Formulation of hajral yahud pishti and its in vitro antiurolithiatic effect

Abstract

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to formulate and analyze the physicochemical properties of hajral yahud pishti and its in vitro evaluation for antiurolithiatic effect. Methods: Hajral yahud pishti was prepared using chandan arka, nagarmotha arka, and jala (water), respectively, as bhawana dravya. Physicochemical parameters were carried out using standard methods mentioned in official compendium of Ayurveda. In vitro antiurolithiatic activity of the prepared hajral yahud was done on artificially prepared urine. Results: No significant variation was observed in the physicochemical analysis of all prepared samples in different concentrations, i.e., 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1000 µL of the hajral yahud pishti showed dose-dependent antiurolithiatic activity in prepared artificial urine 1000 µL concentration exhibited 74.47% protection. Conclusion: The prepared hajral yahud pishti gave protection against urolithiasis.
