Ayurvedic Testing

Ayurvedic Testing

We specialize in the testing of raw materials and crude drugs used in traditional systems of medicine, particularly Ayurvedic preparations, in accordance with the standards prescribed by the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India (API) and other relevant regulatory guidelines.

Our capabilities include comprehensive quality testing of all categories of finished Ayurvedic products, such as:

  • Arishta (medicated fermented decoctions)

  • Bhasma (calcined mineral preparations)

  • Churna (powders)

  • Lehya (electuaries/pastes)

  • Lepa (external applications)

  • Thaila (medicated oils)

  • And other traditional dosage forms

In addition to pharmacopoeial testing for identity, purity, and potency, we also conduct residue analysis for heavy metals (such as lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium) and pesticide residues to ensure safety and compliance with AYUSH and international standards.
