Abstract: Several medications derived from traditional goods have been created in recent years, and contemporary drug research is actively studying the therapeutic effects of several Ayruvedic and Traditional Indian medical remedies. Turmeric is one of the plants being researched. Ethanolic extract of Turmeric contain Curcuminoids are the most important active component. Curcuminoids are phenolic chemicals that are extensively used as a spice, color, and anti-inflammatory agent. Smooth muscle relaxant effects of C. longa, were comparable to those of Diazepam, which could be due to the possible interaction with non-adrenergic non-cholinergic nervous system. The effect on motor co-ordination was assessed using Rota rod apparatus.

Keywords: C. longa, Ethanolic extract, Wistar rats, Diazepam.
