Herbomineral, Clinical Safety, Arogyavardhini, Heavy metal

Herbomineral formulations such as Arogyavardhinigutika have been used for liver and skin disorders in the Ayurvedic system of medicine. However, toxicity due to the presence of heavy metals in traditional medicines is a matter of concern and there have been reports questioning safety of their metallic contents, especially the presence of heavy metals. It, therefore, becomes imperative for the contemporary practitioners of Ayurveda to document and publish their observations on the clinical safety of classical herbomineral formulations as such studies will enable the scientific community to believe traditional systems also as evidence based. The current work is an effort to document the clinical safety as well as the off- label indications for Arogyavardhinigutika with objective to review and report dose observations related side-effects and safety of Arogyavardhinigutika.
