Information regarding the active life span of the herb after collection, called veeryakaalaavadhi, has beenincorporated in Vanoshadhi Nidarshikaa, Ramsush il Singh, but the same has not been quoted. It is not thateasy to predict shelf-life of a herb. Apart from protection against physical and chemical changes, the preservation against the insects or mould attack is also important. Most of the herbs need to be preserved at temperature between 1-5 degrees C. to prevent microbial growth. Details are available in Quality ControlMethods for Medicinal Plant Materials, published by the World Health Organization, Geneva.
