These medicines are effective but commercialization of the manufacture of these medicines to meet this increasing demand has resulted in a decline in their quality, primarily due to lack of adequate regulations pertaining to this sector of medicine. The need of the hour is to evolve a systematic approach and to develop well-designed methodologies for the standardization of herbal formulations. In the paper, attempt has been made to evaluate Sulaharana Yoga, a Ayurvedic formulation. One sample was procured from manufactures and subjected to macroscopic, microscopic characterization, physico-chemical screening, thin layer chromatography (TLC) studies and was compared using in-house preparation formulation. It was observed that the commercial samples matched exactly with that of in-house preparation after performing the standardization. %K Sulaharana Yoga %K Ayurvedic drug %K Standardization %K TLC chromatogram. %U http://www.ijrap.net/admin/php/uploads/488_pdf.pdf
