To the best of our knowledge the plant is so far reported only for memory enhancing properties. In this content we have included neuropharmacological study of camellia sinensis. In this study anti-depressant activity was assessed by forced swim test and tail suspension test. 2 gm of green tea [camellia sinensis (Vari. Assamica)] was soaked in 10 ml of water. This aqueous extract of camellia sinensis was administered to animal. We have used two dose of 200 ml/ Kg and 400 ml/ kg of aqueous extract of camellia sinensis.
