Abstract

Agastya Haritaki Rasayana (AHR) is an important Ayurvedic confectionary formulation (Avaleha)
containing Dashamoola, Pippali (Piper longum Linn), Bharangi (Clerodendrum serratum Spreng),
Kapikacchu (Mucuna pruriens Bek), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula Retz) etc as main ingredients. Though
A H R is very effective for disorders of Respiratory tract, but till date no work has been carried out to
standardize this formulation. Hence the present study was undertaken to standardize the Poly Herbal
formulation (AHR) through pharmacognostical and pharmaceutical evaluations. The sample was subjected
for various physicochemical parameters like water soluble extractive (71.10%w/w), alcohol soluble
extractive (44.93%w/w), ash value (2.95% w/w), acid insoluble ash (0.39%w/w), loss on drying (9.07%
w/w), the pH(5), dextrose value, HPTLC. Thus, the physicochemical and microscopic characters achieved
may provide guideline for standardization of formulation A H R.
