Abstract

The drug Mandukaparni (Centella asiatica Linn. Urban) has been  extensively used as medicine and also used for in homely preparations. In  Ayurveda, Bhavana is a principal samskara (pharmaceutical procedure)  being used to potentiate the drug and induce additional therapeutic  properties in it. This process was carried out in the powdered whole plant  (abhavitha choorna) of Mandukaparni (Centella asiatica Linn.Urban), by  soaking it overnight into its own swarasa (fresh juice). The preliminary  phytochemical evaluation of abhavitha choorna and bhavitha choorna  (processed powder) of Mandukaparni (Centella asiatica Linn.Urban) was  done and the water insoluble ash, tannin, extractive values and successive  solvent extractive values were found more in bhavitha choorna when  compared to abhavitha choorna of the drug, which revealed that the  bhavana process can increase the potency and efficacy of the drug. The aim  of present study is to compare the findings of phytochemical analysis of the  both abhavitha and bhavitha choorna of the drug.
