Medicinal plant materials are formulated into various types of Ayurvedic medicine either by ancient or modern methods where standardization plays a pivotal role for authentication. Standardization confirms the identity, quality and purity of drugs. WHO has set up various parameters to evaluate the crude drugs and their finished products. Now a day’s application of several modern analytical techniques has become inevitable for evaluating quality, safety and efficacy of the polyherbal Ayurvedic formulations. Out of several formulations available in Ayurveda, <em>Anjana</em> is considered as unique in <em>Shalakya</em> <em>Tantra</em> due to its various forms (which are prepared by different ways). This article is about the formation of <em>Nagaradi</em> <em>Anjana</em> as ointment which can be taken as a form of <em>Raskriyanjana</em>. Most of the ingredients of <em>Nagaradi</em> ointment are <em>Chakshushya</em> i.e., good for eyes and also have <em>Kaphashamak </em>properties. That is why they are useful in ocular diseased conditions which have dominance of <em>Kapha</em> <em>dosha </em>like<em> Kaphaja Abhishyanda</em>. Keeping all these points in view, the present study has been undertaken with the aim to make the Ayurvedic formulation in the form of <em>Raskriya</em> <em>Anjana</em> or ointment, from the herbal drugs, mentioned in <em>Astanga</em> <em>Sangrah</em>, an Ayurvedic classical text and to develop the physiochemical profile of it. The eye ointment was prepared by using vaseline as base which is mixed with powdered <em>Ghana</em> <em>Satva </em>of the herbal drugs.</p&gt;}, number={7}, journal={International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharma Research}, author={Sarita Yadav and Anupama Singh and Ranjana Negi}, year={2021}, month={Aug.}, pages={22-25} }
