Abstract

Saptanna Ghrita formulation is mentioned in the Sushruta Samhita, which is an Ayurvedic classic text. The drug has been chosen to treat the Prathama patalagata timira (Simple Myopia), which is a Drishtigata roga. It consists of seven ingredients with all of them having the chakshushya property. After the drug has been prepared it has undertaken the analytical study to establish the physical or the organoleptic character as well as the chemical nature which includes the pH, heavy metal content and the microbiological test to serve as the supporting literature and to maintain the standard quality of the formulations.

Keywords: Prathama patalagata Timira (Simple Myopia), Saptanna Ghrita.
