Standardization and Formulation of Keshar Kalpana in Ayurveda: A Rasashastra Approach

Author: Srishti Negi

Abstract: The present study explores the formulation and standardization of Keshar Kalpana (saffron-based medicines) through an Ayurvedic Rasashastra approach. Saffron, known for its potent therapeutic properties, holds a significant place in Ayurvedic medicine. The research integrates traditional Ayurvedic methodologies with modern analytical techniques to ensure the efficacy, safety, and consistency of these formulations. This paper focuses on standardization protocols, quality control measures, and the formulation process of saffron-based medicines to bridge the gap between ancient knowledge and contemporary pharmaceutical practices. Analytical tools like High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC), organoleptic characteristics, and bioactive content quantification have been employed for validation.
