Abstract

A completely herbal remedy called Gandarvahasthadi Kwatha is frequently used to treat vataja rogas such as sciatica (grudhrasi), back pain (Kati graha), etc. The Gandarvahasthadi Kwatha is a pharmaceutical drug combination that can be taken orally. It contains eight ingredients: Pathya (Terminalia chebula Retz.), Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa Linn.), Yavashaka (Tragia involucrata Linn.), Hutaswa (Plumbago zeylanica Linn.), Vishwam (Zingiber officinale Roxb.), Pathya (Terminalia chebula Retz.), Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa Linn.), and Bhumithalam (Asparagus adscendens Roxb.). The inability to standardize polyherbal mixtures makes it challenging to verify their effectiveness and preserve product quality. Thus, an effort has been made to investigate Gandarvahasthadi Kwatha through the development of f qualitative and quantitative analysis of Physicochemical parameters.
