Standardization of Milagathi Choornam

Abstract

Milagathi chooranam is a poly herbal formulation originated from Siddha system of Indian medicine. It is mainly used for ulcer (Gunmam). Though the individual herbs used in the formulation have the previous record of standardization, there is no record on the formulation hence the same is aimed. All the ingredients were procured and botanically authenticated. Ingredients were purified individually as per the classical literature after which the formulation was prepared. The prepared drug was subjected to analyses. The derived physico-chemical parameters, TLC profiling, HPTLC fingerprint profiles serve as diagnostic parameters to identify this polyherbal formulation. The achieved results of physico-chemical, TLC profiling, HPTLC finger print profiling will be useful as tools for authentication and standardization profile of the poly herbal formulation.
