Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine Hargouri Ras (A known Ayurvedic formulation used in Cancer). The objective of this study was to determine the authenticity of the medications employed in the formulation. The current study will give referential information for the proper identification and standardisation of the drug, as well as ensuring that only authentic and uniform material is used in the future manufacturing of Hargouri Ras. The test drug (Hargouri ras) was prepared in N.I.A pharmacy, under the supervision of experts and then procured for further research. The physical test like moisture content, Ph value, Alcohol Extractive, Aqueous Extractive Value, Petroleum Ether Extractive Value, Total Ash, Acid Insoluble Ash, Water Soluble Ash which is 2.43%,7.3,1.25,3.59%,0%,78.43%,67.43%,3.02% respectively for the purpose of quality control.

ISSN NO. 2581-785X IRJAY IS OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF BALA G PUBLICATION INTRODUCTION Ayurveda, an ancient Indian medicinal system, employs natural resources such as herbs, metals, minerals, and formulations in its remedies. Rasashastra, a branch of Ayurveda, exclusively deals with various types of metals and minerals, their origins, processing procedures, qualities, therapeutic benefits, the potential for detrimental consequences, and how to control them. Ayurvedic text books mention a variety of preparations for the treatment of cancer. Hargouri ras is the Sidha prayog latika's reference medication. It is made by mixing equal amounts of Raskarpura (HgCl2), Hartal (As2S3), and Somal (As2O3) and is recommended for Karkatak arbuda (cancer). The current study presents macroscopic and microscopic analyses in several solvents/reagents to assist in the correct identification of the mineral compound, which detects and prevents any adulteration(s). The problem now is to use established methodologies to certify the plant's therapeutic efficacy and safety. MATERIAL AND METHODS Collection of Sample The mineral drug mentioned in Sidha prayog latika for preparation of Hargaouri Ras were collected from the pharmacy of NIA., Jaipur, for authentication from the department of Pharmacognosy of the Institute.
