ABSTRACT
Soothagavaayu kudineer chooranam is one of the polyherbal formulation mentioned in siddha system of medicine. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the quality of formulation Soothagavaayu kudineer chooranam by conducting Physicochemical, Biochemical and Phytochemical evaluation through advanced analytical techniques. The organoleptic nature of the drug provides the purity and quality of the formulation. The results obtained from physicochemical evaluation shows that the total ash value of Soothagavaayu kudineer was 2±0.1%, in which the acid insoluble ash was 3.1±1.94%,loss on drying at 105ºC of the formulation Soothagavaayu kudineer chooranam was noted to be7.43±0.97 in which water soluble extract value and alcohol soluble extract value was 33.9±1.34 and 0.085% respectively. Biochemical analysis of Soothagavaayu kudineer chooranam exhibit the appearance of carbonates and nitrates.
