Background: Bronchial Asthma is a disease characterized by an increased responsiveness of the airways to various stimuli. It manifests by widespread narrowing of the airways causing paroxysmal dyspnoea, wheezing or cough. The drug combination selected in this study, Jivantyadi Churna is having properties to remove the obstruction made by Kapha in the Pranavaha Srotas and related system and normalize the functioning of Vayu. Aims: To carried out stability study of coarse powder of Jivantyadi Churna with respect to its stability against microbial contamination. Materials and Methods: Sample of prepared drug coarse powder of Jivantyadi Churna was prepared and studied to check microbial contamination at regular time intervals. Results: Every time sample was subjected to the microbiological study from the date of the preparation to the date of last microbiological study. No any contaminations were found in microbiological study. Discussion: Hence the present Study was carried out to observe the stability study of prepared drug coarse powder of Jivantyadi Churna with respect to microbial contamination of sample prepared and store in different climatic conditions and temperature. Thus a baseline microbial profile was studied at regular interval of 1 month for total 12 months (i.e. time for consumption of prepared drug). At the end of study it was found that sample was not showed presence of any microbes. Conclusion: In microbiological study of the prepared drug coarse powder of Jivantyadi Churna there were no growth found of microorganisms (bacterial or fungal), till 21th Feb 2019 i.e. 12 month from the date of preparation, shows its stability and good shelf life. Hence in present study the stability test of coarse prepared drug of Jivantyadi Churna with respect to microbiological findings was negative at room temperature, warm and cold, dry and humid conditions.
