Abstract

Ayurveda is concerned with the maintenance of life and the healing of illnesses that present themselves in the human body. Several herbal and Herbo mineral preparations have been explained in Ayurveda for the treatment of disease. Standardization is necessary to ensure batch to batch consistency, as well as for routine drug preparation on a large scale. Modification of old dosage forms and development of new dosage forms is an evolving process that leads significantly to the flourishing of science with a transforming lifestyle and people's interest. The preparation of granules consists of a refined form of Ghana (solid herbal extract preparation) and Khanda Kalpana (solid preparations similar to granules). Shalmali moola granule is a formulation for its beneficial properties such as, Balya (immuno-modulators), Rasayana (rejuvenator), Vajikarana (aphrodisiac) etc. Present study has elaborated standardization, physio-chemical parameters, Qualitative analysis and Chromatography (HPTLC) of Shalmali moola granules. Granules were prepared by adopting reference of Bhaishjya Rantavali and This study will be useful for standardization of Shalmali moola granule and for the preparation of the monography of this formulation for the Ayurvedic Formulary of India (AFI).

Summary

Introduction

Revolutionary dosage formulations have been contributed by Bhaishjya Kalpana, the pharmaceutical manufacturing sector of Ayurveda. Under the Ghana Kriya outlook, Avaleha and Kahanda Kalpana’s are considered where the semi-solid to solid dosage type is described (1). It is often necessary to transform the dosage type to more acceptable for modern times with additional advantages of palatability and presentation. It is necessary to carry out a quality evaluation of the formulation. The lack of specific quality management criteria for herbal medicines and their formulations is one of the big issues faced by Ayurveda doctors. In today's global market to be relevant, a formula has to be standardised in order to accomplish global acceptance.
