Ayurvedic Panchakarma formulations especially Basti preparations are highly specific according to the disease conditions. Moreover, classical texts have specified quantities of each content as per the Doshik predominance. Thus final prepared product is having a specific physicochemical characteristic which may alter with the bio availability of the active principles, functional properties, retention time etc. of the Basti. Lekhan Basti is one such formulation advised specially in Medoroga. Thus with view to standardised this formulation physicochemical analysis of Lekhan Basti was done. According to Standardized physicochemical data of Lekhan Basti its Specific Gravity, Density, Refractive Index, pH, Total Solid Contents, Viscosity and Tannin contents were 1.14, 1.14 g/ml, 1.408, 4.0, 59% w/v, 4.12 and 4.3% w/v respectively.
