It mentions the use of metals in a refined form as bhasma. Loha is used extensively in the Ayurvedic literature for the management of various diseases like Pandu (Anemia), Shotha (Oedema), Kamala (Jaundice) etc. It is very hard metal hence it should be made into bhasma for using it for medicinal purposes. Iron fillings are subjected to samamnya shodhana and vishesha shodha to prepare the bhasma. Pharmaceutical and analytical studies were conducted during the process of preparation of the Loha bhasma to know the changes in the chemical composition at various satges. Namburi Phased Spot Test was done to prove the fineness of the bhasma. In this study an attempt has been made to standardize the process of the preparation of the Loha bhasma and to establish chemical standards like iron content in the bhasma and the Namburi Phased Spot Test.

Sushruta in his Sushruta samhita, a representative treatise of Indian school of surgery, devoted many chapters for the description and management of Vrana. According to modern medicine and recent researches the etiology and pathogenesis of wound and its healing involves many systemic, local, and molecular factors. Foreign bodies, tissue maceration, ischaemia, infection, systemic factors like advanced age, malnutrition, diabetes, and renal disease are some among them. Ayurveda advocates both internal and external therapies for the management of Vrana. Upward and downward evacuation, fasting, de-saturating diet, blood letting, washing of the wound with medicated decoctions, external application of medicated oils etc. are some among them. Though many factors involves in wound healing, the complex interaction between epidermal and dermal cells and the extra cellular matrix are considered to play an important role. Based on this fact and in order to simplify the treatment, as per the classical references Dvi-avartita Bhringaraja taila was selected for the present study. Fifteen patients of chronic infected ulcers of variant etiology with common features like ulcer with foetid pus, oozing, pain etc. were selected for the present study. Out of 15 cases, 8 (53.33%) got good response, 5 (33.33%) got fair response, 1 (6.67%) got poor response and 1 (6.67%) case had no response. Parameter wise 80.00% of relief in pain, 73.17% in curing of Pus discharge, 81.08% in curing of Foul smell, 78.79% relief in Oedema/ induration and 65.00% Reduction of ulcer were found. Over all 69.52% relief was found by assessing all parameters. Statistical analysis of the mean difference before and after treatment in relief on all the above symptoms were found highly significant (P<0.0001).

It makes life miserable and crippling due to unknown cause, claiming the maximum loss of human working capacity. The polyarticular joint disease has been described in Ayurveda has high resemblance with Rheumatoid arthritis in modern medicine. The disease draws attention for the consideration of research firstly due to the gravity of the problem and secondly due to lack of adverse free modern drugs for the treatment of R.A. Hence the present study has been taken up to see the efficacy of a combination of herbomineral drugs i.e Sunthi, Guggulu and Godanthi bhasma (1:2:1 ratio) on 71 cases of Amavata (R.A). The study observations showed that the overall treatment response among the cases studied, 10 (15%) cases showed good response, 20 (30%) cases showed fair response, 33 (49%) cases showed mild response and 4 (06%) patients did not show any response and rest 4 cases were dropouts. There was a significant improvement in loss of appetite, anorexia, fever in amavata patients after treatment. Statistical analysis of the mean difference before and after treatment in relief on all the above symptoms except in sub cutaneous nodules and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), were found highly significant (P<0.0001). It was also observed a definite improvement and subjectively maximum patients had a feeling of well-being. No side effects were reported during and after the treatment.

The cause of ulceration in patient is mainly due to hyper secretion of  Hcl ,pepsin, infection of  H. Pylori and also caused by stress and anxiety. In Siddha system of medicine a number of preparations have been used for the treatment of Gunmam. The Maankombu parpam (Sirungi Bhasma-(SB)) has been used for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. In view of this, in present study we have to evaluate the anti-ulcer activity of SB. Study was carried out, by using pyloric ligation method in Wister albino rats . SB has significantly decreased free-acidity, total-acidity, ulcer index and gastric volume and significantly increased the pH in pylorus ligated model. Cyto-protective action may be the major mechanism responsible for the present study which cause the generation of prostaglandins promoting inhibition of ulcer. This study shows that SB has the potential  to be used as an anti-ulcer drug.

The plant especially the fruits have immense folklore usage even today. It has been described in Ayurvedic classical texts like Rajanighantu and Nighantu ratnakara. So far no study reports are available on chemical analysis on the dried fruits of shivalingi. Hence, the present attempt was undertaken with an objective to investigate the physicochemical and preliminary phytochemical studies. The methodology of the study also involved Thin Layer chromatography and fluorescence parameters. The results of the analyses showed the presence of organic constituents like alkaloids, triterpinoids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids and proteins in the dried fruit. This provides impetus to conduct advanced research on this fruit to uncover its vast medicinal potential.

It leads to many fatal conditions like heart failure, cerebral haemorrhage, renal disease, dissecting aortic aneurysms etc. It is characterized by the elevated blood pressure and includes symptoms like Shirah-shul (headache), Bhrama (giddiness), etc. According to Ayurveda, hypertension is caused by the vitiation of pitta, rakta, meda and obstructing the channels of the body. So to cure the disease a drug having the properties of reducing pitta, meda, rakta and cleaning the channels of the body is preferred. So a herbal drug Kutaki (Picrorrhiza kurroa) having the similar properties has been taken for the study to understand its effect on Hypertension. An open end clinical trial was conducted on 30 patients of primary hypertension and drug was administered internally in a dose of 250 mg twice daily along with jaggery for 15 days. The results showed that there is mild to moderate relief in the patients with the drug and no untoward side-effects were seen in any patients.

It is a mercurial preparation prepared by treating specific ratio of mercury and Sulphur in a glass bottle in traditional furnace by graded heating pattern over stipulated duration. In the present paper, by laying standard procedures an attempt has been made eliminate controversies and technical hitches for its preparation on pharmacy scale. Results of 3 batches concluded that maximum 13 hrs of heating in a graded pattern of 2, 4 and 7 hrs for mild, moderate and stern heating is sufficient for preparing an average amount of 1.9 kg Rasasindoora from 3.5 kg of Kajjali with utilization of 21.67 kg of fuel in terms of coal and charcoal in a traditional furnace. Analysis of finished product for its characterization on refined instrumentations like XRD, EDAX and FTIR revealed that it is essentially a mineral compound having organic ligands and is chemically mercuric sulphide (HgS) with particle range between 10-50 μm and having mercury as 79.41 % and Sulphur as 20.59 % by weight.

But now days due to urbanization, deforestation and industrialization certain medicinal plants have become extinct and became difficult to make use of them in therapeutics. Hence demand is naturally increased as there was restriction of entry into forests imposed to protect the endangering plants.      By increasing demand of such drugs which are considerably less in availability, by adulteration/substitution of the raw materials has taken its place creating havoc in the Ayurvedic pharmaceutical industry. Hence the need is to standardize these herbs through botanical surveys, Pharmacognostical studies, assessment of the quality material available in particular area of market etc. In the present study of Anthocephalus cadamba MIQ (Kadamba), Adina Cordifolia BENTH & HOOK (Dhara Kadamba), Mytragyna parvifolia KORTH (Dhuli Kadamba), for standardization collected from different places.

A number of enhancements can be made to the basic method of thin layer chromatography to automate the different steps, to increase the resolution achieved and to allow more accurate quantitative measurements. Automation is useful to overcome the uncertainty in droplet size and position when the sample is applied to the TLC plate by hand. One recent approach to automation has been the use of piezoelectric devices and inkjet printers for applying the sample. The assay combines the separation and quantification of the analyses on silica gel HPTLC plates with visualization under UV and scanning. Using this technique, the alkaloid content of different parts of the drug Panchavaktra ras finger print profile has been determined for the 3 experiments in the different times. HPTLC of Panchavaktra ras is the preliminary quantitative analysis which shows the number of components present in the sample accurately and precisely on the basis of mild variations in Rf values, that can acceptable in this drug and it indicates the purity of drugs. The UV spectrum of the common peaks with large abundance appeared at Rf 0.46, 0.33, 0.28, 0.30, 0.41, 0.49, 0.56, 0.57, 0.59, 0.99 were found to be super imposable revealing the presence of the same constituents in all the 3 samples.

Protein purification characterization and pharmacological activity en_US Urokinase, a potent plasminogen activator is an enzyme present in cowurine attributing to the thromboembolic properties of cow urine but its presence in cow urine has never been convincingly documented. In our work, we did isolation, purification, partial characterization and quantitation of urokinase in cowurine using newly developed spectrophotometric bioassay method and studied its invitro blood clot dissolving activity. The cow urine was collected from cows of Indian origin (Bos indicus). Isolation of Urokinase was done by ammonium sulfate precipitation and dialysis. Purification was done by using Sephadex G-200 Gel Filtration Chromatography. Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), Gelatin Zymography, HPLC and TLC of tryptic digest of the purified urokinase was carried out for partial characterization studies which conformed the molecular weight of 59 kD of the purified Urokinase. Quantification with the help of new spectrophotometric bioassay method showed 956 IU/ml and with the help of HPLC it was 910 IU/ml of urokinase in cow urine. The invitro blood clot dissolving activity on a cotton cloth confirmed the activity and efficacy of the isolated and purified urokinase.

Conversion of metals and minerals into acceptable form i.e. bhasma is a unique technology of Ayurveda. Certain technical procedures like Sodhana, Marana (Incineration process) etc. will play a greater role in converting the material into acceptable form. GMP provides certain directions for processing these medicines in present day. Standard operative procedure, particularly for bhasma preparation has become mandatory for the standardization and quality control of bhasmas. By considering these views in present research work the different samples of lauha bhasma were prepared by using different raw materials viz. Magnetite iron ore, iron turnings. As per the description of Ayurveda, Kanta lauha (Magnetite iron ore) is considered as best raw material for lauha bhasma preparation. After this next best raw material for lauha bhasma preparation is Teekshna lauha (iron turnings). The availability of Kanta lauha (magnetite iron ore) is rare, hence in many Ayurvedic pharmaceutical industries, lauha bhasma is prepared by Teekshna lauha. In the present work a step is made to find out the best quality of lauha bhasma by preparing various samples of lauha bhasma.

The pharmaceutical processing involved preparation of chakrikas (pellets) by triturating the ingredients and sealing them in Sharava (shallow earthen disc) samputa (uniform smeared and dried) and subjecting the apparatus to Agni. After self-cooling (swangasheeta), the mixture was triturated with kadali kanda swarasa for one day and the final product was subjected to analysis. Apasmarari rasa was subjected to assess the LD 50 and Anti convulsant activity on Male Albino rats was by means of MES (Maximal Electro convulsing Shock) Method. A supra maximal strength was 150mA in rats for 0.2 seconds and stimulus was applied via ear clip electrodes. The animal dose of Phenytoin (7.2mg/kg), Smriti sagar rasa (18mg/kg) and Apasmarari rasa (5.4mg/ kg) was given orally to different groups. The animals were observed for a period of 180 minutes after being subjected to electro convulsions. Experimental study had shown some significant result when compared to other drugs. No doubt, that both standard drugs also shown good results when it comes to HLE (hind limb extension), but other factors such as time duration of flexion, tonus, clonus, recovery time amongst others in test drug group (Apasmarari rasa) showed significantly better results. Some other observation such as nasal bleeding and orbital bleeding was also absent in test drug group (Apasmarari rasa).

These action of Shwas kuthar rasa may be due to its antimicrobial activity, so that in vitro antimicrobial activity was assessed by Agar Disc Diffusion method with reference to staphylococcus aureus. In-vitro tests are necessary to help determine initial dose-response data as well as to evaluate potential susceptibility and/or resistance of specific pathogens. In-vitro systems include the ability to control the number of bacteria, extent of antimicrobial-bacteria contact time, as well as the influence of various environmental factors, such as oxygen tension, pH, and temperature. Agar dilution methods are to determine the lowest concentration of the assayed Shwas kuthar rasa as antimicrobial agent (minimal inhibitory concentration, MIC) that, under defined test conditions, inhibits the visible growth of the bacterium being investigated. MIC values are used to determine susceptibilities of bacteria to drugs and also to evaluate the activity of new antimicrobial agents.

Indigenous drugs are being tried to treat such patient along with conventional antidepressant drugs. Objective: To investigate the antidepressant action of Ashwagandha and Bramhi  and also to confirm its efficacy in the behavioural despair animal model of depression. Material and methods: Normal saline as control (5ml/kg), imipramine as standard (16,32,64 mg/kg) and ashwagandha (50,100,150 mg/kg), bramhi (20,40,80 mg/kg) as test drugs were introduced to the albino rats weighing between 200-250gm for 2 weeks, 1 hr before electric shock in Learned helplessness test (LHT) and swimming in Forced swimming test (FST). Effects of individual drugs as well as their combination were evaluated. Result: Avoidance response, escape failure and immobility period in case of imipramine and ashwagandha showed highly significant (p<0.01) result on individual use.  There was no significant result in case of Bramhi used alone except in escape failure and immobility period (FST), where at higher doses it showed significant (p<0.01) result . But combination of Bramhi and ashwagandha in low doses with low dose of imipramine gave a highly significant result (p<0.01) in all the parameters. Conclusion: Ashwagandha had significant antidepressant action, but bramhi had not when used alone. Combination of these two indigenous drugs with imipramine showed high efficacy in animal model.

A rational therapy for gastric ulcers still remains elusive and search for safer potential drugs is being carried out. The present comparative experimental study was planned to see the efficacy of two Ayurvedic formulations i.e. Narikela Khanda (Cocus nucifera candy) and Narikela Khanda granules by using swimming stress induced ulcers and hypothermia in albino rats. Wister strain albino rats of either sex were divided into three groups, each group consists of six animals. Here group 'A' received Narikela Khanda suspension, while group 'B' received Narikela Khanda granules suspension and group 'C' received dose of tap water which served as stress control group. Narikela Khanda and Narikela Khanda granules were prepared in house laboratory of the department. Wister strain albino rats of either sex weighing between 150-250g were selected for the study. Effects of both the formulations were assessed on different parameters like change in body weight, effect on rectal temperature and ulcer index. Body weight decrease was seen in both the formulations compared to initial body weight. Both the formulations did not affect the rectal temperature to significant extent in comparison to stress control group. An apparent and statistically highly significant decrease in ulcer index was observed in both the test formulations treated group in comparison to stress control group. The magnitude of anti-ulcer effect was found to be higher in Narikela Khanda granules treated group.

Synovial (SF) and Bursal fluid (BF) samples were aspirated by arthrocentesis. The levels of Mg were found to be significantly lesser (P<0.05) in arthritis patients under the treatment of modern medicines when compared to controls. However patients under the treatment of PF showed levels of Mg highly comparable to controls. Subsequently the possible prevalence of dwindling Mg in joint effusions has been inferred as a potential diagnostic biomarker in etiology of arthritis. Furthermore the therapeutic impact of PF due to bioavailable form of Mg implicates a stimulus for adept joint health.

They were randomly divided into two groups and were allotted Chlorhexidine gel (n=18) or G32 gum-paint (n=19) for local application for one month. Plaque index (Silness and Löe, 1964) and Gingival index (Löe and Silness, 1963) were recorded at baseline and follow-up by a calibrated examiner. Statistical analysis was performed using paired t-test for intragroup comparison of mean plaque and gingival scores, and independent t-test for intergroup comparison of mean percentage reduction in plaque and gingival scores. Results: Both test and control groups showed a significant reduction in plaque and gingivitis. The percentage reductions in plaque and gingivitis were similar among the two groups. Conclusion: G32 is effective in treating pregnancy gingivitis and can be economical alternative to Chlorhexidine, with lesser side effects.

In this disease, patient becomes incapable to do their daily routine work because of severe pain from Kati-pradesh (lumber region) to Gulfa-sandhi (ankle-joint). Where the treatment of sciatica is concern, only symptomatic management and a very few surgical procedures are only available in conventional medical science. All these are having their complications and side effects. On the other hand these management tools are not always affordable for the underprivileged section of people in countries like India. In this regard few Ayurvedic para-surgical procedures, which are very effective, simple, safe and cheap in nature can became handy for Ayurvedicians. Agnikarma is one of such procedures. Sushrutacharya mentioned Agnikarma chikitsa in the management of Sira,(Vain), Snayu(Nerve), Sandhi(Joints),  and Gridhrasi(Sciatica). Charakacharya mentioned Agnikarma chikitsa in the management of Gridhrasi(Sciatica) at the site of Antara-Kandara-Gulpha pradesha.  Moreover in Ayurveda various other types of management regarding Gridhrasi (Sciatica) like Snehana, Swedana, and Shamana yoga etc. are also indicated. In the study 18 patients were treated in two groups, one group by Agnikarma therapy and another by Snehan-swedana and shaman yoga for a duration of one month. Comparative efficacy was assessed by statistical analysis. Maximum result was noticed in the group treated with Agnikarma therapy by showing 100% relief in most of the cardinal features of the disease, and 85% improvement SLR test.

The presence of Dushtavrana(1) worsens the condition of the patient with different complications and may become fatal. Local factors on wound like slough, infection and foreign body, affect the normal process of healing. A healthy wound in a normal body heals earlier with a minimum scar as compared to a contaminated wound. Therefore in this study all the efforts are made to make a Dustvrana into a shuddhavrana. (2) Once the vrana becomes shuddha, ropana of the vrana will start. The objective of the study was to evaluate the Shodhana and Ropana effect of HingulamrutadiMalahara in Dushtavrana compared with standard Jatyadi Ghrita. Clinically diagnosed 40 Patients of Dushtavrana were randomly divided into two groups, each consisting of 20 Patients. H group were treated with the HingulamrutadiMalahara treated group. J Group as a control group was treated by JatyadiGhrita. On the basis of assessment criteria and overall result of treatment, the patients of Hingulamrutadi Malahara group showed better results when compared to Jatyadi Ghrita group. Hingulamrutadi Malahara has provided good relief in most of the signs and symptoms of the patients of Dushtavrana, in comparison to Jatyadi Ghrita. Its overall effects were good in comparison to Jatyadi Ghrita.

Clinical features of Vranashopha are much resembled to inflammatory swelling like as cellulitis. Cellulitis can cause mild discomfort to severe toxaemia, which can lead to death. In such condition, only systemic drugs are in clinical use, but they are not much helpful to eradicate the acute problem. It is probably, due to lack of their local availability on the swollen area, which further leads to ischemia cell death and ultimately gangrene formation. In this way we hypothesize that drugs, which could reduce local swelling/tissue damage, may be helpful in management of inflammation. Dashang lepa (mixture of ten indigenous drugs) mixed with 1/5th part of pure cow's ghrita (butter) was taken for external application over Vranashopha (cellulitis) in trial group. Clinical study in 20 patients of cellulitis in respect of local and generalized criteria was done. In the study, group containing Dashang lepa showed statistically highly significant (<0.01) in terms of reduction of pain, edema, erythema, tenderness and fever in the patients of cellulitis. Thus results revealed Dashang lepa is very effective against superficial inflammatory swelling.

Antibacterial activity on Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus bacterias and antifungal activity on fungi Candida albicans and Trichophyton rubrum were carried out by agar disk diffusion method. The shodhana process results that Shodhita Tuttha was found to be more effective compared to crude, as the diameter of the zone of inhibition was higher, even at low concentration of 1mg. The present study shows the importance of Shodhana process by enhancing the antimicroabial activity.

Swarna makshika is an important mineral of Maharasa varga frequently used in therapeutics since Samhita period. Ancient Rasa Scholars have developed number of processing methods for a single drug by which crude form of drug converted into highly potent therapeutic agent. It is necessary to find out the standard manufacturing procedure for metals/minerals bhasma which ensures the quality, safety, efficacy, and reproducibility of the products for their global acceptability. This paper aims to make available SMP of Swarna makshika bhasma by kupipaka followed by putapaka method. Longitudinal muffle furnace instead of conventional voluka yantra was found advantageous for kupipaka of Swarna makshika with kajjali. Makshika obtained after kupipaka was further subjected to 6 puta with 4 kg cow dung cakes fire for genuine bhasma preparation.

Certainly some regulations are required to keep a check on this massive industry. Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 (D& C Act) lays down the regulatory and recommendatory standards for Ayurvedic drugs. Objective: The present survey study was undertaken to assess the compliance of the D & C Act by the Ayurveda drugs manufacturing units. The guidelines laid down by this act formed the basis of the study. Materials & Methods: A total of 100 drug labels from 13 different major pharmaceutical houses were collected from the market and analysed on the basis of guidelines for labelling laid down under D&C Act, 1940. Results: It was found that none of the labels satisfied all the guidelines pertaining to labelling standards of the Ayurvedic drugs. It was observed that 92% drug labels did not mention the API standards of the drugs used while 99% drug labels did not mention the part of the plant used. Conclusions: It was inferred that potentially large number of the Ayurvedic drugs being marketed in India are misbranded.

Tuvaraka beeja Seeds of Hydnocarpus pentandra (Buch.-Ham.) Tuvaraka taila Caulmoogra oil Dravyaguna en_US Tuvaraka (Hydnocarpus pentandra (Buch.-Ham.)) is one among the most trusted drugs from the treasure of Ayurveda. The oil extracted from the seeds of ‘pakwa tuvaraka phala’, commonly known as ‘chaulmoogra oil’ is mentioned as a potential healer for all types of kushtha roga - a group of skin diseases. Tuvaraka (Hydnocarpus pentandra (Buch.-Ham.)) widely grows in the Western Ghats. It is an evergreen deciduous tree, growing up to 15 meters or more in height. The method of oil extraction from dry seeds of Tuvaraka has well documented ‘classical’ references. Since ‘Tuvaraka taila’ is a potent healer of ‘kushtha roga’ (skin diseases) (Su. Ci. 13 / 19 - 34) and very less used in the therapeutic world of Ayurveda because of its ‘teekshna guna’ (strong inherent properties), the proper extraction of this oil from the seeds of ‘tuvaraka’ is essential to promote its therapeutic use.  In this article, the extraction of ‘Tuvaraka beeja taila’ (Su. Ci. 13 / 19 - 34) is elaborately documented and discussed.

The study employed Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, respectively, as the test organisms and the assay was carried out by using agar well diffusion method. S. aureus was more susceptible to the extracts of fruits, stem, leaves and seeds of Emblica. The aqueous extract of leaves maximally inhibited the growth of S. aureus at its minimum concentration (0.1 µg) when compared to E. coli (1.0 µg). MIC for fruit and seed extracts were 1.5 and 3.75 µg and 1.5 and 5.0 µg, respectively, for S. aureus and E. coli.  The aqueous extract of stem had the least activity where more quantities of the extract were required to inhibit the growth of both S. aureus (15.0 µg) and E. coli (20.0 µg). Both the test organisms were resistant to the aqueous extracts of root of Emblica officinalis. It could be attributed from the present study that the inhibitory effect of Emblica officinalis is more against Gram-positive than Gram-negative bacteria. The leaf of Emblica is more inhibitory to the growth of bacteria than fruits, seeds or stem

Methods: Turmeric was added to GIC at concentration ratios of 0.5% w/w (group II) and 1% w/w (group III) to obtain the test groups. Conventional GIC served as control (group I). The antibacterial activity of the cement specimens were evaluated against Streptococcus mutans using the agar well inhibition test. The fluoride release was evaluated using fluoride ion selective electrode. The physical parameters evaluated were net setting time, shear bond strength and microleakage. Results: Group II and III showed significantly greater inhibition zones against S.mutans while the control group (Group I) showed only mild inhibition. Similarly group II and group III showed highly significant fluoride release compared to the control group. There was no statistically significant difference in the physical properties viz shear bond strength, microleakage and setting time of the cement between the groups.Conclusion: Incorporation of turmeric at a concentration of 1% has the potential to enhance the antibacterial activity of GIC as well as fluoride release without compromising on its physical abilities viz shear bond strength, micro leakage and setting time.

TLC aluminium plates precoated with silica gel 60F-254 (0.2 mm thickness) were used. The linear ascending development was carried out in twin trough glass chamber saturated with mobile phase Ethyl acetate: methanol: ammonia (8.0 : 2.0 : 0.2 v/v/v) and densitometric determination  was carried out by TLC scanner (CAMAG) at 254 nm in reflectance/absorbance mode. The Rf value of vasicine was found to be 0.54 ± 0.03. Linearity was found to be in the concentration range of 200 ng to 1600 ng. The linear regression data for the calibration plots showed a good linear relationship with r2=0.99 for vasicine. According to the ICH guideline the method was validate for accuracy, precision, recovery, robustness and ruggedness. The vasicine content quantified from polyherbal formulation (Cough Syrup) was found well within limits. The proposed method is accurate, precise, reproducible, and can be adopted for routine analysis of vasicine from polyherbal cough syrup by HPTLC 0b7a20c2d7f39d5d0d73f0b9c3515675
