ABSTRACT
Now a days, the use of herbal pharmaceuticals has become a global trend among people returning to natural therapies. According to WHO guidelines, every herbal product should be standardized to ensure its quality, efficacy and safety. In view of this present study was done to standardize Sunoon-e-Mukhrij-e- Ratubat; (SMR) a herbo-mineral formulation prescribed by the Unani physicians to cure periodontitis which is commonly known as dental pyorrhea; a severe dental infection characterized by the inflammation and bleeding of the gums. The main aspect of the study was subjected to various parameters like taxonomic identification of the ingredients, organoleptic studies and identification of the ingredients in the formulation, physicochemical studies such as loss in weight, total ash, acid insoluble ash, pH of 5 % solution, water and alcohol soluble matter and TLC studies. Besides this heavy metal studies, pesticidal residue and microbial contamination studies were also performed so as to set the quality standards of the formulation.
