The anxiolytic activity was assessed by elevated plus maze (EPM) test and hole board tests (HBT), anti-depressant effect was appraised by tail suspension tests (TST) and forced swimming test (FST). During the anxiolytic assay by elevated plus maze test, the HaE-LS significantly (p< 0.05) increased the time spent in the open arm 71.67 ± 4.70 sec at the dosages of 400 mg/kg. In HBT HaE-LS exhibited dose-dependent anxiolytic activity. In TST, mice swallowed with 400 mg/kg of HaE-LS demonstrated significant (p< 0.005) immobile time 60.33 ± 2.37 sec.In FST, the HaE-LS displayed reductions in their immobility times, which was significant 75.67 ± 2.33 sec and 61.67 ± 2.33 sec at the dosage of 200 and 400 mg/kg, respectively. Overall, the results recommend that HaE-LS could be a promising beneficial option for the treatment of anxiety and depression disorders
