Masi (Black ash) prepared from this combination is of great use. No pharmacognostical profiles are available on Triphala Masi till date. So the same is attempted in current study. Aim: To evaluate pharmacognostical profiles of Triphala Masi prepared at three different levels of temperature. Materials and Methods: Tripahla Masi was prepared at three different levels of temperature and samples were coded as TM 1, TM 2 and TM 3 and further subjected for pharmacognostical profiles. Results: Loosened walls of epicarp cells were observed in TM 1 sample prepared at 300<sup>0</sup>C; showed that these cells sustained up to this temp. At 350<sup>0</sup>C, epicarp cells in the sample TM 2 were seen disturbed. But when heat was increased up to 400<sup>0</sup>C, only black mass was observed in TM 3 sample. Conclusion: Based on pharmacognostical observations, 400<sup>0</sup>C temperature is required for preparation of Triphala Masi.</p><p> </p><p class="p"> </p>}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine}, author={Bhatt, Griva and Kaur, Harmeet and R, Harisha C and Ruknuddin, Galib and K, Prajapati P}, year={2016}, month={Jun.} }
