The herbal drug was analyzed by several physical (swelling index, extractive substances by alcohol and moisture content) and chemical techniques (phytochemical screening, total ashes content, acid insoluble ashes content, total polyphenol contents, total tannin contents and total flavonoid contents). It was observed highly contents of phenolic compounds, flavonoids and tannins, beyond to the presence of saponins and terpenes, suggesting an important phytotherapeutical potential to be investigated.
