Abstract

Abstract: Bhallataka (Semecarpus anacardium Linn.) is one among the wonderful drugs used to cure many diseases like inflammation,
piles, cancer etc in Indian system of medicine. Shodhana (purificatory procedures) is must before administering the drug to the
patients. The oily fraction in the pericarp of the fruit is responsible for the toxic nature of the drug. In southern parts of India,
to purify Bhallataka fruit, frying method is followed traditionally. Here an attempt has been made to find out the impact of
traditional folk-lore Shodhana (purificatory procedure) method by the physico-chemical parameters including HPTLC analysis.
In 254 nm, raw bhallataka showed five spots but the shodhita Bhallataka showed only four spots, this difference may be due to
the shodhana procedures.

Key words: Ayurveda, Shodhana, Bhallataka, physicochemical, HPTLC
