Standardization of ayurvedic formulation is essential in order to assess the quality of drugs.Avaleha is "A semisolid preparation which is prepared by reboiling of decoction etc., till it solidifies and attains signs of proper cooking and consistency. The present study deals with the standardization of Avaleha from Benincasahispida, known to be effective in cough and chronic respiratory diseases.Avaleha formulation was prepared by reported traditional methods of Ayurveda. Prepared formulation standardized by modern scientific quality control procedure for the finished product. Standardization of Avalehawas achieved by organoleptic study, physicochemical parameters such as pH, Loss on drying, Extractive values, Ash value, total reducing sugars, and stability study. The results showed that the physicochemical parameters were well within the standard limits and the values could be used to establish and formulate procedures for standardization and quality controlling of these ayurvedic formulations. The study revealed that the standardization parameters could be used at a commercial level for such formulations.
