Role Of Experimental & Analytical Research In Validation For Ayurvedic Formulation

Abstract

Standardization is measurement for ensuring the quality and is used to describe all measures which are taken during the manufacturing process & quality control leading to a reproducible quality, safety and efficacy. Ayurveda medicines are serving the needs of ailing humanity since many centuries. There is a need of systematic and well-organized coordination of allied sciences along with adequate infrastructure and facilities to solve various problems related to Ayurvedic formulation. Use of formulation when prepared in improper and short cut ways, can prove injurious effect to health. Earlier medicines were prepared by physician themselves for their patients. The physicians were well qualified to identify the materials. They were trained in various processing. They were following guidelines of Shastra & experienced teachers. According to the immediate need of patients they were modifying the formulation as per their occupied understanding. Today physicians are more involved with diagnosis and treatment. The drug manufacturing has gone into the hands of pharmacy. In large scale production manufacturers compromised with quality and quantity of material. Compromised with longer and lengthy procedures. Equivalents substitutes are added in the compounds are not validated. The extract important procedures either altered or made shortcut. The led to the decline in the quality of Ayurvedic drugs. So for justification of Ayurvedic formulation action there need to prove the analytical and experimental studies.
