate.  Phytochemical screening of the extracts of Swertia Chirayita was performed with spot tests as the standard method. The ethanol extracts showed the presence of saponins, terpenoids/steroids, and flavonoids. The ethyl acetate extract has contents of terpenoids/steroids, and flavonoids. Results showed that different solvents possibly have different phytochemical compounds on extraction. },
