Abstract

Flowers/Puspa have special place in Ayurveda and Indian society. From beautification to spiritual connect the flowers are used for various purposes in the treatment of many diseases. The Agastya Puspa has been mentioned in various references in Ayurveda treatises was studied for its Physico-chemical studies, HPTLC and ICP-MS Method. The results of the Agastya Puspa were noted and it was observed that Quercetin a chemical compound was identified in HPTLC. In ICP-MS Method metals like Calcium, Copper, Iron, Potassium, Magnesium, Manganese, Sodium and Zinc were identified. Here an attempt has been made to study Agastya Puspa Curna Analytically and to develop fingerprints by Physico-Chemical parameters, High- Performance Thin Layer chromatography study (HPTLC) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS).

Keywords: Dravyaguna, Pharmaceutical preparation, HPTLC, Physico-chemical parameters, ICP-MS.
