Hence the present study has been taken to analyze Amrutakalaanidhi Vati (AKN Vati) as per Ayurveda classics and modern parameters like physicochemical tests, XRD, SEM EDAX. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To do Pharmaceutico-Analytical study of AKN Vati. Materials and Methods: Preparation of AKN vati and physic-chemical analysis of AKN vati and Varatika at different stages. RESULTS: Preparation yielded a good quality of vati and the overall methods adopted were not too tedious. XRD showed change in crystallinity of calcium compound and SEM-EDX showed calcium and silica as major elements in VB and AKN Vati. Discussion and Conclusion: AKN vati indicated in Jwara and Agnimandya. To gain acceptance of the medicine at the global level present study focused on pharmaceutical and analytical aspects.
