According to an ancient and historical approach on medicine mainly performed in the Indian origin is Ayurveda. Ayurveda, one of the oldest medicinal systems from India, uses natural ingredients like herbs, plants, and shrubs to balance physiological doshas and promote healing. Dhanvantari gutika, is an Ayurvedic formulation described in Sahasrayoga which is useful in conditions such as Gastritis, cough, vomiting. The gutika was standardized by different parameters such Organoleptic evaluation like colour, odour, taste, shape; Physicochemical evaluation like Ash value, Extractive value, pH, Loss on drying, Foaming index; Phytochemical evaluation like Phytochemical Screening, TLC, HPTLC; Pharmaceutical evaluation like Hardness, Friability, Weight variation, Disintegration time and Toxicological evaluation like sterility test by pour plate method and heavy metal determination by atomic absorption spectroscopy. All these parameters were well within the norms specified by the Indian Ayurvedic Pharmacopeia with respect to a tablet. These parameters can determine the quality of product as Gutika.
