Abstract

Ayurveda, the ancient system of medicine originating in India over 5,000 years ago, is a holistic science that emphasizes the balance of body, mind, and spirit for maintaining health and treating disease. "Ayurveda, officially recognized by WHO as a traditional health system, offers an integrative approach that complements modern medicine while respecting local traditions and biodiversity." By harnessing the power of nature, Ayurvedic remedies aim to address the root causes of ailments rather than just alleviating symptoms. Ayurveda formulation is a combination of powerful compounds that work synergistically to detoxify, rejuvenate, and prevent disease, with an emphasis on maintaining long-term health rather than just symptomatic relief.[1] By considering individual constitution (Prakriti) and current imbalances (Vikriti), Ayurvedic formulations offer personalized solutions that not only treat physical ailments but also nurture mental and emotional health. While Ayurvedic formulations are highly effective in promoting health and well-being, the standardization of their mechanisms of action, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacovigilance remains largely unexplored. Despite their longstanding use in traditional medicine, scientific validation and comprehensive research on these aspects are still in the early stages, which limits their integration into mainstream healthcare practices.[2] Siddharthakadi Agad Vati is one such potent Ayurvedic formulation traditionally prescribed for a variety of disorders. However, there is a lack of documented studies on its physicochemical properties and organoleptic characteristics. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the organoleptic features, physicochemical parameters, pesticide residue, heavy metal test and HPTLC profile of Siddharthakadi Agad Vati.

Keywords: Ayurveda, Siddharthakadi Agad Vati, organoleptic, physicochemical parameters, Pesticide residue, Heavy metal test.
