CMC, group II was given diclofenac sodium dose of 5.136 mg/kgBW, groups III, IV, and V were given ethanol extract of tamarind leaves at a doses of 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kgBW. The test animals induced with 1% lambda carrageenan by intraplantar after one hour given test preparation orally. Measurements of edema volume and thickness of the rats were carried out before and after induction for 7 hours at 1 hour intervals using a pletysnometer and calipers. The research data was calculated statistically using the one way anova test and Post Hoc LSD. The results of the study showed that the extract group at a dose of 1000 mg/kgBW had an anti-inflammatory effect not significantly different compared to  the diclofenac sodium group at a dose of 5.136 mg/kgBW.
