Treatment with Nigella saliva extract at a dose of 250 mg/kg body weight and at a dose of 500 mg/kg body weight orally daily for 14 days produced anti-inflammatory effect. The percentage of inhibition of granuloma formation were 19.30% and 41.42% respectively. Administration of aspirin and hydrocortisone for 14 days showed also anti-inflanunatoq effect and the percentage of inhibition of granuloma formation were 27.67% and 38.58% respectively.
