Chlorophyll benefits the body in a unique and distinctive ways. It is helps to cleanse harmful toxins from the body and it is also uses to fight infection.

In the present study, the chlorophyll was extracted from the leaves from nine medicinal plants and characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy. Concentration of chlorophyll a and b was calculated using Arnon method. Chlorophyll content was higher in Mimosa pudica than other medicinal plants which are used in this study.
