Abstract : The fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy on the medicinal plants’ extracts used for the cure of diabetes in Eastern Himalayan region viz. Darjeeling and Sikkim are presented. The extracts from the seeds of Totola (Oroxylum indicum Vent.) and fruits of Harra (Terminalia chebula Retz.) and Barra (Terminalia belerica Roxb.) are studied using thin layer chromatography and atomic absorption spectroscopy. The results are compared with those of commercially prepared polyherbal formulations from Totola, Harra and Barra viz. Dashmool Kwath, Haritaki Churna and Triphala Churna.
