Deeksha Kesarwani*, Manjusha R., C. R. Harisha and V. J. Shukla
ABSTRACT
In Ayurveda, either Single or multiple herbs are used for the treatment. When combining the multiple herbs in a
particular ratio, its active constituents act in synergistic manner and give a better therapeutic effect. In this study

Chaksusya, Drishtishaktivardhaka, Antioxidant, Immunomodulatory and Vasodilator property. For the first time
the above mentioned herbal compound in the powder form was subjected to pharmacognostical and physicochemical
analysis. The microscopic evaluation of the powder showed the Prismatic crystal of Jeevanti, Oil
globules of Amalaki, Rosette crystal of Bibhitaki, Scleroides of Haritaki, Accicular crystal of Shatavari, Prismatic
crystals of Bhringaraja, Starch grains of Yastimadhu etc. Physico-chemical evaluation shows it has low moisture
content and high water soluble extractive value, indicating better stability and active constituents are more soluble
in water. High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) showed a difference of results when the
sample scanned at two wavelengths i.e. 254 nm and 366 nm having 08 and 05 spots respectively.
Keywords: HPTLC, Jeevantyadi lauha yoga, Pharmacognosy, Physico-chemical analysis.
