STANDARDIZATION OF BHRINGARAJASAVA

Bhringarajasava is one of the most efficient formulation used in Saptadhatukshaya, recommended as Balavriddhikar yoga in Rajayakshma. Bhringarajasava has been documented for the first time in Gadanigraha by Acharya Shodhala, Then later in Bharat Bhaishajaya Ratanakara. Bhringarajasava attracted most of the Acharayas as well as consumers because of its efficacy. The pharmaceutical procedure of Bhringarajasava was somewhat different than the other Asava. Thus a critical study of its pharmaceutical procedure and its analytical study was under taken to standardize the formulation. The parameters included are: Organoleptic parameters, Physical parameters like Weight per millilitre, Specific gravity, Determination of pH values, Determination of total solids, Determination of acid value, Determination of alcohol content, Estimation of sugars[Reducing sugars, Non-reducing sugars]
