Abstract

The present study investigates the pharmacognostical and phytochemical characteristics of Bhāvita Kośātakī Phala Cūrṇa, a classical Ayurvedic formulation used in the management of Madhumeha (diabetes mellitus). The concept of Bhāvanā— impregnation of herbal powders with the juice or decoction of the same or synergistic drugs—is a unique pharmaceutical process in Ayurveda believed to enhance the therapeutic efficacy. This study aimed to establish standard analytical profiles of Kośātakī Phala Cūrṇa and its Bhāvita form through organoleptic, microscopic, physicochemical, and preliminary phytochemical analyses.

Keywords: Kośātakī Phala, Bhāvita Cūrṇa, Pharmacognosy, Phytochemical analysis, Madhumeha, Standardization, Ayurveda.
