Abstract

Ayurvedic medicine standardisation and quality control concepts can be traced all the way back to ancient times. Vaidyas used to collect herbs based on their organoleptic characteristics, such as taste, texture, smell, and colour, and use them in the preparation of medications. Drug manufacturing principles and desired features of final medications have also been discussed. Even if the principles were formed based on the scientific parameters in use at the time, they must be assessed and answered in light of the current state of science and technology. The Kashaya formulation is also made in the form of Ghanavati (Tablet) to compare it analytically and check which is more durable with medicinal value maintained for a longer period, easy to administer and store. The present study has been undertaken to prepare Kokilakshadi Kashaya and Kokilakshadi Ghanavati and compared analytically.
