Summary of article contents:

Standardization of a polyherbal formulation is mandatory in order to confirm the quality and reliability of herbal medicines. Kakkubathy choorna is one of the Ayurvedic study reported on the organoleptic characters and physicochemical parameters of polyherbal formulation. The organoleptic character of above drug is powder in nature pungent in property. Percent of weight loss on drying or moisture content was 15.2583±.33, extractive values in both water and ethanol was 19.176% and 8.248%. pH is acidic. The total ash value was 7.731± 0.577. After present analysis it can be concluded that the standardization and preliminary physicochemical analysis of kakkubathy choorna yielded a set of standards that can serve as an important source of information to ascertain the identity and to determine the quality and purity of substantial step and it further requires a long term study to evaluate therapeutic effect and toxicity to establish as the drug. Keywords: Kakkubathy choorna, physicochemical analysis, moisture content INTRODUCTION Herbal medicines or herbalism is the use of herbs or herbal products for the therapeutic purposes
