Pilla Shukra Nashaka Anjana Varti is an important Ayurvedic formulation containing Haritaki (Terminalia chebula Retz.), Amalaki (Emblica officinalis Gaertn.), Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellerica Roxb.), Katuki (Picrohriza kurroa Royle. ex Benth), Pippali (Piper longum Linn.), Saindhava (Sodium chloridum), Shankhabhasma and Tamra Bhasma. All the constituents are available and prepared according to the reference present in Ashtanga Hridaya Uttaratantra. No any work has been carried out for standardization of Pilla Shukra Nashaka Anjana Varti till date. For standardization of this Ayurvedic drug through Pharmacognostical and pharmaceutical evaluation, the present study was done. The sample was given for different phytochemical characters like ash value (34.33%w/w), alcohol soluble extract (55.62% w/w), water soluble extract (45.30% w/w), loss on drying (6.8%w/w), pH (6.5) and HPTLC. The HPTLC, solvent system was Toluene:ethyl acetate (9:1), showed the presence of 8 spots at 254nm and 4 spots at 366nm. Hence physiochemical and microscopic parameter achieved may gives guidelines for standardization of drug, Pilla Shukra Nashaka Anjana Varti.
