Vidangadilouham is a very famous ayurvedic herbo-mineral compound formulation generally prescribed in powder form and directed to take with some vehicle like water, honey, jiggery, milk etc. It is indicated in various ayurvedic treatises for various disorders like prameha (diabetes), sotha (inflammation), pandu (anaemia), halimak (advanced or neglected stage of anemia), medoroga (hyperlipidaemia), kamla (jaundice) etc. The ingredients of vidangadilouham are vidanga (Embelia ribes), amla (Emblica officinalis), haritaki (Terminalia chebula), bahera (Terminalia bahera), krishnajeeraka (Nigella sativa), swetajiraka (Cuminum cyminum), sunthi (Zingiber officinale), mustaka (Cyperus rotundus), pippali (Piper longum) and Louhabhasma (Incinerated iron).In the present study the pharmacognostic and basic physicochemical study of the plant drugs including phytochemical screenings had been performed. The samples were collected from authentic suppliers in dried and crude form and the macroscopic study was performed first. Then these were subjected for powdering in pulveriser and sieved through 80 #. The powdered material was subjected for microscopic study and the identification characters for each sample were noted carefully with proper illustrations. All the powdered drugs were mixed carefully with louhabhasma and thoroughly triturated well. The microscopic study and physicochemical tests of the finished product was also carried out. The data obtained from this study further may be used as a source of standard monograph for vidangadilouham.
