This article brings to light the major active components present in Curcuma caesia two different geographical regions (Delhi and Orissa) of India. Separation of the rhizome from the plant cut it into small pieces and washed two or three times under tap water, kept the rhizom under shaded dry and collects the fine powder the help of motor pistil.Soxhlet the extraction used for the fine powder completely dissolving in organic solvent like methanol and chloroform by condensation method. The present study will be helpful for the phytochemists and pharmacologists for the identification of new phytochemical compounds.
