Abstract

In present study Ghanavati Kalpana is selected as an oral formulation. Ghanavati made from Vishaghna Mahakashaya Gana is selected for the study in abnormal vaginal discharge with the presence of microorganisms. Now-a-days, when human life is very fast, we should be ready to make necessary changes in our science according to the need of hour. The present study was aimed at setting up a standard profile of Vishaghna Ghanavati which was prepared using Pharmacognostical authenticated raw drugs followed by subjecting it to detailed Pharmacognostical and physicochemical analysis as per standard protocol. The observations were systematically recorded. Pharmacognostical findings (crystals, epicarp cells, trichome, etc.) confirm the ingredients present in the finished product. Identified phytochemical Parameters (Extractive values, Total ash, Acid soluble and water soluble, pH value) support the intended action of the formulation in vaginal discharge.
