Background:\ Ayurvedic formulations are used to treat a wide variety of diseases including diabetes mellitus Standardization of herbal formulation is essential in order to assess the quality of drugs. The present paper reports standardization of eight herbal anti-diabetic drugs-Momordica charantia\ (seeds),\ Syzigium cumini\ (seeds),\ Trigonella foenum\ (seeds),\ Azadirachta indica\ (leaves),\ Emblica officinalis\ (fruits),\ Curcuma longa\ (rhizomes),\ Gymnema sylvestre\ (leaves),\ Pterocarpus marsupium\ (heart-wood) individually and in polyherbal marketed samples of Baidyanath Madhumehari Churna\ Material and Methods:\ Shivayu Madhuhari Churna, Meghdut Madhushoonya Churna and were compared to the in-house preparation for physicochemical properties.\ Results and Conclusions:\ The limits obtained from the different physicochemical parameters of the individual eight herbal drugs and the marketed formulations could be used as reference standard for standardization of the anti-diabetic drugs in a quality control laboratory.
