Herbal medicines have a long therapeutic history; serving many of the health needs of large population of the world. However, the quality control and assurance remains as a challenge due to the high discrepancy of chemical components involved. In <em>Ayurvedic</em> texts, several formulations have been mentioned in Prameha (Diabetes Mellitus). <em>Kimshukatvagadi</em> is one such formulation mentioned in Sahasrayoga Vati Prakarana adhyaya. It contains <em>Palash</em> (<em>Butea monosperma </em>Lam.), <em>Haridra</em> (<em>Curcuma longa</em> L.), <em>Amalak</em>i (<em>Emblica officinalis</em> L.), <em>Kataka</em> (<em>Strychnos potatorum </em>L.f.),<em> Vairi</em> (<em>Salacia reticulata</em> Wight). <em>Kimshukatvagadi Vati</em> was converted into Ghana to increase its potency and then it was sealed into Capsule for increasing the shelf life, making it easy to dispense, dose fixation etc. <em>Kimshukatvagadi Ghana Capsule</em> was subjected to organoleptic analysis, phytochemical and qualitative analysis to detect the presence of various functional groups, and to high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) examination by optimizing the solvent systems.</p> ER -
