Abstract

Medicinal plant extracts are the main constituents of the innumerous ayurveda, siddha and homeopathy medicines that cure various ailments and also contribute to the general well being of mankind. Herbal medicines must contain standardized extracts for gaining market value and global acceptability. Existing standardization strategies involve documenting the physico-chemical, chemical and biological characteristics of authentic medicinal plants and their extracts.

A document sheet that provides all standardized data about a medicinal plant as a ready reckoner reference to herbal manufacturers will greatly contribute to preparing standardized herbal medicines with global acceptability. In view of this the present review to document the data on various standardization parameters reported for the medicinal plant Hemidesmus indicus (Nannari), a plant well known in Indian traditional system of medicine.

Keywords: Hemidesmus indicus; Fact Sheet; Herbal Formulation; Standardized Data; Ready Reckoner
