Physicochemical parameters resulted in water soluble extractive (35.8 ± 0.35), alcohol soluble extractive (38.6 ± 0.24), total ash (9.25 ± 0.12), acid insoluble ash (1.94 ± 0.23), water soluble ash (6.5 ± 0.18), pH (7.49 ± 0.02), crude fat (0.3 ± 0.1), LOD at 105<sup>0</sup>C (7.2 ± 0.6) and moisture content (6.2 ± 0.8). Phytochemical analysis shows the presence of alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, etc. Fluorescence analysis of formulation was studied using different chemical reagents.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The in-house formulation was prepared and screened for various standardization parameters as per ayurvedic pharmacopoeial standards.</p> ER -
