In Ayurveda many Ayurvedic formulations are explained, which used to treat a variety of illness since ancient time and to protect patient faith in Ayurveda and Ayurvedic treatment, scientifically proven safety, standard and quality of herbs is the need of the hour. Nilotpaladi yoga (NY) is mentioned in Ayurvedic texts for the Treatment of Raktatisara (~haemorrhagic diarrohea). Nilotpaladi yoga consists of four ingredients such as Nilakamala (Nymphaea nouchali Burm. f.), Mocharasa (Salmalia malabarica Schott & Endl.), Lajavanti (Mimosa pudica Linn.) and Kamalakesara (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.). Nilotpaladi yoga ingredient like Mochrasa (Salmalia malabarica Schott & Endl.) is known to be effective as Shonita sthapaka gana (a group of drugs that act as haemostatics). Physiochemical analysis of Nilotpaladi yoga is not explored in detail. So, this article is an attempt to present a physiochemical analysis of ingredients of Nilotpaladi yoga by using Modern analytical Techniques. Physio-chemical analysis, HPTLC etc., were carried out as per standard methods.
