ABSTRACT

Standardization of the herbal formulations is essential in order to assess the quality of drugs for their therapeutic values. Dabur Triphala Churna is used for immune system stimulation, improvement of digestion, relief of constipation, gastrointestinal tract cleansing, and treatment of diabetes and eye diseases. The present research study deals with the standardization of Dabur Triphala Churna [i.e. Emblica officinalis (Garetn.) (Amla), Terminalia bellerica (Gaertn.) Roxb. (Baheda) and Terminalia chebula (Retz.) (Harada)]. It was standardized in order to assess the quality of drugs, based on the concentration of their active principles according to the World health organization guidelines. The various parameters analyzed included organoleptic characteristics and physicochemical features. The set parameters were found to be sufficient to standardize the Triphala churna and can be used as reference standards for the quality control/ quality assurance study mostly on plant drugs for their primary health care needs. The results obtained may be considered as tools for assistance to the regulatory authorities, scientific organization and manufacturers for developing standard formulations of great efficacy.
