PREPARATION AND QUALITY EVALUATION OF A POLYHERBAL FORMULATION: KARKATI BEEJ CHURNA.
Main Article Content
Abstract
Herbal medicines, made up of different plants materials are used world wide to treat various disorders and are widely accepted by large number of population. But due to climatic changes and lack of knowledge w.r.t identification and preparation of the drugs, it is essential that quality evaluation of herbal medicines must be carried out to manifest the drug as potent and safe. Karkatibeej churna is an ayurvedic herbal formulation which is used in the treatment of urinary disorders. The present study focusses on the quality evaluation of Karkati beej churna w.r.t. parameters like organoleptic chracteristics, physicochemical parameters, microscopic evaluation, phytochemical screening and chromatographic profiling. A Thin layer chromatographic profile was obtained for saponins as saponins are considered as one of the plant diuretics. The results thus obtained for all the above mentioned parameters can be used for future references.
