ABSTRACT

The most known Indian Traditional systems such as Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Homeopathy were being practiced all over the world and are gaining demand these years. Ayurveda originated in India some 6500 years ago, and is considered to be the mother doctrine of today’s holistic health care. The word is combination of Ayur, meaning “life” and Veda, meaning “science”. Literally translated from Sanskrit, Ayurveda means “the science of prolonging life”. Information on the quantitative parameters of Aristha i.e. Arjunaristha to guarantee the quality and the safety of the product to the consumer is less. In recent study quantitative parameters of self made & few brands of Arjunaristha have been evaluated as per Ayurvedic phrmacopoeial guidelines.

Keywords: Arishta, Ayurveda, Standardization, UV, colorimetri, Quantitative parameters.
