Abstract
Pathyadi churna is a Herbo-Mineral preparation mentioned in Chakradutta, which is indicated in all types of Ajeerna like Ama, Vidagdha, Vishtabdha and Rasasesha. Pathya, Pippali and Souvarchala lavana are the ingredients of the preparation. pH, LOD, Ash values, Water and Alcohol soluble extracts were observed. Ash value was a little high due to the high presence of Souvarchala lavana. HPTLC was done to determine the presence of constituents like Gallic acid and Piperine. The presence of heavy metals was within limits. The presence of Alkaloids and Phenols was also observed. This help suggests the drug's possible mode of action in digestive disorders. The antimicrobial study of Pathyadi churna revealed its action against S. aureus, C. albicans, Lactobacillus acidophilus and B. subtilis, but the probiotic action is revealed when the trial drug is given with its anupana Masthu. Also found is that Pathyadi churna doesn’t act against E. Coli bacteria.
