Phalakalyana Ghrita (PKG) is a commonly used and prescribed Ayurvedic poly herbal formulation in all types of Infertility. However, till date no published data is available on its analytical profile. The main aims and objectives of this study are to develop the pharmacognostical and phytochemical profile of PKG. The pharmacognostical study reveals the presence of Lignified fibres, Prismatic crystals, Borderpitted vessels, Rhomboidal crystal, Scleroids, Stone cells etc. Pharmaceutical analysis showed that the loss on drying value was 0.47% w/w, Specific gravity was 0.9133, Refractive index was 1.46, Iodine value was 48.56, Saponification value was 227.05, and Acid value was 1.29. HPTLC fingerprinting profile of PKG revealed 10 spots at 254 nm and 5 spots at 366nm.
