STANDARDIZATION OF BHRINGARAJASAVA

Abstract

Bhringarajasava is one of the most efficient formulation used in Saptadhatukshaya, recommended as Balavriddhikar yoga in Rajayakshma. Bhringarajasava has been docu-mented for the first time in Gadanigraha by Acharya Shodhala, Then later in Bharat Bhai-shajaya Ratanakara. Bhringarajasava attracted most of the Acharayas as well as consumers because of its efficacy. The pharmaceutical procedure of Bhringarajasava was somewhat dif-ferent than the other Asava. Thus a critical study of its pharmaceutical procedure and its ana-lytical study was under taken to standardize the formulation. The parameters included are: Organoleptic parameters, Physical parameters like Weight per millilitre, Specific gravity, Determination of pH values, Determination of total solids, Determination of acid value, De-termination of alcohol content, Estimation of sugars [Reducing sugars, Non-reducing sugars].
