Aims: Shringyadi Leha has been prepared and studied for its Physico-chemical parameters. The adopted formula- tion is Shringyadi Leha based on Chakradatta. Shringyadi Leha has significant efficacy in pediatric disorders. Methods and Material: The present study provides details of the preparation of Shringyadi Leha, and methods employed in Physico-chemical parameters. Results: Physico-chemical observations revealed the specific characters of the preparation. The preliminary HPTLC study of the compound revealed the components, eight spots in short UV 254nm, 09 spots in 366nm and 10 spots in long UV 550nm. Conclusions: Evaluation of Shringyadi lehyam can be used as a reference standard for further quality control research for the manufacturing and processing of Shringyadi Leah. Keywords: Shringyadi Leha, Pharmaceutical parameters and HPTLC.

Rasashastra & Bhaisajya Kalpana is the prime branch of Ayurveda because of the preparation of medicine described in this branch. In ancient times pharmacokinetics of the drug was described in the principle of Dosha and Dushya which is a comprehensive matter for Ayurvedic professionals. But for global acceptance, we need to describe this view (pharmacokinetics) in the form of pharmacological language and convert this ancient medicine in the form of new dosage forms like gel, granules, syrup etc. Panchavalkal Kashaya was described for the treatment of women disease wounds and ulcers in different Ayurvedic texts like Charaka Samhita, Sharangdhara Samhita, Kashyapa Samhita, Bharat Bhaisajya Ratnakar, Bhava-Prakash. In this article, an attempt has been made to describe how to prepare the thermo-sensitive vaginal gel form, of Panchavalkal Kashaya extract for the use of women diseases like leucorrhoea. The thermosensitive gel is in the liquid form at room temperature (20- 25°C) and undergoes gelation when in contact with body fluid (35-37°C). There are many thermo-sensitive polymers like cellulose derivatives, poloxamer, poly (ethylene oxide) /poly (D, L- lactic acid-glycolic acid). Keywords: Ayurveda, Panchvalkal Kashaya, Thermo-sensitive gel, Charaka Samhita.

Choraka is a highly valued aromatic plant endemic to the Himalayan region. Angelica glauca is a perennial herb of Umbelliferae family. It is very commonly used as a spice and for treating stomach ailments. Its es-sential oil is highly valued and has broncho-relaxant, antimicrobial, antifungal, anxiolytic and antioxidant activity. Its chemical constituents are mainly (Z)-ligustilide, (Z)-butylidenephthalide, and (E)-butyl ideneph-thalide. It has been in use since the period of Arthashastra and references can also be seen in Brihatrayi and various Nighantus for Mukha and Nasa roga chikitsa. Ruthless uprooting of the plant from its natural habitat for its sale in the market has led to a considerable decline in its availability. This article deals with its distribution, its uses in Ayurveda with classical references, researches on its extracts, controversies and the threats faced by the plant.
