        abstract = {Objective: This article deals with the antihelminthic activity of Clitoria ternatea flower syrup on Pheretima posthuma, which is a model widely accepted system to test anthelmintic activity. The traditional medicinal use of Clitoria ternatea was processed as a syrup through standardized extraction procedures. Its effectiveness was determined by conducting in vitro assays by analyzing paralysis and death rates of Pheretima posthuma over different time intervals.

Results showed a dose-dependent effect with the high syrup concentration posing a potential for causing severe paralysis that could kill the worms. The findings of this current study suggest that anthelmintic activity is apparently marked in Clitoria ternatea flower syrup, justifying the traditional use in herbal medicine. This study opens up a potential pathway in the development of natural anthelmintic therapy and hence, the need for further research into active compounds and mechanisms of action involved.},
