Abstract
<p>Hingwadi Churna is a classical Ayurvedic formulation indicated for Shoola (abdominal pain). This study evaluates its physicochemical characteristics and chromatographic profile for standardization.</p>
<p>Methods: Hingwadi Churna was prepared according to classical Ayurvedic pharmaceutics. Organoleptic, physicochemical parameters—including pH, loss on drying, ash values, extractive values—and High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) were evaluated at 254 nm, 366 nm, and 510 nm.</p>
<p>Results: The formulation showed characteristic brown color, aromatic odour, and a fine soft texture. Physicochemical parameters were within acceptable ranges. HPTLC revealed major peaks at Rf 0.82–0.87 across wavelengths, indicating stable and consistent phytochemical components.</p>
<p>Conclusion: Hingwadi Churna exhibits a reproducible physicochemical and chromatographic profile, supporting its quality, purity, and therapeutic relevance in abdominal pain disorders.</p>
<p>KEYWORDS: Hingwadi Churna, HPTLC, Physicochemical Standardization, Ayurvedic Formulation, Shoola.</p>
