Abstract
Lavangathi chooranam is a well-known herbal remedy that is included in
the official Indian herbal formulary. It is a multi-herbal remedy that is
useful in treating all phases of whooping cough and chronic bronchitis and many
respiratory disorders. The aim of study is to compare and standardise the three
commercial Lavangathi chooranams. Quality and safety were evaluated using
physicochemical, chromatographic, and heavy metal analysis methods. The results
of the investigation showed that the quantities and physicochemical properties
of the market compounds varied amongst copies of the same formulation made by
different manufacturers. The study's findings show that trace amounts of heavy
metal residues in the drug of Lavangathi chooranam were within WHO standards.
GC-MS method is used to estimate thymol and Eugenol which are the major herbal
ingredients. Using HPLC technology, eugenol and piperine is quantified from
commercially available formulations of lavangathi chooranam. These parameters
may be useful finger prints for standardisation of the drug.
