SCIENTIFIC VALIDATION OF JAWARISH-E-BISBASA – A UNANI FORMULATION
AbstractThe compound drug Jawarish-e-Bisbasa is a polyherbal Unani formulation. It is used in the ailments of general weakness of the stomach, flatulence in the stomach, indigestion, blind piles and nausea etc. Therefore the scientific validation for development of SOP, pharmacopoeial standards, TLC studies and safety parameter is very much essential to provide the quality medicine to the needy mass. The drug was prepared in different batches at laboratory scale using authenticated nine raw drugs. The present study was aimed to develop the SOP’s for the preparation of drug and to evaluate its pharmacopoeial parameters, estimation of heavy metals, microbial load, aflatoxins and pesticide residues. The obtained physicochemical data will help in laying down SOP’s and pharmacopoeial standards for this drug. Thin Layer Chromatographic studies of the drug will provide the finger prints which will help in quality control and detection of adulteration. The result of quality control parameters such as microbial load, aflatoxins, heavy metals and pesticide residue shows that the drug is free from toxic substances.
