It is also used to lower the cholesterol and triglycerides. Trikatu churna also improves blood channels via detoxifying properties .It provides relief from joints pain and stiffness in case of gout. This study was undertaken to standardize the trikatu churna through pharmaceutical evaluation. The sample was subjected for phytochemical and various physico-chemical parameters like total ash (4.59%), acid insoluble ash (0.91%) LOD (10.06%), PH (10% Aq.sol) (5.46%), alcohol soluble extractive (8.64%), water soluble extractive (25%). Moreover it contains various phytochemical like phyto sterol, alkaloids, carbohydrates, phenol etc. Thus the physico-chemical character?s may provide guidelines for the standardization of powder formulation of trikatu churna.
