Standardization is an essential measurement for ensuring the quality control of the herbal drugs. “Standardization” expression is used to describe all measures, which are taken during the manufacturing process and quality control leading to a reproducible quality. Kutajaghana vati is official in Ayurvedic formulary of India and is prescribed for the treatment of diarrhea, Irritable bowel syndrome. It is a polyherbal preparation containing two ingredients. In this research paper, an attempt has been made to develop standardization methods of Kutajaghana vati.
