ABSTRACT

Ayurveda is an ancient system of medicine that promotes health and healing by using natural components. Quality and standardisation are essential to ensure the therapeutic efficacy and safety of Ayurvedic medicines. This study evaluates the quality of three widely used Ayurvedic formulations: Erandamoola Kwatha, Dhanvantari Taila and Yogaraja Guggulu through organoleptic, physicochemical and phytochemical analysis. These formulations, procured from a GMP-certified Ayurveda pharmacy, were subjected to different analytical tests to assess their properties and active constituents. Erandamoola Kwatha was analysed for its form, colour, pH, specific gravity and total solids. The results are as per the in-house standards. Dhanvantari Taila underwent physicochemical analysis, including saponification, iodine value and rancidity testing, confirming its stability and quality. Yogaraja Guggulu was evaluated for disintegration time, moisture content, ash value and phytochemicals, revealing a rich profile of bioactive compounds, including steroids, flavonoids and tannins. Phytochemical screening highlighted key compounds such as cardiac glycosides and flavonoids in Erandamoola Kwatha and Yogaraja Guggulu, reinforcing their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The results from all three formulations were consistent with traditional Ayurvedic principles and modern quality standards, supporting their safety and efficacy for therapeutic use. This study emphasizes the importance of stringent quality control for Ayurvedic products, ensuring their reliability and therapeutic value. Future research should focus on bioavailability and clinical efficacy to further substantiate the therapeutic potential of these formulations.
