Medicinal plants play an important role in traditional and complementary systems of medicine due to their rich phytochemical composition and therapeutic potential. Azadirachta indica (Neem) is a well-known medicinal plant extensively used for its antidiabetic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Homoeopathic mother tinctures prepared from medicinal plants retain biologically active phytoconstituents that contribute to their therapeutic efficacy. The present study aimed to qualitatively evaluate the phytochemical constituents present in homoeopathic mother tincture of Azadirachta indica. The mother tincture was subjected to standard qualitative phytochemical screening tests to detect the presence of major secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, phytosterols, phenolic compounds, and tannins. The results revealed the presence of all the above-mentioned phytoconstituents in the tested mother tincture, indicating a rich phytochemical profile. The presence of these bioactive compounds may account for the wide range of pharmacological activities attributed to Azadirachta indica in homoeopathic practice. The findings provide scientific support for the traditional use of Azadirachta indica and emphasize the need for further quantitative and advanced analytical studies to explore its therapeutic potential.
