So the process of <em>Shodhana </em>becomes imperative in different media. In addition to it, <em>Shodhana </em>of <em>Guggulu </em>in different media brings specific properties to <em>Guggulu</em>. Ayurvedic medicines are gaining increase in popularity worldwide for the treatment of various diseases in recent times. In the present study, <em>Amritadya</em> <em>guggulu,</em> one of the <em>Guggulu</em> preparation mentioned in <em>Pidika, Bhagandara</em> and <em>Sthaulya</em> like conditions in <em>Chakkradatta</em>, was prepared and analysed so as to prove the safety and efficacy of the drug. <strong>Aims and objectives</strong>: To develop standard operative procedure for preparation of genuine drug and to analyze the safety and purity of the drug. <strong>Material and Methods</strong>: <em>Amritadya guggulu</em> was prepared as per classical texts and analysed by using different parameters like organoleptic properties, physicochemical properties, TLC etc. <strong>Discussion and Conclusion</strong>: 50% weight loss was observed. The weight loss was due to removal of impurities present in the <em>Guggulu</em> and handling loss. Presence of low acid insoluble ash (1.08%) determines the presence of low adherent dirt as well as sand particles. Presence of low moisture content (loss on drying 6.2%) decreases decomposition and enhances the shelf life and therapeutic value of the drug. Hence it can be concluded that the pharmaceutical and analytical study confirm the authenticity and quality of the drug.</p>}, number={2}, journal={AYUSHDHARA}, author={Swati Sharma and Manoj Sharma and Sudarshan Kumar Thakur}, year={2020}, month={Jun.}, pages={2581-2585} }
