ABSTRACT
Ayurvedic medicines are the combinations of selected herbal/crude
drugs and are manufactured under different pharmaceutical processes
to result in various dosage forms such as churnas, bhasmas, liquid,
lehas, pill, tablet etc. Churna is defined as a fine powder of drug or
drugs in ayurvedic system of medicine. Drugs mentioned in patha are
cleaned properly, dried thoroughly, pulverized and then sieved. The
churna is free flowing and retains its potency for one year, if
preserved in airtight containers. Churna formulations are similar to
powder formulations in allopathic system of medicine. In recent days
churna is formulated into tablets in order to fix the dose easily. These
forms of medicament are prescribed generally because of their particle
size. Smaller the particle size greater is the absorption rate from g.i.t
and hence the greater is bioavailability. Aim of this article to give a
detail account on some parameter use for standardization of churna
commercially prepared and marketed.
