Formulation consists of following herbs &lt;em&gt;Orchis latifolia, Hygrophila auriculata, Asparagus racemosus &lt;/em&gt;and&lt;em&gt; Elettaria cardamomum&lt;/em&gt;. The main aim of this study was to standardize&lt;em&gt; Safoof-e-Makhana&lt;/em&gt; (SM), on the basis of organoleptic characters and physico-phytochemical analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The drugs were cleaned, dried in shade and powdered by passing through sieve # no. 80 as per the method described in UPI / National Formulary of Unani Medicine. This Safoof formulation was evaluated using physicochemical tests: powder characterization, extractive value, alcohol and water soluble matter, Ash value, LOD at 105&lt;sup&gt;0&lt;/sup&gt;C, pH and HPTLC fingerprinting. Statistical analysis used: Mean &amp;plusmn; SEM. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Organoleptic characters of the formulation are light brown colour, characteristic odour, sweet taste and moderately fine texture. Physicochemical parameters displayed water soluble extractive (21.83 &amp;plusmn; 0.08), alcohol soluble extractive (7.87 &amp;plusmn; 0.09), total ash (4.76 &amp;plusmn; 0.08), acid insoluble ash (3.36 &amp;plusmn; 0.01), water soluble ash (0.89 &amp;plusmn; 0.25), LOD at 105&lt;sup&gt;o&lt;/sup&gt;C (11.38 &amp;plusmn; 0.34), pH of 1% and 10% solution were 6.6 &amp;plusmn; 0.1 and 6.0 &amp;plusmn; 0.1 respectively. Phytochemical qualitative analysis displayed presence of alkaloids, tannins, flavanoids, steroids, terpenoids, carbohydrates, volatile oil. HPTLC fingerprinting data was also set in. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The standardization of this formulation was done and the data obtained would be used as a standard for future reference.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">899</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gazi Jahangeer Rather, Hamiduddin*, Mohd Ikram, Shaista Fatima, MD Naquibuddin &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
