A large number of indigenous plants used as foods and medicines, around the world. Only few of these plants have been analyzed for their metal contents whereas several remain analyzed. Present study has been undertaken to investigate micronutrient and macronutrient metals among some hypoglycemic and non-hypoglycemic plants using atomic adsorption spectroscopy. Chromium present at ppb level, was studied by graphite furnace atomic adsorption spectroscopy equipped with hollow cathode lamp and zeeman background correction. The selected herbs resulted 0.132-1.8475mg/g Fe, 0.00430.0227mg/g Cr, 0.0278-0.1108mg/g Zn, 0.0102-0.345 mg/g Cu and 0.0095-0.6123mg/g Mn as micro-nutrients. however these metals are present in significant but under the safe and adequate limits. The water extract of these samples have rather low quantities.
