Abstract

The three foundations of Ayurveda, the science of life, are Hetu, Linga, and Aushada. The study of Aushada dravyas in all of its facets is included in Aushada jnana. An extensive macroscopic, microscopic, physicochemical, and phytochemical screening, as well as standardization for herbal drugs used in the formulation, are required to determine the purity of herbal raw materials and to detect adulteration among them. This will help to avoid any ambiguity and will also serve as a reference for future research. In the present study genuine botanically identified Krishna Haridra rhizome was collected in Sharad rutu and its Macroscopic, Microscopic, Pharmacognostic evaluation, Phytochemical evaluation and quantification of Curcumin was done through hyphenated technique HPTLC.
