ABSTRACT

Grahani is the Adhishthana of Agni and Agni Dushti is the main reason of the disease. The disease Grahani Dosha is very commonly seen in present pediatric practice due to highly faulty dietary habits with clinical features of Muhurbaddha Muhurshithila Mala Pravritti (bowel disturbances), Udara Shula (abdominal pain), Aruchi (loss of appetite) etc. and it aggravates to form a critical condition if the proper care is not taken. As per classical literature Mustakadi Churna is indicated in such condition. In this study Mustakadi Churna is converted into Vati form due to easy palatability in pediatric patients. Methods: Final product was subjected to Phrmacognostical and physico-chemical analysis such as microscopic study, loss on drying, ash value, pH etc. Results: Phrmacognostical study showed the presence of contents such as; Silica deposition and Starch grains of Musta, Rhomboidal Crystal, Stone cells and Cork cells of Kutaja, Oil globule, Cork cells and Stone cells of Bilwa, Brown content, Starch grains and Pitted Vessels of Ativisha. Conclusion: The present work was carried out to standardize the finished product Mustakadi Vati in terms of its identity, quality and purity. Pharmacognostical and Physico-chemical observations revealed the specific characters of all active constituents used in the preparation.
