Background: The Ceropegia juncea Roxb. Belongs to the subfamily Asclepiadoideae and the family Apocynaceae. The histochemistry is used to localize primary and secondary metabolites within the cells, which can be determined by using specific chemicals and colours in the twinning herbaceous plant C. juncea. Materials and Methods: Histochemical analysis is to identify the absorption of colour in the specific location of the cells or tissues selected for phytochemicals and the powder microscopy analyzed by standard protocols. Results: The alkaloid, protein, tannin, lipid, crystal, starch, steroid, phenol and flavonoid in different cells and the powder microscopy exhibits parenchyma, fragments of vascular bundles, bordered pitted vessels, spiral vessels, fibre bundles, sclereids, prismatic calcium oxalate crystals and lipid. Conclusion: Alkaloids can cure cancer, inflammation and protein used for weight loss, rich in antioxidants, anti-diabetic, improve immune system followed by lipids used to regulate hormone, transmit nerve impulses and store energy. Tannin has the ability of antioxidants, to maintain skin and anti-inflammatory. Natural chemicals are localized in the Ceropegia juncea Roxb. Stem different cells to isolate phytoconstituents for further in vitro and in vivo studies to produce novel drug.
