In this ethnopharmacological study, the acetone extract of rhizome (ACR), as well as petroether fraction (PEF), chloroform fraction (CHF), methanol fraction (MEF), and acetone extract of leaf (ACL) were subjected to pharmacological activity test. Phytochemical study revealed the presence of carbohydrates, tannins, flavonoids, proteins, steroids, alkaloids and resins in the crude extract of Kaempferia galanga. In Swiss albino mice, analgesic, neuropharmacological and antidiarrhoeal activity were investigated. The extracts were also evaluated for cytototoxicity and antibacterial activity.
