Herbal medicines are plant derived materials and preparations with therapeutic or other human health benefits, which contain either raw or processed ingredients from one or more plants, inorganic materials or animal origin. Herbal medicine preparations are developed and created drugs by the modern pharmaceutical industry. Standardization and quality control depends upon the nature of crude drug and compound drugs, it’s source i.e. factors associated with raw materials which are beyond of human control like seasonal, geographical, age of the plant, time of collection, type of drying etc. due to these natural conditions. The percentage of chemical constituents of the drug does no remain uniform as our expectation. Physio-chemical studies like water soluble extract, alcohol soluble extract, ether soluble extract, hydro alcoholic soluble extract, total ash, water soluble ash, acid insoluble ash, were carried out as per the WHO guide lines. Analytical results showed total ash value of 11.8 to 12.8%. The amount of Acid insoluble ash was 2.53 to 2.66%. The water-soluble extractive value indicated the presence of sugar, acids and inorganic compounds. The water-soluble extractive value was found to be was 1.57 to 1.69%. The alcohol-soluble extractive value was found to be 1.0 to 1.4%. The water-soluble extractive value was found to be 4.8 to 5.5%. The formulations were found to be suitable for human use.
