ABSTRACT

Bharangi—Clerodendrum serratum (L.) is a medicinal plant that is used to treat Shwasa- bronchial asthma, Kasa-cough, Shotha-oedema, and Jwara-fever. It has a hot potency that balances Kapha and Vata. To obtain specific drug action and photochemical constituents, location of collection, the season of collection, and the time of collection need to be considered. This study analyzed and compared Bharangi root—Clerodendrum serratum (L.) collected from Waynad, Kerala (Sample A), and Punjab (Sample B). In both Samples A and Sample B, the difference in loss on dry (0.573), total ash (0.361), alcohol soluble extract (0.802), and water- soluble extract (2.648) was observed, which were within the standard limits. More drug concentration was observed at UV 254 and 366 nm in Sample A, where as in sample B was observed at UV 660 nm in HPTLC. This could be because of the collection's location andseason. Water extraction was higher in the Sample A which is an Anupa Desha, while alcohol extraction was higher in Sample B which is an Jangala Desha.
