The manufacturer of Kayam Churna, Sheth Brothers, formulated a combination of few Ayurvedic herbs that benefit in constipation, blended them into powder form and labeled it as Kayam churna. As the standardization of herbal formulation is great concern for its safety and efficacy for that reason this work is aimed to formulation comparative evaluation of kayam churna with marketed product.
