Background: 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. Materials and Materials: 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. Results: 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. Discussion: The results from all three formulations were consistent with traditional Ayurvedic principles and modern quality standards, supporting their safety and efficacy for therapeutic use. Conclusion: 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.

Background: The scientific validation of traditional Ayurvedic formulations is crucial for integrating them into modern therapeutic practices. Dhanwanthari Taila, a widely used Ayurvedic medicated oil, is traditionally used for pain management, particularly in musculoskeletal disorders like Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP). Aim and Objectives: This study utilizes Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) to analyze the chemical composition of Dhanwanthari Taila, aiming to establish correlations between its bioactive compounds and its therapeutic effects in pain relief. Materials and Methods: A sample (100 mL) of Dhanwanthari Taila was procured from KLE GMP certified Ayurveda Pharmacy and subjected to GC-MS analysis using standard analytical protocols to identify its bioactive components. Results and Discussion: The analysis identified key bioactive compounds, including Glycidyl palmitoleate, Oleic acid, 1-Decyne, 3-Tridecene, and Hexadecanoic acid derivatives, which are known for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. The high concentration of Glycidyl palmitoleate suggests its potential contribution to the oil{\textquoteright}s therapeutic efficacy. These findings align with the traditional use of Dhanwanthari Taila in alleviating pain, inflammation, and stiffness, supporting its role in managing CLBP and related conditions. Conclusion: The presence of these bioactive molecules validates the therapeutic application of Dhanwanthari Taila as an effective pain-relieving formulation. Further research is essential to explore its clinical efficacy and potential integration into conventional pain management strategies.
