Two different Hot and cold extracts were obtained from this ingredients of skin of the seeds of Terminalia chebula, Unripe fruit of Phyllanthus embelica leaves of Murrya keonigii, and Gymnema sylvestrae. They were assessed for their antioxidant activity by measuring Total Phenolic Content. Among the ingredients of the mathumeha chooranam studied, Terminalia chebula showed significant content of phenolics (TPC) in mg TAE/g of dry weight in cold as well as in hot extracts at Room temperature ( 383.9±70.2, 336.9±23.5) followed by Phyllanthus embelica (184.2±22.01, 172.8±16.06), Gymnema sylvestrae (9.0±0.27,9.8±0.42) and Murrya keonigii. There was no significant difference in the mean TPC between room temperature and refrigerator. When compared with the cold extracts of ingredients of mathumeha chooranam with hot extracts, hot extracts contained higher antioxidant content. The cold and hot aqueous extracts of the dried powder of the ingredients of the mathumeha chooranam possess antioxidant activity. Among the four ingredients, Terminalia chebula was found to possess significantly higher antioxidant activity than the others. Next to the Terminalia chebula ,Phylanthus embelica had higher content of the antioxidant.en_US
