Abstract : Batrisu vasanu is an ethnobotanically practiced nutraceutical believed to increase lactation and benefit new mothers in postpartum recovery. This mixture of 32 herbs is polyherbal in nature and requires the phytochemical profiling to better understand its clinical effect. With an aim to profile the phytochemicals, GC-MS was performed with aqueous methanolic extract of this polyherbal mixture. The sample showed various bioactive compounds present in the mixture. The GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of twenty-two phytochemicals namely Trifluoromethyl t-butyl disulfide, L-(+)-Ascorbic acid 2,6-dihexadecanoate, Bromoacetic acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester, and Farnesol isomer-A. Peak 5 at retention time 19.741 showed highest percentage area under the peak that was 22.742. The present study with phytochemical profiling of Batrisu vasanu revealed the presence of numerous bioactive compounds with effective medicinal properties. It can be concluded that the medicinal effect of Batrisu vasanu is due to these key bioactive phytochemicals.
