Abstract | Woodfordia fruticosa (L.) Kurz commonly known as Dhawa or Dhataki, is an important medicinal plant that has been traditionally used in various systems of medicine for its therapeutic properties such as- dysentery, leprosy, leucorrhoea, menorrhagia, toothache. It has been used as astringent to treat dysentery and also for the treatment of bowl complaint and rheumatism. Pharmacognostical studies encompass the macroscopic and microscopic evolution of the plant material, including its botanical description, organoleptic properties and anatomical features, which aid in the identification and authentication of the plant. Physicochemical studies involve the determination of various physicochemical parameters such as foreign matter, ash values, extractive values. These parameters provide valuable information regarding the chemical composition and quality standards of Woodfordia fruticosa, facilitating its standardization and quality control in herbal drug. Overall, the Pharmacognostical and Physicochemical studies outlined in this study serve as a comprehensive reference for researchers and organizations engaged in further exploration of medicinal potential of Woodfordia fruticosa, paving the way for the development of therapeutic agents and herbal drugs. |
