Abstract	Helminthic infections are widespread and require effective treatment to prevent health complications. Although synthetic drugs are commonly used, issues like resistance and side effects highlight the need for safer alternatives. This study evaluates the anti-helminthic activity of a selected plant extract, which showed promising, dose-dependent worm paralysis and death times when compared with a standard drug. The findings suggest that the plant extract could serve as a potential natural anti-helminthic agent, supporting further research. Pomegranate (Punica granatum) peel is rich in bioactive compounds such as tannins, flavonoids, and alkaloids, which are known for medicinal properties. In this study, pomegranate peel extract was evaluated for its anti-helminthic activity. The extract showed effective, dose-dependent paralysis and death of helminths when compared with a standard drug. These results suggest that pomegranate peel is a promising natural source for developing safe and affordable anti-helminthic agents.
