In the present investigation, different types of test preparations of Ashwagandharishta as Ashwagandharishta-T, Ashwagandharishta-M prepared by traditional and modern methods respectively and marketed Ashwagandharishta were evaluated for antimicrobial activity against common human pathogens. It was observed that all the test preparations of Ashwagandharishta exhibited significant zone of inhibition against selected common human pathogens. The results indicate that all the test preparations of Ashwagandharishta as Ashwagandharishta-T, Ashwagandharishta-M and marketed Ashwagandharishta might be used as natural drug for the treatment of several infectious diseases caused by these organisms.
